Old Poulan XXV Micro Won't Oil The Chain

Where do I purchase a new duckbill? Mine was so far gone, I have no idea what it's supposed to look like.
Does anyone have pictures of a good one and a source for duckbills?

look on ebay for chainsaw duckbill, homelite one fits but you may have to drill hole a bit.

Here is a picture. If you get the screen off there is a brass bushing that holds the duck bill in the bolt housing. I cut down the side of bolt one eighth of an inch this allows the bushing to come out. The duckbill fits very nicely below this bushing I fashioned a replacement bushing from an eight inch aluminum pop rivet backer and gently tapped it in the hole to retain the duckbill. I will JB weld the screen back in top of fitting. I put the rivet backer on an eighth inch bolt with a nut to hold it in place. Then I put it in a drill chuck put the drill motor in the vice and selected reverse so the nut would not come loose when filing. Then used a file to work it down with the drill running locked to reverse. Trial and error produced a good interference fit.

When I repaired mine, I had a steel retainer not brass like others have had. What I did was file the crimp to remove the screen and holding the check valve in my vise, I put the short leg of a long allen wrench that fit in the retainer hole for leverage, and warmed the check valve with my propane torch. It didn't take much and the retainer popped right out.
Cleaned the ck valve up good, seated the new duckbill and using a dab of red Loctite, tapped the retainer back down. It has to seal tight or it won't hold pressure.
One thing I did learn though, is to apply the JB Weld to the edge of the ck valve first and press the screen down into it and leave it set. The more you mess with it the more the screen gets clogged. Becomes a PITA!

I got my duckbill valves from my local Husky shop for like $1.25 ea.
