No oil coming from my bar/ chain

The obvious is to clean out the bar groove and oil inlet hole . Start the saw without bar and chain . See if any oil comes out of the out let . Careful how you rev the saw , don't want the clutch spinning off if its a thread on one .  The hard to start when hot could be low compression . The 135 is not a pro saw so maybe not worth spending too much money on it . 

I dont know where the oil inlet hole is. though it may clogged clogged due to running on waste engine oil. Though I dont even know where the adjustment screw is!

 

The easyest way I find starting it when hot is to chock the throttle with a bit of wood so its wide open when starting it. As following the instructions on the sticker dose not seam to work.

 

I dont know much about the clutch. As I said before not used it in nearly 10 years and I dont do a lot with it, Was only clearing a path the other day

 

Thanks

"waste engine oil",,, somehow I knew that was coming.

Flush it all out, clean it up, use decent oil, you will have to pay for good oil but not everything in life is free.

From what you are saying I think the best bet is to let someone with a wee bit more knowledge on chainsaws take a look at it, used or waste oil is not good to use in the oil tank for many reasons, one of which is you are breathing that in when it is flowing off the chain, bad practice sir.
