    Fuel Tank Capacity and Oil/Gas Ratio for Old Poulan

    Modifiedmark Actually that's exactly what I was thinking of doing. I have a fairly large capacity graduated plastic syringe I will use for the oil. I plan to (almost) fill up the chainsaw tank with gas, add the proper amount of oil, shake it all up, and start cutting. I won't use this saw...

    Fuel Tank Capacity and Oil/Gas Ratio for Old Poulan

    When All Else Fails..... ....Read the label!! The starting instruction decal on the engine says to add a half-pint of 2-cycle oil to a gallon of gas. That works out to 16:1. So, yes, this is old school. But you guys are saying I can use the newer synthetic stuff at a 40:1 ratio and not burn...

    Fuel Tank Capacity and Oil/Gas Ratio for Old Poulan

    I recently purchased and fixed up a Craftsman-branded Poulan chainsaw. It's a 2.0 cubic inch saw with a 16" blade. The Craftsman model number is 358.355051. I believe this saw was made in the late 80's. I don't have a manual and haven't yet been able to find one. I'm wondering if someone...

    Old Poulan Oiler Problems

    Oiler Fixed!! OK, so I got my new OEM tank pressurization check valve from eBay and installed it. I fired up the power head and for the first time I see oil flowing from the oiler port. As others have commented, oil also continues to flow after you shut the saw off. But opening the oil fill...

    Old Poulan Oiler Problems

    Now We're Getting Somewhere! Man, I wish I had found this site several weeks earlier--it would have saved me a lot time figuring out the operation of the oiler. You guys are great. I searched as jammin_with_j suggested and found two pages from the factory service manual that explain in detail...

    Old Poulan Oiler Problems

    I recently purchased ($20) a ~25 year old Craftsman-branded Poulan chainsaw, model number 358.355051. It’s a 2.0 cubic inch 16 inch saw. I rebuilt the carburetor and the engine now runs fine. The chain was on backwards so I fixed that. The oiler doesn’t work, unless you call oiling the bench...
