Vintage Poulan 5500 Chainsaw W/20” Bar & Chain.
I purchased this from an estate auction so don’t know the history on it. I tested and it has good spark. I put some fresh gas/oil mix in it but was not able to start it. I then put a little gas directly in the spark plug hole and it fired up right away. Once it ran out of that gas it quit though. So I’m guessing it has a carb/fuel delivery related issue. Chainsaw shows wear from use. Looks like the prior owner wrote their name in... permanent marker on top of the saw. The chain case has some damage and also a crack in one spot (see pics). Saw has some grime from use. The chain may need sharpening but looks like it has good tooth left. Very cool, vintage hard to find saw! Ships quick! Thanks for looking.
