The gas cap on a Poulan chainsaw covers the tank and keeps gas from spilling while you cut. It is also designed to vent excess heated gases to keep the right amount of pressure, which allows the fuel to be pumped into the carburetor via the fuel line.
STIHL currently recommends that you do not store or use fuel older than 60 days, and preferably no longer than 30 days, even with a stabilizer. Read more about storing your outdoor power equipment.
Without venting, your engine will be starved for fuel and it is even possible for the fuel tank to collapse due to the vacuum created when fuel is sucked out and air cannot replace it.
The fuel tank may build excessive pressure due to a blocked vent. This could cause fuel to spray on occupants or bystanders when opening the fuel cap, potentially causing injury. Additionally, if an ignition source was present, this could create a risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property.

I was using the saw as a chain saw last weekend to cut up an old tree stump when the chain came off. I don’t know how to access it to put it back on and don’t have a user manual. The saw belonged to my late father and I don’t know if he even kept the manual.
ANSWER : You will have to remove the cover on the side the chain bar goes into. There should be one or two nuts holding the cover on the side. The is also a chain tension adjuster you may have to loosen to put it back on. Make note of the direction of the teeth on the chain. It is an directional chain. The tension adjuster is usually a flat head screw on the front side right beside the chain bar.Unless it is a really old saw, manuals are available from most manufacturers for free download. See if you can locate a brand name and model number.

Chain saw chain stopped moving
ANSWER : Was it running and shut down and was froze or when you went to restart it was frozen? Two things I have seen cause this other than a seized engine. One – chain bound up. Remove side cover and inspect chain mechanism. Two- the pull cord is bound up. Remove the pull cord cover and inspect.
