Picked up a used Poulan 2150 16 Inch chain saw. Anyone know these? What is the blue pullout lever?

Hello

I picked this up used for $20 it is the light green color. Is that a good deal?
Sears has them for $152

Is the orange color Poulan Pro the new model?

What does the blue pullout lever do?

I put 2 cycle gas that I mixed and some bar chain oil in it and it started right up!

Just like the one in this video

The blue lever is the choke. You can get the owner's manual online and read how to use it.
 
Thanks Dan

Is it a good saw?

Don
 
For $20 it's a good saw. For $152, I'd save my pennies for a better saw.
 
I have one. its a fine chainsaw. I put a 14 inch bar on it.
 
Blue lever is Choke. I had one a few years back... Not a bad saw. But moved up the steps to a bigger Saw. Bought a new 460 a couple weeks ago and I went with my BIL and picked up his new 562 XP. Sweet saw..

For what your gonna use that saw for? It should do just fine. Keep it filled with oil and a good pre-mix. Also a sharp chain and you will be good to go Don.

It has a 25" bar on it now. I ordered a 32" yestersay, w/ Full Chisel Skip tooth chain. Its not the Best (in my eyes it is), but Stihl makes 2 larger saws. The 660 and 880. Mine is plenty big enough for what I do. One day I will own a larger saw for milling. But that is yrs away..

What kind of project are you using the Poulan on? See ya Don
 
for 20 bucks I'd say you stole that saw! That will be a great limb bucking, cleanup saw. you didn't go wrong on buying it for that price.
