It's not uncommon for the oil hose to split. You may have one in the hose towards the bottom.

Hi Tim.   I did not know that about the hose.   Good call.

I need to stop looking for saws  :P. #4 harder to fnd saws in 7 days or so.   :o

Seen ad for craftsman 3.7, figured the one I could care less about for myself.  Got a pic and I was like heck ya. The 60cc one I am into with 24" bar when new. 
I have only seen 3 and maybe heard of 4 total. I have owned 2 of the 3 I seen before.  Last one I sold was to a guy here that had been searching for one for 2 years. Told him I aint married to any saws. ;)
This one had wrong bar nuts and washers but no big deal.  Also still has the craftsman 24" labeled K041 mount 3/8 bar.

pics

Saw has Oregon 76 SL regular 3/8 chain with the small cutters.  76 on the drive links.  Oregon 76 series.

Not a fan of the SL but here is a pic of a new loop I had awhile back to show.

 Under the covers it looked new with little use. Cylinder on outside looked new. But the mix had the ole smell. So I dumped and kept checking, Pulled muffler and surprised to see scuffing started. Guessing he was  running old mix.
Was curious about psi and stopped pulling at 150psi. So will be pulling down for a piston kit for this saw and use the other one in my project fun builds. Will clean cylinder up and then ball hone crosshatching.

Anyone look at those aftermarket 60cc and 54cc pistons for these series yet?   Just wondering.
Will be using a NOS 60cc piston for this one.

That 3.7 craftsman is one I do not have.   Maybe find a deal on one some day and get it but in the mean time I have a ton of the Poulans.
