Two chain oiler pumps in a row locked up on me and destroyed the plastic pinion gear. I cleaned everything thoroughly.
Cleaned the bar, the tank, everything. The pump worked fine for about five minutes and then failed. I just left it at the saw shop, maybe they can figure it out. The only thing else I could think of is the tank vent. I spent a lot of time looking for it,
looking up forum posts, and couldn't get the information as to how to find it and clean it. I rarely give up on a saw, but this one didn't work out. And now the saw shop tells me that they are backed up three or four weeks so I have a long wait.
Got two more saws with bad crank seals, an echo CS-4600 that I can't find parts for (another chain oiler problem). Looks like its time to go shopping for more saws! I figure once I get about a dozen or so, I'll have a few that are actually ready to go to work........
