I have read the poulan 3314 was bigger cc then the 33cc it is listed at. Whats the scoop. By the way this is the newer strato version that came in on trade with JD.
-
42cc?
-
Looks like it still has the emissions sticker inside the rear handle. The displacement will be on that decal. Will say something like "42cc engine family".
-
Sticker says 3314 family 42cc
-
There ya go. 42cc for a 33cc price. Seen that quite a bit with the consumer Poulans.
-
Got a poulan 3314 in Friday with no start issue. Already been through a professional :P dealer shop and still no go he said.
I like the challenge and see what I find today. ;D
-
To freaking easy. Not even a challenge.
-
Dump mix into glass jar I use. Right off this is going to be my guess right there.
Used check spark analyzer and coil shows good. http://www.check-spark.com/
Plug looks new. Windsor spark plug, dont recall seeing those before.
Checked all lines.
Checked carb nuts and air filter.
Then put in my mix and used purge bulb to pass new mix through carb good.
Started right up.
Only thing wrong was = Old mix you could see separation of water and smelled old like turpentine a bit.
-
How could a shop not figure that out? Disgraceful.

Come on. That is bad. They need to find a new 2 cycle mechanic. The very first thing I do when at work is to pull the gas cap and take a whiff. If slightly suspect I toss the fuel. Don't you wish they were all that hard.
-
had one in other day everything on it wore out except engine. recoil spool ,chain sprocket, bar and chain, carb rebuild fuel lines. stripped out one that was like new but had been straight gassed. put it back to work. owner was tickled to get it back because it was a workhorse.

I find these 3314 just sound awful. The mufflers must be very restrictive. Ignition must be quite advanced as they always want to take off your fingers if you are not committed to your pull.

The owner told me the story. Owner had loaned the saw out to a friend that was using it at the deer camp. I told him how his mix looked and smelled. He dont know what mix other guy was using as it wasnt his. He did say the friend wont be getting his saw anymore.
He dont know what dealer his friend took the saw to. But said he thought it was a small amish or mennonite type shop.

Does anyone know offhand what the initial carb settings are on these Stratos Poulans. I'm out 2 1/2 on low speed and it still seems weak in the cut.
-
2 and a half is pretty normal but it may need more
-
Checked the strato 3314 with same carb set up as 4218 it appears. Carb good to go but the oiler not working. Another easy fix.
If I had known 3314 had a good carb I would have tried it on the 4218 with carb with issues. Oh well new carb already on its way.
Seems like another low hour saw

Oiler working great with the new replacement. Only thing carb started acting funny in test cuts. Pulled the cover and the black plastic piece for the air inlet cr acked and fell off. LOL
Good thing I bought that new carb for the 4218 that tuned out to be scored.
-
Shown the black plastic piece where it crac ked and fell off with the spring return.
-
I put the used half with plastic piece off the other saw. Carb started acting like it needed kit. So I pulled the new carb off the scored one and installed new lines. Good to go.
So this one has new carb, new lines and new oiler. More in it then I can sell for local. :P
Oh well make a good loaner if it dont sell for 40-50 local.
-
Love easy money 💰. Dropped off just now on a call in today. Locked up. Everything was checking out. Found fastener from inside pulley area came out and lodged behind flywheel. Now to finish putting back and test and tune.
Well guess need to put in a new fuel line first. Typical 😋
Phew nasty
LOL found the idle screw missing and down by the lower tank vent area. smh

This why I keep even the cheap saws around. To grab parts from when needed to do stuff on the cheap for occasional use homeowner.
Ran with chain brake on and clutch spring lost its temper. Broke through the brake band too.
Using PP4018 might be a 4218 for part instead of rebuilding it. Just had a slight score and had good used p+c already. Long as newer strato seems most swap.
Also needs a carb kit or a new carb. Being almost same prices.
Sold the little woodshark one yesterday too.
-
Was out of the poulan zama carb kits to try to make sure this saw needed a new carb or not. Cost for new carb is so close. But being I am curious. I remembered a new stihl 180 carb that has been in a bin for 2 years now. Guessed right both use same kit.
