Buried bars need tips greased and plenty
Of bar oil

No grease ports on Stihl bars; at least none that I know of. They do NOT get enough oil on the longer bars.

Maybe he needs to sharpen his cutters a little different Jim.
Good to see you chiming in finally.

HAHAHA

HAHAHA

When a bar is wallowing in its own debris, sometimes ya gotta make an adjustment or two.

You got to grease the *s-word outta those things I use Lucas red thick and tacky that stuff hang in there roller nose bars can't take the heat without it especially on the bigger saws if your running 36 in bars then you obviously got power to turn it my super xl 925 will turn a brand-new 36 in bar and chain fast enough to burn the bearing right out of it and pull the sprocket through the bar ask me how I know lol

I know in my very limited experience that with Stihls I prefer winter grade oil and opening the hole on the bar some.

Great movie; one that more people should see IMO.

How do you open the hole on the bar? I know they are very hard steel and the hole is at an angle I believe.

Dremel with a diamond bit...
And helps with oil flow..

But that ain't your problem.
Think chip clearance..

Yeah what Matt said. On the Oregon bars I'll try to keep the shape just make it more bigger.

One if the frankinolys i built resists tuning. Replaced seals. Still resists.
On the premise that its taking air i took the jug off. So its either the gasketless joint between jug and case or its a leak between the carb header and the jug.
When rebuilt i deleted gasket. Done that on several other saws with no problems. I saw what could have been a break in the yamabond; not sure but could be. So i either try gasketless again or make a gasket from coke can. If i use coke can gasket do i need to use yamabond or can i do it dry?
Inspected the header block, couldnt see any cracks but an edge had chipped. When compared to the carb gasket it may have been leaking there. Went ahead and made new larger gasket that should cover it. Btw, have another header block but can see hairlinecrack from outside to the inside; would that cause lean condition if i used it?
Dont have pressure/vacuum tester which is why i havent tested it. Would have been a lot easier and more exact but i gotta use what i got or dont use what i dont got
Other than this issue and wear marks this is a solid saw. Thanks for any thoughts and recommendations

Sorry but what kind of saw and if you have it running and hunting a leak have you tried spraying some carb cleaner at the suspected areas?

Yes I know there aren't any grease ports I've had stihls before you take a drill bit and gently drill a hole in it and then whala you have a grease port I've done it to several of them or if your not that confident in your skills with a drill then squirting what you can down the nose and crank the oiler wide open if you can adjust those that fails buy a homelite that you.can oil yourself lol
