Hello, i bought a Poluan S25DA on Ebay about a month ago. (60$, does that sound reasonable) i did some research and found out this model was made in the early to mid '70s, that surprised me because mine is in pretty good condition, i guess it hasn't been used much. anyway, today i noticed the chain oiler was not providing oil to the chain, even though the oil resivoir was full. after pumping the oil button for 5 minutes, i figured there was a wood chip or something clogging the tube that takes the oil out of the resivoir, so i began looking for what bolts to unscrew to get inside the oil resivoir, to clean it out. two hours and half the saw in pieces later, i hadn't found how to get to the oil resivoir. i put the whole thing back togather. what i'm a little worried about, is that the saw started for a second and died afterward, and would not start again, i think this may be because the gasket between the carburator and engine block came apart, although i tightened the piece that the carburator sits on pretty well, or maybe i screwed something else up. does anyone know how to get to the oil resivoir? also, is the manual for this saw available online or elsewhere? i'm going to work on it some more tomorrow, i'm determined to get this fixed, since i've gotten kind of attached to this saw.
Thanks
