My 2800 has the side exhaust also, never thought of flipping the diffuser before, may look into that when I start messing with it again.

I drill both sides of the diffuser open with several holes.

Got out some girls today for start and run, cut and split a bit in the cool temps . The 245 was on it today . I think the sleeper is the Craftsman 3000. Ill give an honorable mention to the pp 325 but its a bit low on compression .
How does the piped saw run?

Nice collection! Good looking group of "girls"! Your 245 saw and bar combination look very nice. Great decision to cut and split today, and I'm glad your weather was good. I'm in Richmond VA and had it not been for the rain, I'd have done the same. Max.

Thank you sir , I'm about two split hours away from zero on the ground . Then an ash tree dead standing next saturday. The ash beetle is killing all these midwest giants . A 48" town tree isnt uncomon . Such a waste.
Rebuilding micro xxv. During pressure testing of the case i have bubbles from the chain oiler. I have an idea what causes this but would like to hear what you think Thanks much
You can unscrew the check valve under the clutch & plug the direct shot impulse hole to the crankcase to stop the air leak.
Should not have air leaks into the oil tank nor out of the ‘chain oiler’ after that.
Otherwise the case seam gasket is leaking..."I have a potty mouth"!

Here is a rebadged Poulan. Runs pretty well. Can’t believe how loud the thing is!!!
Is that clutch cover purple, like an early model wild thing.

Not quite sure how the impulse would pump oil if i plug the hole
Thought you were leak testing the crankcase only...Of course you have to pull the stopper out after testing.
Todd has made up “serviceable” 69142 check valves if you find the oiler duckbill has melted to a pile of goo on that saw.
Yes to leak testing crankcase. I tried one of todds valves and it still leaks there. Does that mean leak in crankcase seam? Saw in my sm that there is no gasket. Guessing moto seal
Valve can’t be in there while pressure testing, crankcase hole needs to be plugged off. Then yup can tell if it’s the seam leaking.
No CC gasket used, motoseal only like the 3400 series...

What do you plug it with? Is the direct shot impulse hole the small hole perpendiclar to the thread leading to the front of the saw or is it the entire threaded shaft?
I used a silicone rubber stopper from a Caplugs kit assortment & stuffed it into the big threaded hole. That also sealed off the little air hole.
Pulled it back out with needlenose pliers. If it goes too far & falls into the tank, you can retrieve it out of the oil filler hole or pull the pump’s sheet metal cover off to get it.
The small perpendicular air hole is what pressurized the oil tank, but you can’t plug it & get the check valve screwed back in. At least I couldn't figure out how...

Thanks muchly. You a huge help. Im beholden to ya
If you want to see that hole from the inside, there’s a grubby XXV separated case on fleabay as item 132471092457.
It shows both sides of that threaded check valve hole in pics 4 & 5. About the only thing fleabay is good for anymore...lol
