Thing doesn't have a primer/purge-bulb either perhaps it's a silly "oils-while-on" feature? Doubting that, about to start trouble-shooting but eager for help as I only have a 24hr window (less, now!) for my cash-back return 'warranty' (pawn shop, $150, can get $$ back in 24hrs if it's faulty)
It's not leaking oil when off, and it's not losing it *that* bad IE the "bar-oil dispersal rate" is what I'd expect if & when the throttle is pegged, it's just that if I turn it on & let it idle (chain not moving one inch the entire time), it's still dripping oil :/
Have fallen in-love w/ this saw, for same-displacement it SMOKES my "tanaka" (alttthough the Tanaka has a longer bar, will be swapping those shortly ;D )
Thanks a TON for any advice on this, and anything else it may be worth looking at (330-specific stuff, am pretty sure I know all the normal/routine pre-purchase checks!)
[PS- before I go nuts, going back&forth, if someone could explain the following carb-adjustment scenario to me it'd be appreciated: When I got it, it was kinda hard to start, I turned-in Idle to increase baseline RPM and backed-out L maybe 1/3rd turn (by-ear, after changing idle) While this achieved my goal - quick throttle-response and unlimited idling-without-stalling - I encountered something I've never seen before (hell I'm almost worrying, now, that it could be a flaw with the clutch...but it takes FOREVER for the engine to "wind-down" from full-throttle, like if you were attempting to cut 10 branches as quickly as you could, this would slow you down as your saw's taking like 2X as long as usual to go go back down to Idle, have never seen this and uncertain WTH to do about it..]
[[Again thanks a TON, this was an early-purchase, had intended to get the 355t once my 32cc died but, when I saw this guy, I had to have him!! Every part I touch I am impressed with particularly the air filter arrangement!]]
