T540 not oiling.

Where the hell is the breather? I didn't know there was one for the oil tank.

Of course there would have to be. Damn, I'm even dumber than my parents said!!

 

generally under the stainless protector plate around the bar studs and oil pump! make sure it allows air in!

It's oiling again.

No unfortunately. I've actually got no idea why it wasn't oiling.

My guess is that a 'bit' from the wrecked oil pickup filter got to the oil pump and it wasn't until I dismantled the oil pump that it cleared.

Just a guess though cos it's working now.

The difference between success and failure is sometimes just down to tenacity, doggedness and down right drive! Glad all is sorted, sometimes it does take a while for the oil to flow through when the pump and ancillaries have been in bits especially with the bar on.

 

At least is saves a trip to the dealer!
