Hi does anyone got any fixes for not oiling many thanx in advance

 

Check the easy things first, make sure the oiler hole in the bar is clear of wood chip and make sure the oiler channel in the bar mount is the same. Flush the oil tank with petrol.

 

If that doesn't clear it, check the breather is clean, it is pushed in to the area just above the bar nount and is behind the nylon push in chain guide/buffer.

 

If this is OK then it is most likely the oiler being plugged, the clutch will have to be removed clockwise, and once off, blast some WD40 through it so it goes in one side, and out of the other - do it both ways and be prepared to weedle out woodchip that has blocked the pump.

 

Check the rubber block the oil pump pushes in to is clear of wood chip and then reassemble - check the oiler gear/pinion is good with no flats on the thread but I have never seen one go down.

 

All should be good if you do this and it is easier than sodding around trying other methods!

Last time mine blocked up, I flushed the tank and stuff but didn't sort it. Took it to my dealer and he sorted it for less than a tenner whilst I waited, far easier than doing it myself
