Poulan Micro

Aaron asked me to post this over here. I bought this in an
on-line auction. I will be picking it up on Sunday. I have no
idea whether it's pooched or not but if so, it will make a nice
shelf queen. Here are the pics from the auction site.

They aren't bad for what they are .Danged fuel lines go bad on
them .I think I wrenched on two about like that last summer
.Both bad lines .

That really is a cherry Micro-CVA. Look at that bar stencil.
Same 2.0ci/33cc engine as what's in a Poulan 2000.
Unless they straight gassed it, that saw's probably mint inside.
Looks like it spent the last 30 + years in its case. My guess
is that fuel lines and a carb kit (and possibly crank seals)
will be all it needs. Maybe a fuel cap if the check valve has
melted. The updated cap is available from Husky for about $5.
They used it on the 23 chainsaw as well as some trimmers and
blowers (all made by Poulan).
Crank seals take 30 minutes or less to change both sides.
Really easy. 530019059 is the crank seal #. Also available
cheap from Poulan/Husky parts outlets. Takes about 27 feet (or
so it seems) of 3/22" ID fuel line. Hopefully the oiler check
valve will be pristine. That's just about the only part on a
Micro thats NLA...

I wouldn't be surprised if the recoil side decal fell off and is
in the bottom of that case.8)
I have a Canadian friend who sent me a pic of one just like that
last year. He said he's seen a few of them over the years.
IIRC, the recoil side decal has both English and French on it...

Wow Tim that is a really neat looking saw. I think it is
really neat that you are able to find these and post them here
on the forum, other wise we may never see them here in the
States. You have some very unique Poulans up north of the
border.
If it is based on the Poulan 2000 then parts are cheap and
should be plenty around. I actually took my 2000 apart and got
rid of the base gasket, opened the ports a little, and muffler
modded it. Neat little saw.

Al that is really interesting. The only small Poulan tophandle
that I've seen any mention of .325 pitch chain on was a Canadian
version of a Poulan S25-CVA (different series than the Micros
for those that don't already know) listed as a "2400" on Acres
site. A 2400 (Woodmaster) here in the US is a rear handle
version of a 2300 Micro. A 2100 Woodmaster is a rear handle
version of a 2000 Micro.

You can see in the pic that it has a "Super XXV-CVA Mini-Pro"
decal on the clutch cover (which has a chainbrake). The bar is
a Windsor Mini-Pro replaceable sprocket nose. I have one of
those bars, but with a 3/8-LP tip. Takes 57DL of LP. If I ever
find a .325 rim for the 9-spline drum on one of my S25-CVA's (so
far I've only found LP and 1/4 rims for it), I'll put a .325 tip
on that bar and see how the saw likes that pitch.

Tim if you ever find that above saw (the "Super XXV-CVA
Mini-Pro) I'll be VERY interested in it. I have put my Mini-Pro
bar on the 2.3PS/VL that you sent me. That saw has the 9-spline
3/8LP-6 rim drive setup on it. I have a chainbrake clutch cover
lined up for it that I'll repaint red so it will be a red
version of that phantom saw (minus the decal and the .325
hardware).

I'll keep an eye out for one. Most of what I see up here are
38cc Craftsman's and Canadian Tire branded ones like a 2300CVA
but all with chain brakes.
I do see the odd 25 come up but not many near me.
