I just put fuel line-carb kit-clean points and flywheel magnets on a super 25DA Poulan. 1/4 chain-small. Found at an estate sale in beat up carry case with a file and bar oil about 1/8 inch deep. Had 3 repair tags from old downtown saw shop around in the early 1960's when I was a child. 1 repair was replaced pull rope . Another for will not start. Could not read #3. Real nice saw with killer compression--cast muffler-piston like new------5 bucks. I just saw climber rings on ebay but kinda pricey --may have to put one on it--cool history.Runs good
 
Hey kensie don't you have a homelite xl 700. Have you taken out the elbow fitting at gas tank. Also my tank has some kind of rubber liner/sealer in it that has broken loose in spots. What does yours look like on inside and any trouble removing elbow. I also had a loose rectangle of felt 1/4 thick in carb box. can't see where it goes by parts list--David

I am currently in the processes of re doing my fuel tank as well. There is some similar coating on the interior or my tank also, same with the C-5. Not sure what it is or if it will come out, I plan on filling it with carb cleaner and dropping some ball bearings down in there and shaking it around and seeing if it will come out. As for the elbow fitting, lay the saw in its side and spray you some PB blaster on it and level the saw up so it will soak in, after awhile go back and put a pretty good sized crescent wrench on it, that's how I got mine out, I had to bow up on it pretty good to get it to break free. Now as for that piece in the carb box, I will have to take a look this evening when I get home from work, post a picture of it.
 
10-4 Its almost like clear silicone gasket material.Yeah I had already had the PB on it and had put it to the side.Still on vacation here.Going to put carb kit in xl 700.Ready to get it going-77cc's and got a 18 inch bar stock.Want to put a longer one on it.Lets keep in touch about tips on this project-my 1st 700---David:drinkingcoffee:

I think they are awesome saws too. I have a Craftsman 2.3 (made by Poulan). For only being around 40cc it always seems like it has more cc's than it does. I can easily see how people loved them for climbing saws.

Unfortunately for mine it needs a lot more work, I have to re coat the fuel tank so it won't leak, it also has no spark so I will have to clean the points and if that doesn't work, Hello Nova II ignition module lol

Good luck on the spark. As I have learned on a old boat motor, points are a joy to work on. Really wish I could just buy a electronic ignition module for it, that way it might actually work correctly.

Ignition systems really trip me out, I know absolutely nothing about ignition systems, at least with mechanical issues you can visually see and hear the problems but with the ignitions, all the wiring and coils are covered so you can't visually see if there is anything wrong.

If you think standard ignition systems trip you out, research maverick spark
