This is my first post to this forum.  I have been on TBN for a short while and have really enjoyed it.

In following this thread I realized I have two of those Poulan Micro XXV's.  One is actually a red Craftsman, but the two saws are nearly completely identical in every way. 

Have been switching parts back and forth between the two saws for years and always had one running.  A couple years ago I acquired several newer saws so the little Poulan/Craftsman are sitting on the shelf.  They both have common weakness, at least that I have found.

The automatic oiler system using an engine case pressure chamber and a foam cover/filter to regulate the oil flow rate was always fairly phony, but it got me by as long as I kept the foam in shape.

They both have been subject to developing fuel line leaks and on a couple of occasions I actually found pin holes in the long plastic line that goes from the fuel tank up through the handle to the carb. 

Over the long haul they seemed to require carb adjustments to maintain a good idle combined with strong uptake on throttling up.

For their age, they are great little saws.  After seeing this post I am going to attempt to get them both up and running before the end of winter.

This has been a very good reminder of some forgotten goodies.

Nick, North West farmer
