We had one like that . Some times when you went to fill up it had not used any then the next time it had used what you would expect ...then none again . Cleaned the bar etc etc . Don't work with it any more so don't know what the out come was ....

The most common causes are a plugged bar, blocked oil channel, plugged oil pump, blocked tank breather or blocked oil pickup in the tank.

 

Check the bar oiler hole, flush the oil tank out with fuel and try new oil with a 3:1 mix oil to fuel to flush it out. If this doesn't work it will be a case of removing the clutch and covers, removin the oiler and then checking the pump isn't blocked with a plug of fine sawdust - wiggling it out with wire and blasting a bit of WD40 or carb cleaner down each hole will clear it.

 

You may have a stripped oiler pinion gear so check this but it is not common on these saws.

 

Good luck

Take it to a repair shop. TBF you've had 6 days to fix it. It shouldn't be too pricey.
