Poulan S25DA, is it worth getting running?

[Acornhill]

I posted this in the poulan thread, but for those following here this wouldn't have been possible without @Acornhill. After a new handle gasket, carb gasket, woodruff key, handle grip, thrust washer throttle wire boot, dust seal, air filter, and the dawgs, this thing looks good as new. Thankfully the automatic oiler didn't need work and is putting oil on the bar. Only things I need now are a new bar and chain, but that's the least of my worries. This thing popped right back to life and seems to want to stay in the fight for many years to come.

Really glad I found this site. It gave me the confidence I needed to get this running.

Just dress that bar up, clean the groove, de burr the edges and sharpen that chain, i would not bother with new bar /chain unless it is going to be a shelf queen and that saw wants to be a limber again.

I have a couple of Poulans and a Craftsman like yours, I may sell one of the Poulans this year but think I'll keep the other two.

I would probably replace the chain if the teeth are worn back, they cut a lot better with a fresh chain..

I just sold the exact saw to one of my friends for $35. The one I fixed up needed fuel line, filter, rebuild carb and oilier check valve. Started on 2nd pull when done. Almost kept it myself but already had one.
