I hate when I look at old chainsaws on Marketplace outside of florida. ya'll have so many more listed and generally better prices.

Pretty much the same here on the VA coast.

I'm purging fellas. If you need something, let me know....litter buckets have top covers, starters etc. I may keep the 5020 for now and try one more time with it. I actually like the feel of the saw, but patience is wearing in thin on it.

Hard to move that plastic saw stuff. GL

I keep a few runners in plastic for cheap local sells and parts. But dang cant even recall the last plastic saw I been able to sell ready to cut for 50 even.

Mag cased better poulan stuff moves so much better.

Exactly. I plan to clear most of it out and reclaim the space.

Hello all... I have an old 70's dayton 2z760 which is based on poulan 20d. I had to take it all apart because the lines were dust among other things. I have taken saws apart before but mostly worked on newer stuff. This is my first one of a couple old ones and these are more challenging. Don't even get me started on the uncaged roller bearings lol.
Issue: I have an idea where the fuel line goes but want to confirm. There is a hole at the top of the side of the case in the gas tank area. I assume it's filter then line and then it goes up through the hole and then is routed along the case to the carb?
Issue: Oil pump. I see how the manual over-ride works and where that goes. I understand the pump comes out of the side and has two little ports. What I don't get is - where does the line go? Is it just one? I see a little hole in the case for that as well. There was an end of sorts in the tank rolling around. I think that is the check valve but it doesn't look like the one on the IPL. The most baffling part - if there is a line - where on the pump does it go?

I'd be happy to watch a video on it or if there is another thread here to explain. I looked around and so far - no luck. I would just try it myself - but I am afraid that I will have to REDO all the gaskets again and split the case if I get it wrong. The fun here is getting it running and using it some and having fun learning. I know the saw probably isn't much. Thanks everyone.

It’s been over 15 years, but the oiler impulse line is a built up assembly in the oil tank, see page 10.
