i noticed the chain was not getting any bar oil. I removed the bar ,cleaned the flow port on the bar and the saw body (no change ).
I then dumped and screened the oil reservoir.(spotless).
I then put some gasoline in the reservoir for cleaning purposes and figuring it would flow better if there was an obstruction after the filter.(no change)
i then pulled the flywheel assembly checking the oil pump flinger ring.(all good)
I then pressurized the oil reservoir with air (had no air exiting the saw body port at the bar)
Is it possible that the oil filter is plugged or perhaps the line some how?
I was going to cut the filter off to see what happens.
thnx,john
