I took a couple of saws out to the wood pile to test auto oilers.First was the 10-10S & it seems to be working just fine.
Next was the PM 700 which only the manual oiler worked.I took the oil tank cover off & found an allen head cap screw & a washer just laying there.At first I couldn't figure out where it came from,then I looked at the upper portion of the tank & saw it had come out of the fuel tank where the two tanks are held together.I put it back in & still don't know how it ever came out,it screwed back in rather tightly.The screw that holds the oil pump in place was a bit loose,so I tighterned it back up & put the cover back on the tank.It was a no go,so I'll have to pull the pump off & see what's going on.
