Chainsaw Repair

Checked my CVA saws (two red and one green plus a few green parts saws) and they didn't have "oil" cast into the handle (despite all having manual oilers).  Just got out of the shower after coming home from the work day at the park.  Didn't run my S25-CVA (just my 181SE and 288XP).

Haven't cross reff'd the part numbers from that Sears IPL yet.  If it's bridged, it should be 2.3ci unless I am mistaken.  Yeah the older XXV series saws often have Tillotson HU's instead of Walbro WA/WT carbs.  I like that little Tilly.  Got a few XXV's with the HU.  Most of my saws in this series have the Walbros however.  They work fine too...

Did you check the oil pump to see if it had a manual plunger section?  Could still be that somebody had the saw apart and omitted the pushrod for whatever reason........or it could be an auto only variant.  Sears sold about a zillion different XXV series variants....
