Husqvarna 45

[Andysp]

Hi,first post here so hello.I have a Husky 45 which although an old saw is still running really well.The problem is the chain oil is leaking and is not pumping enough to chain.If I take the metal housing off and remove the small rubber unit that the oil travels in up to chain, and start the saw the oil pump appears to be working,it spits out the oil from the hole in the pipe.Is this how the pump should work?I have checked that the rubber unit is clear would replacing this unit cure the problem or does the pump need sorting?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the oil hole in the bar line up with the pipe ? If the pipe is suspect replace it they are not expensive.

Thank you for reply.Yes the hole in the pipe lines up.

The 40/45 has a non adjustable pump, have you removed the pump? behind it you can remove the pick up pipe that has a filter on the end, the gear for the pump drive is an interference fit to the crank, is it tight?

[Andysp]

Cleaned the filter and still the same ordered new pump.What would be a good replacement saw for the 45?I have a 61 which does any bigger stuff I need.

The oil should not just spit out, within the plastic houseing is a metal pin, this sits into the gear to give it a throw, so the pump shaft should spin and reciprocate, if the pins is missing it will not oil correctly.
