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.
