Either me or the saws are going nuts?

Saw stopped oiling. Removed B&C, cleaned thoroughly.

 

Checked for oil flow from bar mount aperture; perfect and responds to rpm.

 

Mounted bar to check for flow thru oil hole - all good.

 

Fit chain, rotates around spotless bar perfectly. Run saw - no oil and chain overheats.

 

Try another saw. Same thing happens!

 

One Tsumura bar, one Sugi.

 

What the hell.

 

???????????

What make of saw is it mate stihl husky echo etc and what type of chain oil are you using.I ask this cause some are really viscous and some are piss thin.I have read recently-(on facebook so who knows if its true)-someone else was having problems with a sugi bar oiling.

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Well to top it off, now the Stihl is doing the same!!!

 

Mad.

 

Echo 8002, Echo 620, Stihl 461 (with Stihl bar).

 

Rye oil. Only said about it being very thick recently in another thread. So thick that the harvester head can't handle it.

 

Why would it work one day and not the next?

 

Am at the end of the can...

 

But it flows fine from the saw! With positive pressure.

 

Nuts.

Or

 

I'm being as thick as Rye Oil

 

Lol

Hi

 

Perhaps the oil gets too viscous at lower temperature? just a guess

Oi I am not sure whether I should take this personally or not

[Stubby]

Maybe one degree lower today John . Just enough to cause this with an already thick oil .

[waterbuoy]

Maybe something to do with the oil having 'separated'- has it been frosted at all?

 

Unlikely to be temperature related today I'd have thought - over ten degrees up here!

Oddly enough its only 4 degrees down here in West Sussex and still falling .

9C here. Has worked ok in colder temps.

 

Thinking end of can, extra thickeners not been agitated???
