What would make the oiler work one minute & then not work the next? I also have a 306A that leaks oil like a sieve.I'll address that saw at another time.

The pickup line could be a split in it, it's old and brittle

Do the more modern plastic fantastic saws belong here? I just added a 2150 to the pile it runs also added a wild thing blower into innovatory as a backup to my Stihl. Could not help myself at $30 each.

Ok poulan pros......pun totally intended lol, I took a quick look at my 4000 and found an orange duckbill down in the fuel tank. Thins is my first saw from this series so I thought I'd ask where it goes. I assume just through the top of the tank somewhere but it almost looks like it has a nipple. Probably just to seal on the tank but I'm thinking a piece of line with a vent would be good. I can see it getting clogged pretty quick without it.
Thanks in advance!

It goes on the vent hose. Ya poke it through and chuck the duck bill on the end then pull it back through. Well that's how mine are done anyway

 

[Todd Loosli]

Yes take a 3 inch piece of fuel line and cut a long taper on one end and the duckbill part on the other end and push the taper from the inside the tank and pull it till it stops. Tuck it back to the toggle switch along the tank.

That's about what I figured! Thanks a bunch!!

Pic shows before I pull tank vent up to top of inside tank on this 4000. Also fuel line at front of it.

I'm supposed to get an air filter for my 4000 I bought a while back. Should be here tomorrow. An awesome fella on here tipped me off that it was on feepay. Can't wait to run it.

My pleasure, Bob. Get that beast together, share pictures, and run it! I love a Poulan 4000! Well, and 5200/8500's! CAD is starting in again, and its getting worse as I get older! Max.

1979 3400 and 1987 craftsman 3800 score this week.No need in repair,they both run well.Replaced the fuel line on the 3800.Replaced nothing on the 1979. 40 bucks for the 3400 with a 16 inch bar and new chain.I almost feel guilty.

You should feel guilty, $40 for a new chain and bar with a free saw.
