It was surprisingly strong for its size. Thanks for watching

Is yours a 490 by any chance ?

A 520

Indeed!

Chain IS dull !

Swamp Donkey, it's been a year , but if you see this please let me know if you had any other symptoms. My poulan runs and cuts great , but after 5 -10 minutes it bugs down and sounds like it is starving for fuel, and then quits. It won't start again until cool

Brad Rolling sounds exactly like I said, probably a ring, in which case, being a Poulan you’re probably better off junking it and getting a new one 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@SwampDonkey530 I know, you're probably right. It was my late dad's so I'll hang onto it for sentimental reasons. Thank you for the info, I'll check it out.

Brad Rolling yes, my junk pile is extensive and large, lol 😂 must have 2000 cylinders

You too. hope you and you family have a blessed thanksgiving.there is so Much to be thankful for. God bless you guys

The chain must have road up on the bar the cut just before 5:48 the next cut it’s back and no slack thanks for watching man

@@cheaphomesteading ahh that makes sense now. I'm no pro with saws or anything, but iv'e always been taught to make sure there isn't slack....so good to know. Thank you for making the video by the way. It was very helpful for sure. I have an old Jonsered 520sp that hasn't been used in many years, and wouldn't start. I tore everything down, and working like a champ now. I couldn't figure out how to fully pull the carb but got enough apart to clean. The connections to it seemed so different than most carbs so wasn't sure.

@@cheaphomesteading No Sir, your chain was too slack, and very dull. That saw was struggling the whole time. One of those cheap little tachs off Amazon make tuning a whole lot easier, precise, and save the motor, eh. Peace

You can try to open the high jet a little bit more. Because it sounds like it’s heating up.

It is possible it’s a fuel filter issue and it slowly runs out of fuel. But I bet if you open up the high jet a little bit more. turn the screw left just a little bit and then try it

@@cheaphomesteading Thanks! I'll try that next. I just replaced the fuel line and filter. I failed to mention this is the 1st time in 9 years it's been started. I broke down and cleaned the carb thoroughly. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a carb rebuild kit in Montgomery, Alabama! Everything around town is Husqvarna or Stihl. Thanks again and I'll keep trying until it runs true. It was my late dad's saw.

@@cheaphomesteading poulan IS WITH Husqvarna . Opening up the high side is clockwise, correct?

It’s counter clockwise to open it up. Clockwise. close it. Hope you get a running man

The high needs Too be full throttle When you adjust it. the low idol adjustment is made at idle. Thanks for watching men

It is running out of fuel first check the fuel filter in the tank. Then check the fuel lines if that is ok you will have to clean the carburetor out one of the small holes are plugged in the carburetor. Hope you get it running thanks for watching

@@cheaphomesteading But Sir Carburetor is new

Replace

If you open up the low jet a bit more see if that helps when you hit the throttle. You might have to raise the idle a bit but don’t raise it higher than the chain will stop turning when you let off.

@@cheaphomesteading Sir tell me how I can Restore this problem .

The high side screw does adjust the high side but if you set it to the rich side on the high side screw. It will be hard to start. If you have the high side set correctly or to the lean side it will start easier. The low side screw is meant to adjust idle and the moment you rev it up. Thanks for watching

Chain was dull, but those saws are not underpowered.... they run 8pin .325 as a standard.... you gotta have good power to do that....
