Husky 61/266 oil adjustment setting?

[Drillerman]

This might be a stupid question, but what is the current oil adjustment setting on this saw right now? Is it 2 or 4? I'm looking to throw as much oil as I can. I'm assuming 4 is max. I wish the thing just had an arrow. Thanks in advance.

As far as I am aware- the raised dot is the indicator for all 2## series saws (including the 61- and the various Jonsered 600 series saws).
So in the photograph above- the oil pump delivery is set to 4- which is the maximum flow- if everything internal of the pump is clean and in good condition and there is a good seal from pick up tube to pump and from exiting the pump into the delivery gallery.

This is out of a 281 manual- but the basis is the same.

Thanks Bob! I wasn't sure if the printer was the dot or the line on the opposite side of the screw head. Maybe I should beg for a manual. I just haven't tore into many Husqvarnas yet.

Here is a screenshot from a Husqvarna 266 manual, which states the opposite.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sadly this is becoming clear as mud. I can see how that 266 manual is indicating 2, but unfortunately my oiler adjuster looks a little more like the 281 manual. I might just end up tearing it apart and see how the internals match up with the indicator. Time will tell.

Buy a seal kit if you take it off.

Yep. Crank seals, O-rings, and X-ring on oil pump discharge side.

Based on the photo you have posted, the oiler looks like the one in the picture I have posted. The 281 oiler looks tottaly different. Check the position of the regulating screw.
