What’s the going rate for a running/useable Poulan 5200 these days? Not much of a Poulan guy but I have a thing for full wrap handlebar and 80cc+ saws. There’s one here local for $90

20200130_192645.jpg Dug into the 3400 that the auto oil didn't work on. I should have taken a photo when I removed the plate. Not a sign of any foam , but level full of oily sawdust. There was even sawdust in with the plunger. The diaphragm looked good. The plunger was stuck from setting so long , or from debris in dirty used engine oil. (Any used engine oil I add to my diesel fuel I run threw my centrifuge that I clean used cooking oil with. And I use all my used oil for fuel, most none rail Cummins allow 10% used oil in the fuel.)

When I removed the plate screws I broke them free of the green paint. It had never been apart before.

How does the foam look ? I have a thin piece under the manual wire on the top piece you see. There are pieces over both the vent holes of the plunger chamber. I thinks this is what I have read that you guys do to keep sawdust at bay.

Just ran the 3400 that I cleaned the oil pump on. It now auto oils like a champ! Lots

These are really very simple easy to work on saws.

Quote of Todd
"Doing good, some of them are not very clean, I had a 4000 that I found a beaver living in there had to destroy his home and felt bad for about a minute. True story"

I completely and Faithfully believe you, Mr Todd. Lol
