Also what exactly causes the oil blockages? Just so I can avoid it in the future at all costs 

Bar blockages are usually caused by poorly sharpened chains making dust and forcing it into the oiler hole. At least that's my experience

Saw dust in the combi can, not cleaning around the oil cap before filling, and my pet hate bloody bio oil.

Should have said thin down non fling oil in sub zero temperatures.

Okay thanks guys. Will need to test the chainsaw out in the morning and give the filter a clean. I think my neighbours are in bed so might get in trouble revving the chainsaw at this time 😂 so far you have all been a massive help, much appreciated. Will keep you updated

I have a poly v pulley on a shaft, this has a short belt running around it and the rim, and is driven by a battery drill, this way I can drive the pump with no engine running.

That is a great idea!

Still think it is worth examining that bar for what I posted earlier .

Feck me...lift lid and throw them in.....they can't be factory tools....they remind me of my days in 1980s production!

I reckon you are a Husqvarna tool collector......have you got one of their Mincers?....I found one once at an antique fair, I wish I had purchased it!

Nice oil pump tester😉
