Hi Mark No i'm not letting it tickover. Its not leaking https://www.productreview.com.au/p/husqvarna-236-236-e-series.html It runs well and has good power so not running rich!

Over-oiling Chain OK, I've done a bit more research. Most manufacturer chain oils and Gator's are 30 weight ISO100 I am going to try 50 weight ISO 220 chain oil to see if it fixes this issue. Hope its not too much for the pump in these freezing conditions???

I agree Steve, Gator oils say theirs is one of the thickest!!! Husqvarna UK and World of Power are not being very helpful. My local Husky dealer is snowed under ATM. However he is happy to look at it and do a warranty claim in about a month. There are others on the web with this issue. Any advice on restricting the flow anyone - cause pump damage???

Hi I have a new 236. I am using extra tacky chain oil. My problem is that the chain oil runs out twice as fast as the fuel and there is no adjuster on this model. The manual states that the fuel should run out first - which is my experience with other saws for the last 50 years. Unfortunately the chain runs dry before its noticeable. I have tried under-filling the fuel tank but this is hit and miss and far from ideal as it reduces the already short run time. Even in these freezing conditions I still need to slow down the oil somehow. I understand that there are High Viscosity extra tacky oils - but which ones are the highest viscosity when the saw is hot? As the saw is running well I don't want to richen the mixture to use fuel more quickly !!!!! Might it be possible to partially obstruct the plastic channel where it delivers oil to the blade? Expert advice appreciated.
