Yeah. The oiler diaphragms get tired after 25+ years of service, or just sitting. Thinner oil def helps plus you always have the manual override
I've got the Husky 435 carburetor off the saw and in the carb cleaner bucket. Carburetor looks different than others but you put it together the same way. Checked the intake and pulse hole and all looked well. Fuel lines checked out also. I'll get a kit for it tomorrow.
Your avatar shows me that might be a good reason to run a dull chain..

I've been really enjoying cutting lately with one of my Shindaiwa saws. The saw is a lightly modified 488, has been my main go-to saw lately. In the recent ice storms and all the subsequent sawdust making activities, it stopped oiling. 
Finally got time to take a look at it...
A little clean up...
I had a spare oiler from a 577 carcass, which is the same oil pump (Mikuni) as the 488. The plastic worm gear was in good shape, oddly enough.
Back together, and oiling like a champ!

I can tell you what's on my bench and what's not, on the bench is a just ported 365sp that runs super and a 254xp that I put together last week. Now for what is not on my bench, a 6" 20# vise that I some how knock off the bench right onto the arch of my right foot putting and end to todays play.
Ouch! I hope you get better.a 6" 20# vise that I some how knock off the bench right onto the arch of my right foot putting and end to todays play.
You better ice it down with a cold beverage and bolt that vice down
