Husqvarna bar tip grease gun

Probably worth turning up your oiler output and give the bar sprocket a soaking in WD40 and rotate it by rolling it along a piece of wood, once it rotates freely, the extra oil should keep it working.

However those little guns are absolutely perfect for greasing hard to get at muffler bearings.

 

Aye, they be the bee's knees for that curious task!!

You be bad men:lol:

I am glad I am not the only person who couldn't figure out how one of them is meant to work!

 

In the end I too decided mine was faulty and (I think) binned it!

My plastic husky one has never worked, I left it on a radiator (in a tub) and tried all sorts to get it to work. The Oregon metal gun is really easy to use. Though it seems I might not need to grease the bar sprocket afterall!

My saw came with one of these and I was determined to figure out how it worked even though doing so slowly drove me crackers.

 

The one item it doesn't have compared to a "normal" grease gun is a spring or plunger to force the grease out of the nozzle.

 

It does though have a small air hole in the cap and I found that if you cover the hole on the downward push and uncover it when you release the grease gun, it does pump out the grease.

I don't know if this is how Husky designed it to be used, but it does seem to work.

 

I did find it odd that they don't provide any instructions at all with it.

Someone in an office somewhere much get a lot of amusement from that one.

I have just been out to find one , there are some lying around as one comes with each saw you by ( recently bought a couple ) The plunger does spring up and down and it does pump grease . Used to grease bar tip but don't bother now for all the reasons mentioned .

How do I turn up the oiler output? I'll give the WD40 a try too. Cheers.

Should have said , I meant a spring to force the red piston thingy down and stop the grease moving away as you depress the gun.

 

I would love to have an explanation from Husky about how it works because it seems to defy the laws of physics.

My 550 has a small screw accessed from the bottom of the saw case that you turn to adjust the flow rate.

It has a chain symbol and a + and - symbol next to it.
