The test i saw was with an electric motor driving a chain, the motor is switched off and the chain dropped onto a sample leg at 90 degrees, class one is 20 metres per second class two is twenty four and class three twenty eight, altering sprockets increases chain speed beyond that which is in the operators manual.

Oh dear!

I agree it is probably excess gasket, you would soon know if it was leaking as the oil gets on the bottom of the muffler and smokes pretty well, it wouldt hurt to just check the crankcase screws are good and tight.

Green stripe all the way.

Deco valves are there to protect the machines components ( cord, handle pawls etc ) as well as your elbow.
-
Button in to start, most deco valves will pop out once the engine has fired, press in again to start.

The oil should not just spit out, within the plastic houseing is a metal pin, this sits into the gear to give it a throw, so the pump shaft should spin and reciprocate, if the pins is missing it will not oil correctly.

The 40/45 has a non adjustable pump, have you removed the pump? behind it you can remove the pick up pipe that has a filter on the end, the gear for the pump drive is an interference fit to the crank, is it tight?

If its the same as the Husqvarna plug 10mm fine metric its part no. 503552201,

assuming the saw was running ok prior to your cleaning it has to be somthing you have done, so chain brake actuated prior to re fitting?
-
Unfortunatly this is gen one auto tune so cannot be plugged in to find information, things to watch are main bearing drive side, with the drum removed grab the crank and check for any movement up and down.

Check the impulse hose.

Can I charge a lawnmower battery with a car charger ?

Lead acid battery no problem, gel battery has a different charger. -
Be aware the air filter elbow you need to change is different between the XP and XT.

Let your wife drive?

Have to agree the saw in working order is not worth a great deal.

Zama or Walbro carb?

Wire broken inside by the spade terminal at the ignition unit, as Spud says a continuity test will show the fault quick fast.

Probably why your not a service engineer.

New clutch tool is part no. 582834201

Not much more to say as the replies are all correct, i wouls only say it is not a five minute job to fit the belly pan, the spring is easy to fit however but as Stubby says you need to fit both parts for a complete repair.

Ba humbug to all of you i thought the 335 and later 338 were great saws way ahead of its time, the bearigs were sealed with the seal inboard so no crap in the bearings, the balance was correct just the oposite of the Stihl, the later cylinder can be fitted to the early 335/339 you just need to fit the later inlet tube and clamp, simple saw to work on, only pump issues were idiots taking the adjuster screw out and refitting without pushing the pump shaft back. know the saw inside out and love them.

Looks like a pile of junk, i would agree Poulan

As with all saws this is an all position carb, the carb has wo sides a metering side and a pump side, the carb is fed a pulse from the action of the piston riseing and falling, this is fed via a hole in the inlet side of the cylinder through the gasket and induction block to the carb, a diaphram in the carb pulses and pulls fuel from the tank, new diaphrams would be in order and make sure the gaskets either side of the induction block are alighed correctly
