How many cc's is a Poulan P3314?
The Poulan P3314 chainsaw uses a 33cc 2-cycle gas engine. This model is commonly paired with a 14-inch guide bar and matching chain; we recommend confirming the exact bar and chain combination in the P3314 owner's manual before buying replacements.
Quick specs that matter
- Engine displacement: 33cc
- Engine type: 2-cycle (gas/oil mix required)
- Common guide bar length for P3314: 14 in.
- Use only bar and chain combinations listed for the model to help meet kickback requirements
Bar and chain compatibility (from the manual)
The manual lists the following bar and chain part numbers for the P3314.
| Item | Manual-listed part number | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Guide bar | 952044368 | 14 in. |
| Chain | 952051209 | Fits 14 in. bar |
Related parts you may replace during tune-ups
If your P3314 is hard to start, runs rough, or won’t stay running, these parts are commonly involved:
- Air filter (dirty or restricted): engine air filter 530057925
- Fuel delivery issues (cracked or loose line): ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216
- Fuel tank sealing/venting problems: fuel cap assembly 580940901
Why it matters
Engine size (cc) helps you match the saw to the job and choose the right maintenance approach. On a 33cc 2-cycle saw like the Poulan P3314, correct fuel mix, clean air filtration, and proper bar and chain selection directly affect starting, cutting performance, and safe operation.

What is the gas mixture for a Poulan P3314 chainsaw?
For the Poulan P3314 chainsaw, we mix unleaded gasoline with a synthetic 2-cycle (air-cooled) engine oil at a 40:1 ratio. That equals 3.2 oz of 2-cycle oil per 1 gallon of gas; use fresh, properly mixed fuel for best starting and performance (see the P3314 owner's manual).
Quick mix chart (40:1)
| Gasoline amount | 2-cycle oil to add | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gallon | 3.2 oz | Common “one can” mix size |
| 1/2 gallon | 1.6 oz | Good for small jobs |
| 1 quart | 0.8 oz | Mix carefully for accuracy |
How we recommend mixing fuel
- Use a clean, approved fuel container (not the chainsaw tank) for mixing.
- Add the measured 2-cycle oil first, then add gasoline and cap the container.
- Shake well to fully blend before filling the fuel tank.
- Use synthetic 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines (not automotive or marine oil).
- If the saw will sit for 30 days or more, drain or run the fuel system dry to reduce fuel-system issues.
Related parts that can affect fueling and running
If the mix is correct but the saw still runs poorly, fuel delivery and air flow are the next places we check:
- Fuel cap assembly 580940901 (venting issues can restrict fuel flow)
- Ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216 (cracks or soft spots can cause leaks or air leaks)
- Mcculloch lawn & garden equipment engine air filter 530057925 (a clogged filter can make the engine run rich)
Why it matters
A 2-cycle engine depends on the fuel mix for lubrication. Too little oil can accelerate engine wear; too much oil can foul the spark plug and cause smoky running. Keeping the 40:1 ratio consistent helps the P3314 start easier, idle smoother, and cut with full power.

What does 33 mean on a chainsaw chain?
On a Poulan P3314 chainsaw, “33” on a chainsaw chain is typically a chain code that identifies the chain’s pitch and gauge (the two key sizing specs that must match your guide bar and sprocket). For the P3314, the manual lists a 14-inch bar and matching chain part numbers you can use as a safe reference point in sizing.
What “33” usually refers to
Many chain manufacturers use stamped codes to summarize sizing. In most cases, “33” is used to indicate a .325-inch pitch chain with a .050-inch gauge (often also shown as 1.3 mm gauge).
Use this quick check before you buy:
- Pitch must match the drive sprocket and bar nose sprocket
- Gauge must match the bar groove width
- Drive link count must match the bar length and bar mount pattern
P3314 bar and chain pairing (model-specific)
Your P3314 manual lists these compatible combinations:
| Item | Spec shown in manual | Sears PartsDirect part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Guide bar | 14-inch | 14 bar 140SDEA041 |
| Chain | Matching chain for 14-inch setup | Chain 91PX052G |
If your chain code “33” does not match the pitch and gauge required by your bar, the chain can fit poorly, derail, or oil incorrectly.
How to confirm the correct chain for your saw
We recommend verifying the chain specs using the bar stamping and the manual:
- Check the numbers stamped on the guide bar (pitch, gauge, and drive links)
- Match those to the chain package specs
- Confirm the approved bar and chain combinations in the P3314 owner’s manual
Why it matters
Correct pitch and gauge help the chain run straight, oil properly, and reduce the chance of kickback-related control issues. Your manual also emphasizes using recommended bar and chain combinations to meet kickback performance requirements.

What are the common problems with Poulan chainsaws?
On the Poulan P3314 gas chainsaw, the most common problems are fuel-related starting and running issues (stale fuel, restricted fuel flow, carburetor problems), plus bar-and-chain lubrication problems that overheat the bar and chain. We also see idle and clutch issues when the chain moves at idle.
Most common symptoms and what they usually point to
- Won’t start or starts then stalls: old fuel, clogged carburetor, cracked fuel line, restricted tank vent
- Runs rough or won’t idle: carburetor adjustment needed, air leak, dirty air filter
- Chain moves at idle: idle speed too high or clutch needs repair
- Smokes excessively: too much oil in the fuel mix
- Bar and chain run hot or smoke: oil tank low, oiler problem, wrong oil viscosity
Quick checks we recommend first (fast, high-impact)
- Use fresh, properly mixed fuel; old fuel can damage the fuel system during storage.
- Check bar-and-chain oil level and confirm oil is reaching the bar.
- Inspect wear items: air filter, spark plug, fuel lines, and caps.
- Verify the chain stops moving at idle; if not, address idle speed or clutch.
Parts that commonly solve these issues on the P3314
| Problem area | What fails most often | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel delivery | Fuel line cracks or hardens | Ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216 |
| Starting/running | Spark plug fouling | Spark plug 503235111 |
| Lubrication | Oiler not supplying enough oil | Chainsaw oil pump kit 530071891 |
Why it matters
Fuel and lubrication problems can turn into bigger repairs. The manual notes that lack of bar-and-chain oil can quickly ruin the bar and chain, and that alcohol-blended fuels can cause fuel-system damage during storage. Keeping the chain from moving at idle also helps prevent unsafe operation.
