Poulan oiler

[HUSKYMAN]

Hey guys, I just finished resurrecting an old Poulan XXV, at least 25 years old, the only problem is the oiler is not working. I have not started looking into it yet, but is anyone familiar with the XXV oiling system? Is there a screen on it?

I have owned or used several variations of the Poulan Super25, it was my 1st climbing saw. The oilers were a weak spot on them. Does the manual oiler still work? If so, then it could be the oiler pump itself. It is next to the sprocket, about the size of a nickel. 2 screws and it's out.

I dont think it has a manual oiler, unless that is the black button on top??I thought that was for starting the saw and holding partial throttle!!!

The black button on top of the front handle is an oiler button. It pushes a metal rod down into the oiler pump case to manually force extra oil. Most of the ones I had, the auto oiler quit and I only had the manual pump. But that was many years ago, before I knew how remove and inspect the oiler pump and fix it. Wish I could tell ya what the inside if it looks like, but I can't. Might be a bad diaphram or something. If it is that old, I'd put fresh fuel and oil lines on it too.
