Here is an IPL that covers the 32, 35, 38 cc models. I don't remember ever seeing any workshop manuals for these particular models.

Ignore the brochure at the end, that is a later Jenn Feng model with a vertical cylinder.

Figured it out, thanks for the schematic.
I’ve come to the conclusion this saw was designed to be disposable and never repaired.
 
I've repaired several, normally consists of replacing the fuel lines, purge bulb, and the oil line from the tank to the pump. They are not powerful saws but I find them to be a good choice for the casual, occasional use customer. The oil pumps do not last long if you use thick oil in cold weather and those parts seem to be getting scarce. Fairly easy to work on once you learn the procedure.

Some are more interesting than others.

I bought my 1st PM55 almost 1 1/2 yrs.ago & used it extensively last yr,never had a problem.A bout a week ago it started giving me problems.It had a spur sprocket on the clutch drum,so I opted to change it to a rim drive.I took it out last week for some action & noticed a dinging noise in the clutch drum when I'd pull it over.This told me from previous experiences that the FW nut was loose.Today I pulled the recoil off & the FW nut was about ready to fall off.I never pulled the FW because it had good spark when I got it.What would cause the nut to just loosen up like that?

That was the issue…all fuel lines cracked or severed. having never worked on one I didn’t know and couldn’t see how or where the lines attached to the tank so nearly disassembled the thing to find out. Now I know, lol.
the bar had never been flipped so was extremely worn on one side…dressed it to the max and it will function but should be replaced.
Next one will take 10 min now that I know how the fuel lines run :p
my friend is quite happy 😁
how do you get the motor out of the case? I couldn’t figure that out And decided to fix the fuel lines and see if it would run. Piston was carboned and there were brown stains in the cyl.
