Stihl 361 not oiling chain

[sharp edge]

Hello

 

Just wondering if any ne can give me a bit of advice on this?

At the moment my 361 isnt getting oil to the chain, I have cleaned out the pump and oil is flowing fine to the outlet but for some reason is flowing between the outlet and the plate that sits between the bar and the saw and just running out the bottom of the saw.

The bar is clean so it is not that anything is blocked.

Any thoughts would be much apreseated

i had trouble with my ms200. cleaned everything out, worm gear fine and it looked as though the oil was coming out when i ran it with out the bar but it would not oil the chain.

replaced the oil pump and boom oiling fine!

 

you could also try rinsing the oil tank out with petrol in case there is crap in there.

Are the holes actually lined up ok once fitted?

 

It's simple but easy to overlook.

As far as I can tell that is how they have aways been when it was working. are the outlet hole and the hole in the plate suposed to be flush or is there suposed to be an overlap?

Cheers

Maybe a stupid question, but what bar is on the saw?

let me add that it's now freaking cold in the north and that switching to low temp bar oil has solved this problem for me.

That's interesting; what is low temp. bar oil? I gather it's less viscous, does the can state for use in low operating temps. or is it just less viscous than other bar oils; any particular recommended brands?

Im usinga brand new stihl bar but have tryed two other stihl bars just to check that wasnt the problem.

I did think that maybe it could be the oil so I left it inside over night and allas the same problem was there to greet me in the morning

Think Im just going to take it to a dealership and get them to have a look at it.

 

Cheers for all the advice

I have mannaged to fix this problem by making a gasket to sit behind the plate out of an old innertube and seems to have sorted it:biggrin:
