Old Dirty Feta and the MS500i--the Hi-Tech Wood Lobotomizer

I believe it’s in this thread in some of the early pages.

What pin! LOL I have the oil adjuster turned up as high as it will go.

This pin. Use a punch and tap it lightly until it is flush with the oil pump and the screw can be turned further.

Thanks for the pic Dan

Thanks guys! I have the saw up at our cabin, the next time I'm up there I'll check that pin out. I thought I remember reading something about it but was under the impression that it had to be pushed in in order to adjust the oil flow screw, and mine does turn back and forth. Dan, I take it that the pin in your picture has been pushed down already, it looks pretty flush? Hopefully that's all I need to do.

Yes, the pin has been pushed down flush. The pump on the 500i and 462 will easily oil a 36 inch bar when pushed in.

Thanks again!

With the pin pushed in the 462 will oil a 36”

The cardboard test isn’t really definitive. I could put a 36” on a 026 and piss rev oil on the cardboard. What matters is the output under load in the wood and if the chain appears dry after numerous cuts. But yes, a 462 does have a good oiler output with the pin in.

Can a small piece of metal be cut off the limiter collar on an older style oiler to allow the screw to be turned farther with the same results as the oilers with the pin pushed in?

I was thinking about what that bloke in the vid said about the amount of fuel used 100L
Over 3 months when we get busy around here we use that in 2 weeks .

I’m using between 6 to 8 ltrs a day at the moment

Geez bust my balls. I’ve cut with it like this. It oiled fine. I’d pick something different if I used it everyday.

He’s not busting your balls. He’s saying the cardboard snail trail test isn’t a test that proves a saw oils adequately for the length of bar installed.

@AlfA01 have you had the running in reverse condition happen again? Or has it been behaving?

 

[Backtroller]

I get it. I can’t show an accurate picture of it oiling in a cut. That’s the best I could do.

It's been running normally, Ed. I start it nearly everyday just to see what it will do. The only thing I haven't reproduced is the running conditions and heat. Heat may have been a factor.

 

[huskyboy]

Dan any new videos? Updates?

Hey guys,
I was up to our cabin this weekend and checked the pin on my saw and it wasn't pushed in, after pushing it in there was quite a improvement in how it oils the 25" bar and chain! Thanks again for the tip, I love this place!!
