my chain saw ,has quit oiling chain,,full of oil but it quit oiling..can anyone tell me what to look for.

 

I would first remove the bar and chain and, using compressed air, blow the bar clean, i.e., starting at the nose go down the rails on each side, then blow the debris out the holes on side of bar where the oil enters from the case. Thoroughly clean the case that is adjacent to the bar when it’s installed, I use an old shopvac. The case will have a shallow well with the oil exit hole adjacent to the bar hole when the bar's installed. Check the oil exit hole from the case to make sure it's not clogged. This is normal maintenance that should be done several times a season anyway.
Now, thoroughly drain oil reservoir, fill ¼ full with gas mix, let sit a few minutes, slosh and drain. Refill oil reservoir with oil, start engine with out bar. If it doesn’t emit oil, then the oil filter may be clogged or, the oil pump is not pumping.
Hope this helps,
Let us know,
Thanks,

 

Thanks I will try that tomorrow, I did use the air hose on it, in the oil hole and drained oil .blew in the oil fill hole trying to hold a rag around the air nozzle.Where is the oil filter located?? I will let you know how I make out .thanks, poop60

 

I put gas in the oil fill hole and shook it up and I even run saw and still nothing., Where would the oil filter be,where woud the oil pump be at..

 

I FOUND THE FILTER AND THE OIL PUMP, THE PUMP SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM ...THANKS TALKING TO ME...

 

Had the same problem with a different make on my back up saw...was told that there is a filter that gets plugged up. Could be as simple as removing and cleaning the filter.
