I'm not to sure if they did , I've seen a omc gas powered water pump. Go on this site and check with some of the guys on it , They know alot about old saws . There are some colectors that hang on there , It's where I find alot of my saw parts. http://www.ArboristSite.com/

Poulans Chain Saws was own by OMC Along with Lawnboy. They had the service school in Waukegan at the Johnson Plant when I was in school there in 1975. They even had dynos to test run them. I should dig up the pictures I took in side the school.

We used to sell them at
a dealer I worked for in 1976. We only sold them because they were made by OMC. I think they got a deal on them along with the Lawnboy mowers we sold too.
