The bar oil will not come out of the reservoir

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.

1. 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 (99.9% of clutches have left handed threads, tighten it to remove it).
• Please make extensive notes & some digital pictures will help during reassembly.

1. If it does not oil on completion of 1 it is most likely a bad oiler or worm gear (see IPL for the location).

You can rinse the oil tank out with rubbing alcohol, mineral spirits, or carb/brake cleaner. This will hopefully clear any debris clogging the oil outlet.
