Hello to All,
Well, I finally got the carb and saw back together, installed a new fuel line grommet (those things shrink like crazy with use and leak), and, after a bit of fiddling with the L and H jets - away she went! Well, I thought, that's good, and then I noticed that no bar oil was coming through. I don't know yet whether the feed line is blocked or the oil pump has had it. Oil is also slowly leaking from the tank or lines somewhere - as the saw always leaves an oily mark when placed down, even when not running.
I've heard that emptying the oil tank and filling with an oil solvent, running the engine without bar and chain and checking the oil outlet for flow might work to clear the system- rather than initially pulling the machine down to get at the pump. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
