Hello again Rudy.
Please reply below (Add Comments) with the serial number of your saw then I can investigate a little further.
You can reply even when the question is closed. I am not certain how but I get email notification of your reply when done correctly. If equipped the oiler adjustment is below the crankshaft on the clutch side. Look up from the bottom. On the side of my 359 is an icon of a link of chain with a drop of oil above it. The oiler adjustment is aft of that and can only be seen from the bottom of the saw. The manual I saw said 3 position only with CCW (3 - 18 to 20" bar) most oil. Forcing it beyond the stops causes a lot of problems.

Is your serial number is between 07 18##### and 08 17#####?
Page 5 item 1 shows location of the serial number. Not all newer saws have an adjustable oiler. Please reply below.

    See the note (350) on page 36? Call your local Husky dealer, yours may not be equipped with an adjustable oiler. The IPL hinted at that. If not equipped file away the modification idea for next time. I will bet the 350 oiler parts will fit your 340 giving you an adjustable oiler. Your local Husky dealer can probably answer that question too. Good Luck

    There is no adjustment screw on the 2003 Model # 340. My chain is dry. I have to oil it manually or risk burning up the chain & bar ! Husky- bad design ! Should have bought a Stihl saw Next time I will !!

HOW AND WHERE TO ADJUST THE OILER ON THE 240 HUSQVARNA
The Husqvarna 240 does not have an adjustable oiler. Always use good quality bar and chain lube, never motor oil.

340 cc saw oil feed adjustment
On the bottom of the saw you will find a screw. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the pump. They usually offer 3 positions for the oiler.

I want to know where the oiler is on the husqvarna 141
Bill if you indicated the model in your question it did not appear here. Without it we can only provide our best guess. Most Husqvarna oilers are mechanical pumps and are located behind the clutch (99/9% of clutches have a left hand thread, please verify before you attempt removal).
You can locate an OM and IPL (exploded parts list, useful for disassembly and part numbers) here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000; please contact Husqvarna for single digit clarification http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/customer-support/)
15 = week produced – March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. HTH & Good Luck.

How do you adjust chain oiler,increase or decrease amount of oil
Did you get it Lowes? Most new homeowner class chainsaws have no oiler adjustment (bad idea! lots of problems). If it does there is a mention in the OM under or near bar maintenance.
Intermediate class saws often have a 3 position oiler. The professional grades have fully adjustable oilers.

Oil System Plugged:
  1. Remove the clutch cover, bar, and chain, clean the bar groove, any holes and passages on the rear of the bar (both sides, consider rotating the bar), if equipped with a sprocket nose ensure it rotates easily at least one complete revolution. Clean the saw oiler hole and channel. Insert a blunted, hooked piece of wire through the oil filler hole and pull the hose in the oil tank out. Pay attention to the screen or filter on the free end (clean or replace, difficult to determine serviceability). Start the saw and see if it oils when revved up (oozes down side of saw). If yes reassemble your saw. If no, continue with 2.
  2. Work your way through the linkage (use IPL to identify components and locations) cleaning and replacing any defective parts as you go. Carefully check the hoses for cracks especially at bends and connections. If equipped with an oil pump it is usually behind the clutch (clutch is a left handed thread). Please make extensive notes & some digital pictures will help during reassembly.
If it does not oil on completion of 1 it is most likely a bad oiler or worm gear (see IPL).

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. HTH & Good Luck.

Chain oiler not working properly
If it pumps then quits perhaps the tank vent is plugged. When it quits roll the saw, loosen;;; then tighten the oil cap. If it no better post back (below) with a model and serial number and we will analyze your oil system. If it works post back with numbers and I can at least provide a link to your exploded parts list.

Husqvarna chain saw oiler problem
I fear you are correct about the oiler problem. I see a lot of oiler problems on these saws. Sooner or later Husky will have to address it. Ask the dealer about modifying your oiler; the 350 has an adjustable and might fit 1 or both of these saws. I think Husky needs to admit the nonadjustable is a mistake, and come up with a fix.

If you want to do some research start with the IPLs here:

Please post back (below) with what happens at the dealer. Take your buddy and his saw with you! Good Luck. HTH

If Husky starts modifying all these with 350 oilers I want compensation...LOL

Husqvarna 340 oiler not working cleaned tank and saw still won't give any oil.
I opened the 2008 "Operator's Manual" and was pleasantly surprised to find an oiler adjustment. I think you are aware of it and it did not solve your problem.

If my thinking is correct the next most logical problem is the oil pump or worm gear.

  1. Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed.
  2. There are metal piston stops available, when square (almost never) with the piston top these work well, if not square they have been known to punch through the piston. I suggest a length of starter cord or nylon rope be used instead of the piston stop (retain 6" ± so you can remove it). Make sure the piston is near the top of the cylinder before feeding the cord or it can fall through the exhaust port and damage the piston as it rises.
  3. Everyone I have ever removed had a left handed thread (tighten it to loosen it).
    Let us know how it worked for you. GL
