346xp not oiling

[Nutter2]

Hi, 

Ive just bought a lovely 346xp it has a new xforce husqvarna bar and chain. 

Plenty of oil comes out the oiler gallery tested with bar off, but chain doesnt seem to get sifficent oil cant see any fling off even over a puddle of water no rainbowing. 

Seems to come out the bottom under sprocket and drip onto floor. 

Ive cleaned bar, turned it tried everything. Im thinking this bar is not compatible

I would check the bar number and see if it is listed as compatible with the saw.

wasnt there some sort of gasket for some bars (but witch I don’t remember, cannon ?? Maybe ) so it didn’t leak out of the wrong place..

Just in the off chance...I googled 346 oil leak.

is this your problem by any chance?

Sounds like the oiler hole in the bar doesn't line up with the oiler channel.

The bar should have a small separate oiler hole around 3mm from the edge of the bar and not oil through the larger chain tensioner holes like some do.

Check the oiler hole, if present, to make sure it isn't blocked.

Also, make sure the oil pump is turned up to max to see if this has an effect.

Forgot all about this post.. saw still not oiling correct. Also used another 346 today and same issue not oiling the only thing the same on each saw was they had these new Xfroce husky bars so im thinking theres an issue with compatibility

The small bar pad has never changed from the days of the 140s through to the 550xp, so there should be no issue with the oil hole location in the x force bars, are you trying to fit the large bar pad style bar? this will throw the oil hole out.
