MS150 oil leak issue

[MattG]

Hi people,

I've just had an ms150 dropped round. Guy says it leaks bar oil real bad, and none is delivered to the chain. Bear in mind, I've just received it, so not started it, or even started to look it, but I just wondered, like, is it a common fault on this saw, and as such, are there any usual culprits that I should check out first?

Or is it just a case, of tearing down the whole oiler system until I get to something obvious (e.g. loss or broken pipe).

Sorry to ask a bit of a lame question, but I just figured that if someone else has seen this issue on other ms150, it could give me a headstart and save me a bit of time.

thanks Matt

My ms150t the top handle version has stopped oiling half a dozen times. Just needed the oiling system cleaned out.

Yeah. I think this one must've somehow got the pump actually disconnected from the oil channel. Cos apparently is pi$$s oil everywhere, but the bar runs dry.

I dunno, I aint looked at it or the manual yet. Guess I'll just tear down (probably next weekend) and post back what I discover.
