I just picked up my new 540. I love it but it don't half pump up the chain oil . I have turned the pump right down but there's no risk of the chain running dry. Is that common with the saw becos if it ain't then it's going back . Any advice please ?

I wish I could sit on it, its back in at Dick Leigh's

 

Bloody thing keeps air locking and stopping half way through a cut, oh and the rear AV spring, Dick says its because we are too rough with em

Absolutely terrible saws. Good when running but always breaking! I'm not rough with saws and it takes the wee! Don't think auto tune helps, consider swapping mine for a old 200 we have

Interesting reviews , I swapped our 4 ms200's and went over too the 540 and so far we have not had a problem with ours . If the saw is stored close to the harness when not n use it does not get beaten from branch to branch and does not end up getting broken - this is seen as good practice and a design feature of the saw . We have not had any experience of the rear AV mount failing, however the saw is not dropped onto its lanyard neither is it yanked on when trapped . If I'm honest if the AV mount vials then I will replace it and move on ! After all it is only an AV mount and should be treated as a replaceable service part
