I was given this 2.3 today as payment for fixing a trimmer. Was told the saw runs but doesn't oil. Got home pressed the oiler about 25 times and it started to oil. The more I worked it the better it got. Can someone tell me when the stopped making the saws with manual oiler. This saw was Gona donate its P/C to my 2300 but now that the oiler works I'm just Gona run it.

Needs a shorter bar so it will cut better.

So you know James, that Craftsman is a model 25 and parts won't interchange with your 2300 Micro. the Craftsman also has an auto diaphragm oiler as well as a manual oiler. The diaphragms of many have gone bad over the years and won't work. There's a thread on here somewhere showing how to rebuild those diaphragms if you aren't able to find one. I think @hotshot posted it. The Micros never did have a manual oiler and the 25 variants all did as far as I can tell.
I have worked on this for original owner in past. I told them if you ever want to get rid of it I want it even if not working.
Well that day come Tues. They said it was locked up and not working. Fixed Wed and tested out today.
They bought a gas saw for use now.
Has working chain brake and instant off if tripped and no coasting either. The spur locks up like right now too.
Auto oiler work great etc too.
Going to be my inside saw for the shop barn.

Thank you for the info sir. I did fuel lines and carb kit on a 2.0 about 2 years ago for a co worker. Since then iv picked up a 3400,2300, and that 2.3. I have a lot to learn about these older saws but I'm working on it.
I've been wanting a 25CVA for sometime but around here they either go for more than I want to spend or are too far away. I have a line on a Craftsman like yours except this one has anti vibe on it. The seller seems odd so it may fall through. I hope to get it this weekend.
The older Poulans have a good following and are great machines. My first one was a 3400.
Well I got my crank seals ordered finally, guy said direct ship from National, showed only 147 seals left in their inventory, seal number 253747.

Those are the ones I use. Seem to work great, though I did take a tip from ModifiedMark to champher the sides of the case boss before installing. Makes it easier not to get hung up.
Thats what i was gonna do also. I remembered Mark's tip.
I have 2. one red, nice shape, runs, no av. one green, av, nr, fires w/squirt, looks used, but still decent. offers/trades?
I gave the red cva to a friend that owned one when he first started his tree company. Traded a blue and green no av for some rear handle newer plastic saws. Still have the wiz cva project and a yellow 2.1 runner (need outer cast muffler cover). Will trade or go cheap. No longer into series. If interested Tim or others.
Unfortunately USPS shipping costs to Canada have pretty much made buying anything larger out of the US impossible. The shipping across Canada isn't much better.
Thanks for the thought though guys.
Just ship it to someone that lives near the border where there ain't no fence and have him drop it off and just walk over and pick it up.

The water separating the border stretches about 1,000 miles either side of me.
Well, looks like a long fishing trip. [emoji38]

Well, got a bow bar coming for my 3700 build. Does any one know or have specs for the upper and lower guards, gonna have to make a set out of aluminum square tubing to be safer. Dad never ran his homie super xl12 auto without them and I feel the same way.

Can I use poulan 4000, cylinder, carburetor, top cover and muffler on a 3400 or 3800? I picked up a 4000 that got pretty smashed at the scrap yard. I believe the cylinder, carburetor, top cover, air filter cover, crankcase and gas tank survived. The wrap handle, flywheel, pull start, clutch cover and rear handle did not survive.
