More than likely, your choke became disconnected. I have attached a link from YouTube of a video on this.
There are many useful video's on fixing chainsaws, from simple fixes such as reattaching a choke lever, to complete tear down and rebuilds.
I hope this helps you get back up and running. Short video on fixing chain saw choke
I don't have any poulan saws mine are all stihl and homelite but they all have a chain lock on them .It is located on the front of the motor on top of the saw and if they are hit fairly hard they will lock down on the chain to prevent injury. Try to push the bar forward then pull it back towards the rear of the saw. You should hear it click when it resets.Hope this helps you. Thank you
50:1 is the fuel to oil ratio. Never use petroleum oil (engine or boat motor oil). Always use a synthetic saw oil available from home centers, hardware stores and saw dealers. The bottles are usually graduated to various ratios for a gallon of fresh gas. Always premix in it's own container and shake the container thoroughly each time just before filling the tank to prevent oil starvation. Be sure to use bar/chain oil for the chain as well, and keep the chain sharp and well adjusted. Hope this helps!
Turn up your low speed jet about 1/4 turn. You have 2 holes in the side, one says slow or low and the other says high,, or fast, turn the slow jet in 1/4 or out if that doesn't work, then try it, you will find the right spot. Hope this helps.
Actually, I own one of these battery operated Ryobi chain saws too. It is normal for the saw to run slow. Remember it is battery powered, not gas, so its not going to be a high rpm saw. Be patient whit it, and you'll get about 4-6 cuts per battery. I take mine camping. It sure is nice not having to listen to a two-stroke while relaxing in the woods! Dont plan on cutting lots of stuff, either, or you'll burn up the motor. This thing works great for very mild workloads.
If it is spitting oil out, then your chainsaw is working properly. When it stops spitting oil out, then you have a problem. However, on the bottom of that particular saw you will find a little hole with a picture of an oil can next to it. You can adjust the lubricant output via the screw located at the bottom of that hole but, keep one thing in mind; the harder the wood or working conditions your saw is being exposed to the more oil will be necesary to keep your saw running smoothly and your chain from prematurely dulling.
