Re: Poulan 2300AV...........in Craftsman colors.

A few quick shots of my latest garage sale find.  Another low-time Craftsman saw.  Still covered in shelf grime, except where I wiped it off to see the #'s.  This one's a Craftsman 2.3/16" badged 2300AV.  Piston looks very good.  Needs the usual fuel lines/carb kit rehab.  Will do the crank seals (530019059-----SKF4913) too for PM.  Also nees a new fuel cap.  The updated Micro caps (that don't leak) are available from Poulan and Husqvarna for about $5.   Husky used those caps on some rebadged Poulan Micros (Husky 23), blowers, and weedwackers.

Starter pulley is busted.  Still has the factory cord with the molded on cylindrical plastic anchor.  Haven't seen one of these pulleys bust like that.   Usually it's the 'ratchet' section in the center where the pawls grab that get's chewed up.

Has the PowerSharp setup, but the PS chain has been replaced with a loop of conventional chain.  Haven't yet looked to see if the PS stone has been removed.  The AV and non-av Micro series saws use the same clutch covers, so I may swap on a non-PS cover from  a parts saw to make this one a tad lighter.  It has a 'lever' type chain tensioner, but the crankcase is machined for a conventional tensioning screw that I'll rob from the parts saw.

One interesting thing is that it has some sort of rim drive clutch drum.  Didn't have time to look closely at it today, so I don't yet know if it's a floating rim type or an integral rim type drum.  Rim didn't move when I poked the chain with my finger.........but the chain's pretty tight (a bit over-tensioned really) and may just be holding the rim still.  Will look closer.  Never seen any sort of rim sprocket on a Micro series saw before.  I have a couple 9 spline floating rim setups on my XXV series saws.
