Kevin, I appreciate the answer to my quesion. However in the meantime I ordered several consumeable parts (air filer, fuel filter, clutch, etc) based upon what I had 'Guessed' it might be. Happily the parts are the same as what is on the saw. I had 2 Mac Cullough 12" saws that I used for YEARS (don't need huge saws for citrus) . My parents & grand parents owned citrus groves in So.Californina since 1853 and I used those 2 saws (ran one till it ran out of gas, and then ran the 2nd ) . Every 2 tanks I'd sweeten the chain and hit it again. Keep the chain sharp and those 2 small 'Homeowner' type saws cut a hellacious amount of wood..
This 18" Poulan is twice the saw but they (Poulan) don't know cra*p and can't tell you a thing. Either that or they don't care, and simply cant be bothered. I figured the saw was probably made in China and they (Poulan Pros {whatta joke}) didn't know squat, so why embarrass themselves with an idiotic answer..In any event I certainly apprciate your taking the time to respond to my question. It's obvious that you'd be an idiot to hold your breath waiting for a response from the nudge's who are suposed to be in the know. Customer service and support by the manufacturer is pretty much dead. I get better results from Harbor Freight.

Well Mike, I guess you and I own the only 2 of these saws Poulan produced :-) However I decided, 'What the heck' and ordered some spare air cleaners, fuel filters, a bar, fuel and oil caps for a PP4218AV. They all fit as I suspected they might. I figured I might die of old age before I got an answer. I spent considerable time on the phone trying to get ahold of ANYONE at Poulan, who might have an answer. If anyone ever does come up with a phone number that really reaches a human being at Poulan .................... ah well, never mind.
