Partner 370

[Pedro22]

Hi,

Got given a Partner 370 which wasnt running. Got it running and all cleaned up, but now its running its using so much bar oil. Took the pump out and cleaned it all out and it looks ok and the teeth are fine. Replaced the plastic hose and grommit that takes the oil up to the bar. With bar off and running oil seems to be coming out of the right channel now, but after a few minutes of running theres oil everywhere. Is there a way to slow it down?

This model doesn't have an adjustable oiler. The flow on these is quite extreme and is a feature of the model. A more traditional mineral based chain oil would be my recommendation....assuming you are using a synthetic oil such as Stihl synthplus at the moment.
