I have the above mentioned model in a craftsman saw. The closest thing that I could find was the poulan model 1800. The saw runs great, and the blade gets plenty of oil. The problem is that it puts out way too much oil, and when the saw is shut off, it keeps pissing oil out, so much so, that if i leave it sit for a week or so, the entire contents of the oil tank, will be sitting in the bottom of the case. I have replaced the gaskets on the opening on the opposite end of the oil filler cap. I need to fix the auto oiler somehow. It looks like a piece of tubing, and the opening in the tubing just leaks oil constantly well after it stops running....please help me. I totally rebuilt this saw and have almost $100 into it in parts and several hours in time. I love the saw, but hate the oil leak. Thanks in advance for the help!!!
Loosten the oil filler cap before putting it away. The tank is pressurized to force oil to the chain. Relieve the pressure before storing. Lou

Hate to say it, mine does the same thing. I have resorted to emptying it at the end of use, and storing it on an old piece of plywood. Hope someone comes up with something better....
