Is a Poulan 33 the same engine as a homelite 33? I was warming my homelite up this morning, and it ingested something through the carb that was a little tougher than it was[:@]. Ruined the piston and liner. Wal mart has poulan 33s for $110, and I'm wondering if my conversion parts will work on it, or is it a totally different engine?

the carb will bolt straight on if it is a walbro carb and manufold and in other cases it will require a small intake manufold mod.
the prop hub might also go on nice because i think that the flywheel thread is a standardised thing.

One could always just buy it and take it apart and look. If it did not you would have a nice chain saw. Some of the new units have the ign part mounted to the saw and not the engine. Spend your money and find out. Does Poulan have a site to look at a diagram of parts for this unit?

What type of tool is it on? chainsaw?

Yes, Chainsaw

Does Husqvarna make Poulan chainsaws?

Thanks, mikenlapaz

It does appear to be the same engine.

Electrolux vacuum cleaner has bought many small engine companies.
Poulan, Husqvarna, Ryobi, Mac, and one or two more.

They tried to buy Stihl but they would not sell.
