Chainsaw Problem

micko123 · 2012-03-16 23:43:52

Hi, hope this is the right forum for this question. I own an Oleo - Mac 935 dx chainsaw and my problem is that it is not oiling the chain. Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to take it to a mechanic as they are expensive. Thanks.

As above ^^^. Take the bar off and check the hole in the bar is not full of a saw dust and oil mix.

Make a hook out of wire and fish the end of the oil pickup out of the oil tank.
You will probably find that it has accumulated a load of sawdust over time and this can block the intake as the wood swells with oil.
