Any tips on how to fix a saw that isnt oiling? i tried cleaning her but still wont oil :( back to the dealer?

 

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
