Lol! Not quite. Made a cut, heard her start cackling something along the lines of "OUCH!" and then we realized what we found.

Gentlemen,
I need some input on how I should start diagnosing my 394 that doesnt seem to be oiling properly.

There is adjustment left so I'll start there but it only uses half a tank of oil per tank of gas. When I rev it the oil that slings off the tip seems intermittent.

When I lay the saw clutch side down to refill the oil it looks like the brass oil suction strainer doesnt sink to the bottom of the tank. Maybe that's the cause? Thoughts?

Check the screen and pump to make sure there not clogged. Can you see debris/pieces of wood in the oil tank? Is the pickup line deteriorated and cracked?

 

[dustinwilt68]

I would remover the pump and line, clean everything, blow air through the line even and reassemble and turn the oiler to max.

Check the worm gear also.

Also check for the presence and condition of the little o-ring that seals the passage between the oil pump and the port leading to the bar. If that o-ring is misplaced it won't oil for crap...but it will leak a ton of it out from behind the pump. Experience talking here, lol!

I had an issue exactly like this. Angelo completed a nice Bush fix. Emptied out the oil reservoir. Put a little 2 stroke fuel mix. Ran saw for a bit until it was pissing all over. Drained out fuel, filled with bar oil, ran saw. Oiled fine after. Still oils fine.

I was shocked to see just how much saw dust and junk came out of oil tank with the mix.

All good advice. Don’t forget about the simple things too like making sure your bar groove isn’t packed full chips. Found that to be the problem on my 372 AFTER I removed the pump and line only to find nothing wrong with them. K-I-S-S

Very true Josh! I use that little Oregon bar hook tool to clean out the groove every time the chain comes off for touchup. [emoji106]

A hack saw blade works really good too.

Do you cut the blade flat, or just use it as is?

Of course he does he’s a stihl guy. LOL

Yessir!
The Oregon kit

I'll give it a shot. I think I'll start by looking at the bar oil hole and then drain the tank to look at the strainer and clean the tank. I'll go from there... thanks!

I thought I was having a issue with my p60 not oiling. Got it home and took the bar off fired it up and it was oiling like crazy. Oiler hole was clogged on the bar.
