Anyone had a 2100 not oil with a new bar? My 2101 didn’t want to oil to save its life with a new 33” 063 cannon I put on last summer. I ran the saw a few times cleaning the oil system out a few times, checking the bar etc. Couldn’t get it for anything. Tried it again last winter, still no go. Then today I decided it was happening, so I ran it and my dads 2100xp side by side bars off. The 2100 is my best oiling saw, with a 33” 058 cannon bar that is pretty old on it it sprays oil everywhere and really makes a mess. Anyway, bars off the 2101 oiled more!
Then I thought it must be the bars, and it was. The old cannon had come off a 2100 parts saw that had been used on the coast probably by a pro I’m guessing. Anyway, he slit the oil holes right out into the bar channel with a file and beveled the edges. So I took the hint and dremmeled out the new bars’ oil holes much larger and tried it. Now it oils much better. Just thought I’d share that.
