Automatic oiler won't oil chain. - Garden

To replace the chain oiler line on a Stihl 036 chainsaw, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the chainsaw from starting accidentally.
2. Drain the old chain oil from the oil tank.
3. Remove the old chain oiler line from the chainsaw.
4. Clean any debris or blockages from the oiler hole.
5. Cut a length of new chain oiler line to the appropriate size. The line should be long enough to reach from the oil tank to the oiler hole on the bar.
6. Attach one end of the new chain oiler line to the oil tank and the other end to the oiler hole on the bar.
7. Secure the line in place with the appropriate fittings and clamp.
8. Fill the oil tank with the recommended type and amount of chain oil.
9. Reconnect the spark plug wire and test the chain oiler to ensure it is functioning properly.

It is important to use the correct type and amount of chain oil to ensure the chainsaw operates properly and to extend the life of the chain and bar. If you are not comfortable performing this repair yourself, it is recommended to have a professional chainsaw repair technician handle the repairs for you.

Personally, I would leave the oiler adjustment to a qualified repair shop. If you turn it back to much, it will get even less oil and will starve the chain/bar!!

either a faulity oiler or oil lines cloged try using compresed air to clear the lines by blowing in the oil tank

I have never seen an automatic chain oiler that worked. Even new ones don't seem to work. Just pour a little used engine oil on the bar once in awhile like everyone else does.
In theory there is a small piston that rubs on an eccentric at the chain sprocket, and that sucks in oil and pushes it through a hole, into the center groove of the bar.
But if the piston is dry, it won't pump.
If the holes are clogged with sawdust, it won't work.

Hello. Thin your bar oil just a wee bit with some kerosene. If you have a gallon of bar oil add 1/4 cup of kerosene, stir it up and you will be fine. For starters also, directly apply some bar oil to the chain so that you are always using a well lubed chain. Joe

possible crack in the reservoir, or line has come loose

Are you using any oil in the oil resivour? The oil lubricates the chain on the bar. I would guess that you installed the chain backwards. If the chain moves freely on the bar it is getting lubrication. I have made that mistake before. check rotation and your new chain. Don't know what brand of chain saw you have, automatic oiler, manual oiler, ect. but would guess that the problem is with the chain itself. Hope it as simple as that.

Hi

It is gear driven oiler and there is not any adjusment for it.
