Failure of oil pumps

 So you're saving about £15 per 25l, but you're having to replace oil pumps at £50 a pop. 

 

Seems false economy

No, I'm replacing one pump on personal use but have two saws purchased as spares or repairs, that coincidentally have clapped pumps- but not caused by me? I should have clarified that. So potentially they are a weakness, full stop, which is the gist of the thread... and in fact veg to most blokes on here might be around a quid a litre  but mine is bought used, filtered and dewatered, and reused at 35 pence a litre

An update...I've bought an ECV-5601 Tanaka, cracking saw for the money (it was fairly cheap admittedly), but not that surprised to find the pump is playing up. The more you look on the Yank arb sites, you realize the worm gears strip out. I can get a mate to machine one up if parts are scarce but clearly they are prone to going and are probably nothing to do with what the saw is run on really
