It could just be bad but they don't break much,almost never

Make sure your oiler gear is moving freely by hand. I have seen them get locked up with junk.

Moves free by hand and seems to bubble out the oiler hole like it should work

Have you ran it without a bar?

The 084 oiler I worked on this winter was seized. Took it apart and it looked spotless. Had to grab the drive with vise grips to get it freed up. 20 years worth of bar oil had gummed it up enough to spin the drive tang on the plastic gear and ruin it. Had to actually clean the piston and walls to get the gum out. Almost like cosmoline inside.

Yes.

ATF will clean it out also.

I had a poulan 4400 that was bubbling air out of the oiler. Almost no oil. Turned out it was sucking air from an end seal. I'm not sure how similar it is to a 460 oiler but check out this thread

Ok i filled oil tanm up with diesel and ran the saw. None ever came out of the oil hole. When i revved the saw up it peed out the vent. What should i try next. Another oiler? Btw local stihl dealer priced me an oiler for 101.00. So new from them is not an option.

The way I found my problem was I removed the oiler and the hose to the tank. I put the oil line in some oil and spun the pump gear by hand. This will test just the pump, not the drive mechanism.

Ok just tried that. All i ever got it to do it burp a bubble or two. Never even a drop of oil.

Definitely something wrong in the pump then. If you submerge the pump will it pump oil? If so its sucking air somewhere.

I have a real close to new pump if you need one. Be way cheaper than the dealer.

 

[jmssaws]

Pump is bad
