You could replace the oiler. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Poulan-Poulan-Pro-Oil-Pump-Kit-530071891_W0QQitemZ330406397464QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Chainsaws?hash=item4cedc18618

most likely oil filter is clogged. Empty the oil tank, then make a hooked wire & reach down inside the oil tank & pull the hose out with the filter on the end of it. Pull the filter off & check to see if oil comes out the oiler hole (after taking bar & chain off & running the saw). If still no oil, plastic gears are chewed up. Should be a cheap fix & easy to do.

Go to your locoal poulan dealer get part 530071259 oiler kit about $9.00 pump has plastic gears that strip out 10 min fix.

Larry:

If you do this and if you have digital camera would you make a photo-trail for me. I need to do the same thing with a Poulan saw --- I investigated this about one year ago and gave up --- couldn"t figure out the repair.

Thanks

Thanks , Larry.

Been away from office and NHS in boonies where I live.

I got bogged down with this ,as I said , last year. Search archives under "Poulan 2150" and you will see the great advice I got but couldn't act on due to my novice skills.
