    Question:
    I recently purchased a PoulanPro PP4218A chainsaw.What do I have?
    Details:

    Apparently no one at Poulan knows either.  Checking for parts nothing was listed for a PP4218A. A multitude for PP4218AV, AVX, AVL, AVX HD, etc. I phoned customer service as I wanted to be sure I was going to be getting the correct parts for my saw. I was told, "There is no 4218A". I spent considerable time on the phone, but finally spoke to a guy at Huskavarna.

    He also told me there was no PP4218A. The decal on the side of the saw says 4218A. The instruction manual says it's for the 4218A. The manual is dated 4-15-2012, so he said that that model might not be in the system yet. Really? The saw has the anti-vibration handle so I suppose it's also (could be?) a PP4218AV?

    So can anyone clue me in as to what I need to do, or what this saw model crosses to as I'd sure like to order some consumable parts like a clutch, air & fuel filters, etc.

    BTW, when I first gassed it up to use, after pressing the primer bulb it tried to start on the 2nd pull, and DID start on the 3rd pull. I only used it a bit more then 2 hours that day and it performed perfectly. The blow moulded case is pretty nice.
