Do you happen to know the part number for the manual oiler push button for the 245A or have an extra one you want to sell?

Will do, thanks for the tip. Sending PM.
And make a template or cut a spare (or both) from tracing the good gasket first! But I wouldn't necessarily use a sealant if the gasket is still good. I'd give it a mild soak in some mix (then air dry it) to keep it from becoming brittle..., or consider using a better sealant designed for the purpose like Motoseal, Yamabond, Dirko, or even Indian Head sealant if the gasket requires sealing. That sorta needs to be assessed on an individual case basis. A 'no gasket' solution could possibly be RedKote if the gasket is shot, but is a bit pricey for just a one tank application.
However you go with it, that's one sweet 245A, my man. Congrats on the score.

Thanks for info and suggestions. I think the gasket is in pretty good shape, I put the lid back on last night but I can look again to make sure.
I'm really excited on the condition of this saw, just need to clean the carb and put some mix in it and see how she runs!
Those 306/245 cork tanks gaskets are still readily available, and I'd suggest replacing it. You can also use nitrile or Viton square cord "O-ring" stock from McMaster Carr. Cut it at an angle for a splice, and use a dab of Motoseal at the joint when you put the lid on. Don't use RTV, or other ""I have a potty mouth"" sealants for liquid gasoline.
Blk05crew, that is one nice 245. I have a spare used oiler push button I'll send you for just the shipping, PM your mailing specs & I'll mail it next week.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Also, I appreciate the offer on the button, that's very generous but I went to Saw Salvage's website and he had one for $3 bucks so I swooped that up. Should be here by
the weekend

Anyone I'd these for me? I think the throttle rods are 5200
They look like 4200/5200 to me.
That's like the DA25 I got going, has the original Poulan branded plug and still running it.

I don't know if this question has been asked before and it's kind of a broad question, but what is everyone's "favorite" Poulan saw. Whether it's to use, sentimental reason, or cause it's just plain cool.
And Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to everyone!

I like my Lil 2300 top handle, great trim saw but I also baby it. Was my late preacher's saw that was never used or cleaned much..

I was just wondering wear you found a piston for your 5200 as I am looking for one also?

Just wanted to share my Poulan progression, not entirely sure how it happened, but once I got my first one, I haven't looked back! I'm sure hanging around this
thread has had something to do with it
Started out in August with my first saw that I kind of pieced together, Stihl 038AV.
Then after a month or so I had added an 041 and a 015L.
And now they are all gone and my saws look like this.
(2) 3400's, 4200 project (not pictured) (2) 5200's and a 245A.
Not as many as some of you all, but I'm happy with the collection so far!
