One of my 200t is using loads of chain oil, very nearly a tankful with a tank of petrol, doesn't seem to be loads spurting out or anything, only notice when refueling, only happened recently.

Any ideas? cheers:thumbup:

I'm not sure how the oil pump works on a MS200, if it pumps only when chain is turning maybe it's because you've been doing heavier work recentely? If the saw is doing a lot of idling it won't use so much oil as chain isn't running so much.

 

just a thought!

maybe it recently became unclogged, and is working properly again:001_tongue:

 

oil is your friend

 

haha, it's been clogged for over a year then:001_tongue:

I know lube is good and all that:blushing:

Had the saw for a while now, maybe 2 years, always used about half a tank of oil, no matter what the work is. It's not a major problem, just thought might be a common problem or something?

There's a screw underneath the saw (turn it upside down) that you can turn to turn the oiling amount down.

 

But a tank of oil to a tank of fuel is about right when the oil is turned to max... surely not that expensive on a 200t though! :confused1:
