Help a chainsaw newb out... None of my previous cheapies would do this (pull-on brand chainsaws).
I'm already on my 2nd CS-400 Echo saw from home cheapo (I know about the dealer bit, but I got $300 on HD gift cards that my dealer wouldn't take lol) Th 1st one I returned would also puddle oil when idling (And no, the idle is not too high that the chain moves while idling). The 2nd one I bought also did the same thing. If I adjust the oiler all the way down, the puddling would stop, but then the bar would run dry. They both didn't leak when engine is off. I also removed the B&C and inspected them. Neither one cut any wood so yes they were both immaculately clean. Is this normal? They both coat the chains with a good amount of oil when running. I don't feel like returning the 2nd saw too if they all do this. I almost got the Husky 350 instead from Lowe's but alas I only had $150 GC with them. Do huskies do this too?
