Chainsaws not listed - Gas OPE / Re: Farmertec G255E Holzfforma 255
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 09, 2025, 09:46:47 am »Just so you know.
The Farmertec G255E easy start version does not work like the OEM 250 one.
It works just like the one on the 180 easy start etc.
Had a owner of one check for me.
It dont catch with short pulls and wind up like MS250 ES one. Has to be one long pull like 180 ES etc.

Echo / Re: Echo 3510
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 08, 2025, 03:29:41 pm »Update: Well off to either do another easy start saw.
Stihl rescue D handle made it nice for his hand. But the spring assist spring just stops him mid pull. Due to shoulder. On the echo 3510
So I got his easy start 180 and he could start it right up.
The stihl version is 100% easier to start.
So bringing it back home and going to sell it and get him another easy start for back up. 180 210 250.
It will have stock handle back on it by then.
He said he thinking a bigger battery saw but don’t want weight over the echo 3510 stihl 180.
Least now I know the difference for sure.
Spring assist don’t make it easy.
Like the system used in stihl.
I’m a believer in that system now seeing it side by side with him trying them in front of me.
Then I done both. No comparison.

Poulan / Re: Poulan S25 CVA Part question.
« Last post by grtpumpkin on December 07, 2025, 06:00:59 pm »I spent the day tearing the S25 down knowing the bearings are on the way. Picture confirms it's the exact same bearings. I measured the crankshaft journals and they measure out at excatly 9/16 (.562") no wear at all just slight discoloration where the bearing runs.The big end rod bearing has some up & down slop. I also ordered that bearing. I'm not sure about the piston. it has vertical scratches and had slight blow by all the way around. Cylinder looks pretty good. can see crosshatching everywhere but with some shiny spots. Cant feel anything. It's all very smooth.
Anyone know what or if the cylinder was plated back then? I confirmed this is a 1980 casting by the cast in number on the case. Any recommendations on a piston and rings? I haven't checked the ring end gap yet. Also noted the ring groove has no locater pins. Not sure how to clock them on reassembly.
Fun little project. See pics.
Well the pics suck as I had to shrink the file size to post. The number on the bearings are the same as in my earlier reply.

Poulan / Re: Poulan S25 CVA Part question.
« Last post by grtpumpkin on December 06, 2025, 07:24:52 am »Thanks. I saw those. But I don't want to replace bearings with used. I'm hoping to find a bearing number when I get it apart, and possibly source from a bearing supplier. I'm not confident I'll find a number on the bearings though. I gotta believe it's a standard size bearing. There's enough of these saws on ebay that are being parted out, one could actually build one from scratch if so inclined. Ive already scored some new old stock pieces I needed.

Poulan / Poulan S25 CVA Part question.
« Last post by grtpumpkin on December 05, 2025, 07:59:16 pm »Looking to overhaul and reseal a 1980 ish Poulan Super 25 counter vibe and having trouble sourcing the crankshaft needle bearings. The Husky # 530032021 is discontinued. Does anyone know the size and or a source for these bearings? This is a good running saw and if I cant find the bearings, I dont want to brick it. I see lots of parts for this on E bay except for crankshaft bearings.
Any help would be appreciated.
Rich.

Chainsaws not listed - Gas OPE / Farmertec G255E Holzfforma 255
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 05, 2025, 09:31:36 am »They have both versions. Regular recoil and easy start out.
I wonder if the China clone version Farmertec G255E of the 250 easy start works like OEM 250 or like the 180 easy start.
So far has told me easy pulling out. But I ask him to test pulling a inch or 2 at a time to see if it winds up like oem 250.
