036 oiler nightmare

[huskihl]

I have never had a bad pump. The ones I’ve seen had seriously deformed lines, melted lines, that leaked like a sieve.

Me neither. I think the only way one could go bad is if it was run awhile without oil. There just isn't much to go wrong in there

After 3 pages I gotta say. LMAO

These oil lines are damn simple if you just follow the instructions provided with the kit.

Yes I did one on my 034 and almost got it by hand used a hair dryer to get last 1/4 “ of hose on Oiler barb ? Wasn’t that bad.

I have one I modded using @huskihl ’s method for the 044. I’m dying to try it out but I don’t have any tubing left and I’m not itching to take a good working oiler apart.

The only broken one that I’ve seen was worn through by using the wrong clutch and incorrect washer. There’s not much inside of them. I guess the “teeth” could break or wear out too.

This is the only bad one I’ve seen but dont know what caused it?
I assumed it good till I tried turning it ? Replaced it and used proper washer and good to go no washer on disassemble!!

Good thing you checked. That could have ended ugly.

Metal fatigue? Something locked up?

 

[Stihlsmoking]

Front looked ugly ? And I like to rotate with fingernail this one didn’t turn ? If course it was nasty so I cleaned it removed it and found it locked up ? Upon closer inspection you can see crack on lower bolt hole ?

I can see why that piston broke. Something must have been rattling around in there beating the hell out of it.

Looks like you need a new one. I heard to stay away from the aftermarket versions.

It’s been replaced since. working fine. No after market here not on those parts. Lol. Good used oem Oiler on her now.

Crack can be seen here also? Most missed it I know I did ? Lol. Easy to over look small details!!

I'm glad the thread got everyone busy and motivated! Sure got @angelo c and @Stihlsmoking off their butts!

It would definatly take longer to drill the needle nose pliers then to boil a pot of water, screw the oiler in and gently push it home. I'll try the nail trick next time for chits and giggles though.

That's definitely worth a shoot - can't see why that ain't gonna work.

I did one of these oilers today, used a cut off nail. Worked well. If you make the end of the nail round, it works to seat the brass thing in the end too.
