I have a Poulan 2500 Farmhand saw torn down for a piston replacement and I was hoping to replace the seals and bearings also. My problem is that I can’t seem to figure out how to get the bearing and seal removed from the oil pump side of the shaft. The gear that drives the oil pump seems to be...

Thanks so much, Modified! My neighbor is jumping for joy! He has had this saw for many years and hasn’t been able to get it to run right for a long time. After your reply, I located the old duckbill and barb stuck in the bottom rear of tank. I was able to replace the missing fuel line and...

Can anyone help me with fuel line routing on the 365? I know that the back tank hole is for the vent and I think the front hole is carburetor inlet but not sure where the line from the right rear of the carburetor goes? Maybe pulse line?

Thanks everyone! I finally got the carburetor kit installed and got the saw back together and she fired right up and runs like a champ! There is a local arborist that I have done some work for and has purchased some old Pro Macs from me. He saw the pictures of the old Monkey Ward saw and was...

Thanks, Patrick! I have read other accounts of this same problem of vapor locking with these designs. I don’t plan to do much cutting with it but I do want to hear it run and maybe cut a disc or two with it. There is a young guy that lives nearby that does lots of arborist work and he has...

Thanks Farmer Steve. I pulled the carburetor today but haven’t opened it up yet. It’s a Tillotson HS-108B and looks like the kit is RK-23HS. I ordered a kit and can’t wait to see how this old Monkey Ward growls!

Thanks, Rarefish and thanks for the welcome! I’ve been a lurker for some time and registered for awhile but thought I should jump in and say thanks to everyone who takes time to share their knowledge and experience with rookies like me! I am a retired machinist and out of boredom, a few years...

Thanks, Harley T! This one looks like it may be the model!

Thanks, Farmer Steve! Your saw is much nicer! I plan to clean the carburetor on this one and try to find a kit for it. What mix do you recommend to run in these? I don’t plan to keep it or cut any wood with it but I do want to get it running good! I will go back and check out the Acres site again.

Thanks, Usage and Attitude for the warm welcome and help. I went out to the shop and took some pics and uploaded them to the original thread. Maybe someone has seen something like this before!

I just uploaded some pics and added them to the original thread. I will probably pull the carburetor tomorrow and clean it and try to find a kit for it. I have an ultrasonic cleaner that I can run it through for a cycle or two. I can see that it’s a Tillotson carb, maybe #3?

Thanks, Patrick. I just posted some pics and maybe someone has seen something like this beast!

Thanks, Addicted! I just added some pictures. It says Lightweight 65cc on the starter cover.

I was given an old orange Montgomery Ward chainsaw and I was wondering if someone could help id it. It’s in rough shape but after a little tinkering I got it to bust off and run a few seconds after squirting some fuel mix through the he carburetor. The badges and decals are mostly long gone...
