Thanks chaps, will check the brake band although I have just replaced this. Hmm that's a good point. I think it's definitely chain oil although i'll double check this. The overheating is definitely coming from around the clutch as it's smoking from that point. Thanks for the thoughts guys, will have a tinker!

Oh, the saw is a Husqy 440e

Hi all, I have 2 new chainsaw issues.. 1. Continuing oil leak. The oil does not seem to be leaking from the bar and chain side of the saw but from around the casing and leaking in and around the flywheel. My question is, can the oil tank itself leak oil out of the actual case between perished seals etc? If so I'm happy to replace the tank but just wanted to check if this was an issue as it's an expensive part. I thoroughly checked all other places for oil leaking and it seems to be coming from the actual tank casing leaking in and around the flywheel. 2. After using the chainsaw for no longer than 5 minutes it gets really hot and is overheating around the clutch drum. The chain and bar are definitely getting lubricated so I'm thinking it's an issue with the clutch drum/assy itself. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

🤣 well if that turns up i'll be quite happy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Number 6?

Is it on this diagram?

ahh adw..you are my hero! You have no idea how many times I have take this thing apart, which is probably how it went missing in the first place! The only problem is now how to replace this as I can't see it on the parts diagrams..

ooh I think you may be on to something here..this is a pic of my oiling parts. Am I missing this pin?!

This is the parts diagram for my oiling system. It looks like there is an unfinished label below the pump piston. Should this be anything? It doesn't come up on the parts list

Thanks skyhuck, I just replaced the oil pipe as it wasn't too costly

Good luck Patrick!

I flushed out the oil tank again yesterday with some spirit and I noticed there was a leak of this spirit which seemed to be coming from the crank case somewhere and building up at the base of the flywheel. Can the crankcase have leaks in the tank itself?

Thanks Spud, I have done all of this and inspected and changed the worm gear and pump piston for brand new parts. So I think I have these covered. Thank you though

Hi adw, Yes the light grey filter that you can access through the bottom of the saw. I have removed this cleaned it and also replaced it with a brand new one so don't think that's the issue. That's interesting what you say about the for the oiler to pump it needs a throw on the shaft. I'm not sure I follow this..😬 and what do you mean by an eccentric cut into the nylon gear? I don't suppose you would know the part numbers to these so I can look them up and know what i'm looking for? Thanks so much

Thanks Peatff, That's rule that out. Yes i'm not expecting a jet but I would say it's coming out of the bar feed hole intermittently at best. I'll try some thinner oil though and see if that makes a difference. Cheers

ah thank you buddy, pleased to be a part of it!

Hi all, I'm not sure what else to try to get my chainsaw oiling again. I have a Husqvarna 440E. I have replaced the oil hose, and the oil pump piston and piston cylinder. I have also replaced the worm gear and made sure that the clutch drum is sitting into the worm gear properly. I have also replaced the oil screen in the oil tank and cleaned out the oil tank. I am still not getting oil to the bar. Oil does seem to get through the oil hose because I can see it at the hose opening when I have the bar and chain off but it doesn't seem to be really flowing. There also seems to be oil leaking from the other side of the chainsaw where the actual flywheel is. I have inspected the oil tank itself and I can't see any cracks in it. I have read something about if the rubber seal has gone in the crankcase that there might be some kind of negative pressure so the oil isn't flowing to the bar properly. Could this be the problem and has anyone any experience with this. When looking at the parts diagrams there isn't any seals shown on there but I guess I would need to buy a whole new crankcase. I'm reluctant to do this if it doesn't solve the problem though. Any help will be greatly appreciated so I can get it up and oiling again! Many thanks in advance. Matt
