Title: Poulan intake boot
Post by: Cut4fun . on March 16, 2013, 12:11:07 pm
Grabbed some pics while in the barn.  Poulan intake small and large.

Here is the small poulan intake 530027218 NLA poulan 3000 305 3300 3.0 3.3 335 etc etc below numbers  too. Compared to the poulan 330 380 3450 3750 bigger intake.

 :)thats good info cut!
now how about a comparison pic of the boot opening between the smaller and bigger saws ;)
not many of the bigger saws around here, mostly the 2700-3100's. and i never thought to look when i did have a 330 here last summer. i'm sure the opening could be made bigger with a grinder 8)
i know on the 2800's the metal flange is really a bottle neck and you do notice a pretty good difference opening it up to match the boot and stock carb. you just need to use one of them brass rings from a stihl to keep the boot from collapsing. of course, i have no idea what stihl the ring is from as i had it here and no idea where it actualy came from :-* it's on my uncles 2800. muff mod, gasket delete and the plate ground open. no porting, the little saw really puts a good whooping on my muffler moded 5105 :)

You mean intake side of cylinders opening?  I have a 335 and 3450 60cc off right now I can do that with.

that, and the opening in the rear handle where the boot goes through where the carb mounts. :)

I know farmboy said he had to open the opening in rear handle on 3000 3300 305 or something once to use bigger intake.

Otherwise intakes same same to me on cylinder. Even test fitted each too.

Found his post.

Just put PP330,3450,3750 intake boot on my 3500.  The intake spigot/snout on the 2800-3500 is the same size as the PP330.  Boot is perfect fit.  Also changed the HDA49 to a HDA164.  Didnt have a intake bracket for larger carb. so I ground out the smaller one to fit the 164.  It's now snoutless.  I don't think it will be a problem as there is plenty of sealing surface.  Next Jacks order I'll probably get a couple intake brackets PN: 530049465 for larger carbs.

 :)thanks cut! is a trick of the pic, or does the 'bigger' boot have a slightly larger intake opening at the cylinder end?

The small boots are NLA.  I'm pretty sure the big boots are available which is a better choice anyway.  You will need the bigger intake bracket to go with it.
The big boot fits all the gas tank/handles I've tried 2800,3000,3300.  It doesn't need any grinding or modifying.  It is a perfect tight fit.

I'm eager to see if you're able to get the larger boot from Jacks (or elsewhere).  Early this year, I ordered a boot for my PP330 through Baileys (who apparently uses drop shippers for the Poulan parts they sell).  After six weeks or so....................they canceled the boot from my order (stating it was no longer available)... ???
Title: Re: Poulan intakes
Post by: brokenbudget on March 16, 2013, 10:43:54 pm
it could be. it doesn't say anything about being on a back order. of course, when i ordered the bearings and seals for the next 2800 i'm working on, it didn't say anything until i checked out that the bearings are on back order. just waiting on that order before i place another one.

I just contacted a guy and ask if he has poulan 330 intake boots in hand and in stock. He said yes. 

 Boots are usually close to $10 and some change new plus shipping.  This guy gets a premium price with shipping included $17.

I don't know what that is in the pic either.  Sure isn't an intake boot for 330.  I need 3 of em I'm gonna try Jack's or Pats before i buy them from him.

Let me or us know if they fill the order with 330 boots. I didnt think to ad a 330 boot to my jacks order in route to find out.

Thats why I have 2 of the smaller intakes as extras.    The larger intake in pic set me back $4 and shipping.

well, ordered a boot up. found a bigger carb and also the retainer. once it all gets here imma going to see what kind of improvments/detractions just the bigger intake stuff makes on a 2800. :)

I was wondering if there could be any difference noticed too. So let us know please.

I was thinking of doing the swap on my PP365 but never did.

Doesn't the 365 have an HDA49 on it?  Mine does.  The HDA134 and the 164 are considerably larger 164 being the largest.  Probably be worth it IMO.
I think I did one of mine but haven't run it yet.

Yep smaller carb and intake on the 365, 3500 etc.

found a carb (164) and retainer on chainsawr, and ordered the boot from 'that guy' ;) ;)
the chainsawr stuff shipped about  half hour after i ordered it, and the boot just shipped. :)

I just rebuilt the carb on my 365 and you are correct.    I compared it to a 164 I have here and there is a big difference in size between the 49 and 164.   It would have to make a difference on the 365 saw.

Cant wait to see someone run their saw with the bigger boots and carb, that has to make a difference!

That pic looks like a rubber intake box from a motorcycle. Its kind of a small pic though.

I was reading about a craftsman 3.3 for sale.  RUBBER BOOT HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH SILICON , SEEMS TO BE HOLDING   WELL.  :-X  Wonder if it was a ripped fix patch.  :o

The small poulan intake boot is NLA oem but there is aftermarket ones in the works. ;)  2700 2800 3000 305 335 3300 3.0 2.8 3.7 3500 365  etc
