Hello Danny;
I know you have already done this but my OCD requires me to post it.
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).

You do not provide a model number. Every Husky I have seen has an outboard clutch this may help.

  1. Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed. Poulan (Craftsman, Jonsered, Husky) clutch removal tool part number 530031112 if needed, is under $5 from many sources (look at the visible area between the weights if 2 small round sockets are visible you need the tool).
  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 nylon rope (nothing left behind) 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).

The IPL (exploded parts list) for your saw is the only detail for oil line routing and it is sketchy at best. Oil system components and part numbers are listed but may be on different illustrations. They are also beneficial with disassembly/reassembly:

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

Try running a small stiff wire through it. A clog of sawdust and oil can be hard to remove.

How to stop flow of oil on to chain?

Interesting.
Chain lubrication
is critical to the life of the bar and chain.
I'd be suspicious that you may not be using heavy viscosity chain lubrication oil.
Light weight oil will flow much faster.

How to replace a oiler?

Wow, an 031 AV and its still running ?? You really got the life out of that one !!! The oiler is mounted on the outside of the block around the crankshaft behind the sprocket. Bar and chain, sprocket and another side cover must come off first. Make sure you blow everything clean with a air compressor during disassembly, because its gonna be gnarly under there.

There MAY be two different types available: one with adjustable oil flow and one without. I would NEVER go with one that is NON-adjustable. Once done, pre-lube your bar and chain with oil prior to starting the saw. This prevents a few hundred revolutions of the chain without lubrication before the new pump gets oil through the delivery port.

Closely monitor the oil tank during the first tank of fuel going through the saw and adjust the oiler toward the minus (-) just a tad bit if the oil tank runs dry BEFORE the gas tank.

I have borrowed a chainsaw PWR1750CSA from a friend i need to know what oil goes in the tank, i presume it is to lubricate the chain.

The fuel tank takes a 25-1 fuel oil mix, the oil tank takes a non fling chain oil to lubricate the chain, if you you a light oil it will spray off the end of the bar and not lubricate the under side of the bar where most cutting is done, if you cannot get non fling oil use as thick an oil as you can get hold of.

No oil lubrication at chain or bar.

There are a couple of things to check. There is a small hose that runs from the bar oil tank to the bar. This may be clogged or cracked so that no oil is getting to the bar. I would also check the "O" ring on the bar oil tank. Of this is bad the tank can't pressurize and the oil won't flow to the bar. You may also want to check and see if all the little hoses to and from the bar oil tank are in good shape and connected.

No oil flow to lubricate chainsaw bar and chain. Could oil port be blocked? Chainsaw starts and runs fine. I see no decrease in oil level in the bar oil reservoir. I cleaned all openings on the bar and...

have you drained oil tank and checked oil pickup filter ?

have you checked oil tank breather ?

next check the drum and worm oil pump driver , they should have no damage to them , and engage the drum and worm should engage the pump shaft correctly with no slipping or binding , check the oil outlet hose is clear and make sure the pick up hose is clear with no holes / tears in its length but mostly sounds like the oil pump and worm need replacing ?

if you find a worm pump and worm gear replace them and make sure the oil pick hose seals off the oil tank to pump opening ( because if it sucks air with will not pump properly ) and oil will leak out under gravity while sitting

Chain not lubricating on Ryobi 4046c chain saw

Have exactly the same problem as you, think the oil pump is the problem but can't find a supplier for the part yet. I blew done the pipe into the oil tank using an air line and it was OK.

Hello, Sir, Good Morning, I am operating POULAN chain Saw model no 4016.( i bought it in 2007 from germany) and facing a problum with oil system.which is not lubricating the bar and chain.i start engine...

Hi,

Are you using the correct viscosity oil? - It is quite important that the oil is not too thick to freely flow. I am assuming that you are pushing down on the oil tank actuator cap to try and get the chain lubricated? (This is a manual process and does not lubricate the chain automatically on this saw)

Failing that, it sounds like there could be a blockage internally within the oil tank that needs to be cleared.

If this is the case, the user manual (http://dl.owneriq.net/5/5050c27f-7f11-43a6-9bb9-0d77109d285c.pdf) suggests contacting a repair centre.

You could always try removing the bar and chain and carefully working a small piece of wire into the lubricant holes to try and free any clogged up oil.


If this helps, please leave feedback - if not, let me know and I'll try and help some more!
