That stuff can happen to anybody . I had two saws which gave me fits,an 042 Stihl and a 2800 Poulan. I'm almost embarrassed to tell the reason .I had installed both metering diaphragms upside down . A double dumb azz attack I guess .Chit just happens .

Say I just had another thought .Remove the little 90 degree elbow which goes from the "inteli carb "deal to the air filter box and see what that does . If that works stick a piece of duct tape over the hole and run-er for old glory .:|:

There might be the remote possibility that the fuel line is cracked within the tank .If it gets tipped it looses suction for a sec . In other news mine runs like a scalded ape but because it's ported with a well opened up muffler when I run it hard and it comes back to idle it loads up and dies...

Never saw one myself .Fact is the only Oleomac I've ever seen was Gypo's 999 .

I might give it a shot later on today . I'm going to start doing my freaking income tax as soon as I talk myself into it . I can only take a few hours of it though at a stretch . :( You couldn't pay me enough to do Texas Jims job .I just ain't the one .

Oh I suppose I could roll that little piece of junk over backwards with an impact to test the spark .It should fire in either direction if it fires at all . You could most likely make that Poulan run 12 thou or so if you bumped the timing .However it might be a little bear to get started . I...

Now you talk about a throw away ,this is one .That little POS has no way to test the spark .You have to remove the starter cover to get to the spark plug .Then how pray tell does one turn it over ?:what:

Mine has a little 12" Stihl lightweight [ .044 gauge ]on it at the present time .The bar was one of Toms that got bent and I must spent an hour straightening it out . No easy chore I assure you to get it straight once again . I have lighter saws but none that has the balance of this little gem...

I just might get out that frustrating little rascal today and get serious about it .Some times I get so annoyed with those damned things I just have to walk away from them before I stomp them to death .That would solve nothing but to injure my foot .:lol:

I've got one in the shed about like that with a Skil name on it . I didn't know it was a Partner . One of those "fix it when you have time" things that was dropped off . I haven't gotten too enthusiastic about wrenching it . It would putt a bit with a prime .Rebuilt the carb now it won't do a...

I think but am not quit sure but a few years ago I worked on an orange baby Stihl .Seems it was either an 09 maybe 010 . The danged thing had a wire controled throttle and a little reed right under the carb about the size of a nickle . I think the IPL called it a membrane or something like that...

I wouldn't necessarily call an 011 useless . I've got one in the shed .It isn't an oak slayer but not a bad little trim the apple tree in the back yard type . That one little red saw does look like a little Homey XL 2 .

The two on the end appear to be an MS 200T and an 011 .I have not a clue what all those red ones are .

I've got a little red Craftsman/Poulan almost like the one in the bottom picture except it has thumb oiler as well as the pressure oiler . Not really a bad little saw except it has a fixed main jet carb .The thing is light as a feather . That one I can one hand while it's a little tough any...

I'm tellin you they ran just dandy maybe the first year out of the box but it was down hill after that . They were so cheap that what few tree trimmers that used either the little Homeys or mini Macs just shelved them when they acted up because the price to repair them almost exceeded the value...

Funny,I've never seen a Poulan larger than 46 cc .I know they made larger and some say they were pretty good saws for the time period . This area has just always been Homelite and McCulloch back in the day and Stihl now of days .Others just didn't make it .

Those itty little Homelite XL ,Xl 2 and super would scoot right along when they were new .The don't age well though .They have some type of duckbill valve or something for the oilers that gives up the ghost . TSC sold those little things for 89 bucks on sale . People give those and the mini...

We had one of those 2 cube Pioneers plus my S-25 in the mountains of Colorado to cut campfire wood with .Of course being over 10 thousand feet they had to be retuned but ran surprisingly well .The comical part was that both saws boiled the gas in the tanks .I never figured out why .:?

The very first saw I ever owned was that orange s25 Poulan .I charged it on the card ,$139.95 . It two days I had made my money back cutting firewood .Fact is that little thing was all I had for several years and it has paid for itself many times over. Poor people just have to do poor peoples...

The last two are more modern .Huskey 335 and Stihl 011 . The 011 is not a top handle but still some how found its' way into the tree tops because of it's light weight . Mercy I've found myself inundated with little saw lately .They must multiply or something .
