MS260 oiling problem

[wisecobandit]

The crankcase has nothing to do with the oiler side of things, I would've laughed at him if he told me that.

Have you owned the saw from new? It may have a high capacity oil pump fitted and if your just cutting softwood its overkill.

Everything I can see that's been written puts the pump itself at fault, both you and spud have gone thru the obvious, I would put a new pump on it and I reckon that will sort it.

unless there is a hole or crack in the tank, or even the gasket is leaking, had a 441 in that was leaking oil from around exhaust, the gasket had gone. but the chain was being oiled ok.

 

pressure test the tank.
