Post by: Eccentric on September 24, 2015, 03:47:45 pm: Yep. They're the only 'shell encased' top handle saws that I like. Definitely a favorite of mine. My only gripe is the NLA oiler check valve assembly. It's not made to be serviceable, so some drastic/creative measures must be taken to repair them ifya cannot find a reasonably priced replacement.

Post by: leec on September 24, 2015, 01:12:44 pm: Got the spool off Fleebay and all is well. Another nice home owners saw for sale. I must say I have a liking for these older Poulan 2300s ;D

Show me what he needs and if I have it he can have it.
Hi Cut,

You wouldn't happen to have a recoil spool for a 2300cva would you?

Thanks,

Lee

Just so I am thinking same as you. Part number 14? Spring? 530042023

Just trying to be sure or we talking 13 pulley? 530069288

I think I can say yes to both. Thinking the 2000 use the same ones.

I might as well mail him the idle adjust screw and spring Kevin as Lee is only a few hours north of me.
I'll let him answer for the bar nut. It should be easy enough to get locally.
Super, thanks Tim they arrived today. Just need the spool now.

I do have a question CRV? Pic?
You are right, 2300cva might be closer. CVA is a HONDA crossover I think!

In fooling with the bar nut the bar bolt came out of the saw. What is the best way to put in back in so it won't unscrew, thread sealer?

Many thanks Tim. I was surprised that none of my bar nuts would go on more than 3/16 of an inch, even the other Poulan ones. As I work at the Depot I should be able to find the right nut and washer.

Thanks guys, got to love these forums.

I didnt know if it was that special looking bar nut like on some of the older xxv.

Post by: fossil on August 07, 2015, 05:33:40 pm: Hi Lee,

The bar nut is a standard 5/16-18 flange nut. If you can't find a flange nut a 5/16"-18 (Home Depot) with a thin washer works fine.

I have the idle speed adjust screw and spring which I will mail to you.

I think I have the address.

Tim
Title: 2300CVA
Post by: leec on August 07, 2015, 04:12:45 pm: I'm working on one of these older Craftsman/Poulan saw and it seems that none of my spare bar nuts will fit. Is there a special nut for this saw? It's also missing the small screw that regulates the idle, otherwise seems pretty good shape. I have two of these both with the chain brake as I'm in Canada. One yellow and one grey both with AV.
