455 rancher not oiling

[davey_b]

My husky 455 rancher isn't oiling the bar. Cleaned the holes in the bar and looking for what to look at yet. What's the best thing to check next?

 

Cheers

As the previous post or woodchip in the oil pump inlet!

Oil delivery tube kinked, there was also a later pick up filter to increase flow.

Take bar off and run the saw a bit. It's easy to see if oil coming out where it should be to oil the bar. That's where I'd start. If not as above

This is quality advice

Do not run the saw with the bar removed, the clutch can, and will fly off on the over run, people are idiots to tell you to do this!!!!!!!

Took it all apart tonight. When you hand turn the oil pump with the rubber hose up to the oil outlet off the oil comes out of the hole in the metal oil pump. When I put the rubber hose back on and push it down it comes out on the oil hole. However when it's all back together the oil seems to seep out the bottom. It's like the rubber hose isn't sealing on the oil pump outlet. Any thoughts?
