Got mine today. They updated the manual to 50:1 and they done away with the case and only give a bar sleeve. Drill two hole and throw a bungee on it. Mine was brutal to start out of the box and didn’t like the choke on, but once I got it, it starts first or second pull. Worked just fine first use cutting up to 20” logs. My chain wasn’t bad.
Yeah iv had nothing but the worst luck with sthil products. Always have so I stay away from them as well as Husqvarna but that's just due to my experiences and those of people i know.
Nope no problems at all. I honestly think it runs a bit better but I try to do what is recommended and if all u got is 50-1 ill do that but longevity wise it is best to do what's recommended.
Why did you say you put a red can of 50:1 when the chainsaw comes with 40:1 oil and the tag you pulled off clearly says 40:1? You need the green gas can of 40:1. Guess you should have read the instructions instead of throwing them off to the side. You should do the proper thing in the video so people don’t copy you and damage their tools 👍🏼. Some newer versions of this chainsaw from Lowe’s use 50:1 ratio. But this is not the case with what you showed in the video.
Thank you! I've never worked a gas powered chain saw before, this was exactly what I needed!
Glad I could help!
So you bought another Poulan, brilliant!!!!!!

I have the exact same the only difference is mine has a troybilt sticker
Me to
W content but just keep doggo inside when operating chainsaws, better safe than sorry.
I'm learning for the first time. Very informative! Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Any videos for chain adjustment...instructions recommend adjustment after first use. Also for chain removal and reinstalled?
I have an older craftsman saw and it starts easy also. My new stihl is a nightmare to start.

Hey Jason, not sure if you still have this saw if you do could you upload a video showing the chain brake assembly?
As soon as I get time i will!
Hey I have a ? I noticed you put 50 to 1 mix in the saw it calls for 40 to 1 any issues ?

Pro tip: get somebody to hold the damn camera for you.
5 or 6 bucks isn't much of a discount
Hope you didn’t put that 50:1 fuel in her!! It calls for 40:1!!
