Dennis,
Thanks for contacting the AnswerArmy to post your question.
We regret to note a possible problem with the chain oiler system on your unit.
However, the pump pumping an excessive amount of oil is a very abnormal condition.
The pumps are positive displacement pumps and the maximum delivery usually is limited and will not be excessive.
Normally, the oil pump should deliver about 1/2 to 3/4 tank of oil for a tank of fuel used.
In your case, if the oil is being used up at a much greater rate, we would suggest you deliver the unit to an authorized Poulan Warranty Dealer for evaluation and correction.
If needed, you can identify the Poulan Service & Parts dealers through the Service Locator link on the website
