My trusty-crusty 394 is having oiling issues. After warm-up if I hold the throttle for a low-moderate chainspeed, I can see the oil glistening on the chain. Now when I open her up for the wood, the chain runs dry. My adjusting screw is opened three full turns, this should be squirting oil everywhere.
I bought a gallon ($20.00 USD!!!), jug of Husky low-temp oil and it doesn't work too well. I even used a heat-gun to warm up the oil tank before doing some cutting.
Before I order a new oil pump and worm gear, how do those of you who cut in cold temps thin the oil?
Right now it is -10*F (-23*C), outside and the day usually will warm to maybe +5*F (-15*C) to +8*F (-13*C).
Thanks.
