If you want a real saw get the 3120XP .

Can't wait to see what you do with it. That has been my truck saw this winter. Slight muffler mod (mines an open can) and new carb (I need to check the venturi). It sure won't win any races stock. But, if sharp, gets the job done, if a little slow. I don't think I'll port mine, even if you get really good results ... but you never know. I don't think I'd pay more than 30 or 40 bucks for one, so if someone steals it from the back of my truck, I don't care much. But, I've cut small loads in winter every once in a while with it, and it puts wood on the truck. Good luck! I'll stay tuned to see what you do to it.

Did you change any port timing or just open things up?

👍

I fully understand what u were working with. I ran my shop with an extension cord for 2yrs. Then I direct buried 10/3 UF cable so I could do the exact same thing u have done. It has made everything much better than before cause I don’t trip any breakers anymore. Good job and good luck on all your future projects.

you should jump up to 20 amp breakers with #12 romex......#14 gauge wire is for 15 amp breakers

👍👍 nice work! My mutts are chicken-dogs with fireworks and loud noises too.

Is that the clamshell type?

Nice 💪🏼

Ol' dad is is a mountain of a man! I'll bet there wasn't a lot of back-talking in that household 😁😁😁

Its a runner

you could have made a boat out of that log

👍

That is some big wood but you made quick work of it

👍👍 that’s some big lumber- perfect for a saw like that.

Nice workout for you, your dad and the saw.

What a difference from what you had to work with from the start. Nice job.

That baby is running better and better as she breaks in. Pretty impressive for a clone saw.

👍🆙️TW

Prima vi mettete sui profili per poi dire che non siete voi dilo anche agli altri quanti pantaloni e jeans e motosegone ai

Man O’ man! She definitely needs the overnight soak in the 1/2 atf and 1/2 acetone mixture!!! LMFFAO to get your last little bit of time out of that crispy critter!!! LMFFAO! Ain’t never actually had a “clicker!” Diaphragm before!!! LMFFAO

That’s the best thing you can do to a 562 xp muffler mod the saw will run cooler a lot more responsive more power it will improve the longevity of your saw heat is what kills a chainsaw. I did the same with my 550xp mark 2 and my 562 & 572 I’ve noticed a big improvement.

I still like the older Poulan saws, like a lot of people the box store saw of choice. I started out with them but like you said once you use a ported saw you are not going back.

You had a rough go this vid TW 😂 , little saw that could , see what it turns into

Well can't wait to see it all done!

I have a homelite super xl automatic its starts when the the choke is pull but when the choke is pushed back all the way in it lock off it kinda idle when the choke is in halfway in

Theres a few on craigslist around here cheap

I have cut fire wood with my 5020 for around 5-6 years. I still pick it up even after owning more expensive saws. (Echo, Husky, Makita, and the orange and white one that is hard to start.

Modern plastic Poulans are such steaming piles of 💩.

Dang i thought you were going to run out of day light before you worried your way through that log.😅

👍

Do you plan on making a video of your work on the saw? I for one would love to see it.

I own one of those, it has been a great firewood saw.

That’s awesome man that’s the saw I was considering building lol 😆.. I totally had a blast building last years cheap saw which was the first time I had ever bothered with a Poulan. Those look like a lot of fun too. Good stuff TW

👍👍 that chain brake flopping around, like a hit and miss engine……about as fast too!😊

Top notch info on this mod , love the way yours sounds. I took the tube out of mine but left factory defector. I think I need to do it the way you did it .

👍👍👍
