[QUOTE="777funk, post: 7012951, member: 125376"] I believe I found the problem (but not the cause). For some reason, the bar and cover are getting plugged with chips/dust. If I run the saw in a cut it will smoke. If I pull the bar out of the cut and fling for oil at a dry log top, I get nothing for a minute, next I get big chunks of sawdust, lastly, I get oil slinging like I'd hope for. But it takes long enough for this to happen that I can tell there's a plugging problem. Where do I look? [/QUOTE]
