HUSQVARNA 365 OILER

[David Mayers]

Hope that someone can help, my Husqvarna 365 with 24" solid professional bar with no front sprocket, the oiler is set on 3 1/2 turns the oiler works fine with no bar attached, but with it in place the oil dosn.t reach all the way to the front of the bar so that the nose section is a bit starved, any ideas would be welcome, regards David

How big are the oil holes in the bar? I have opened up the holes on several of my bars to make them oil better. I have noticed smaller holes on the newer bars compared to the old ones.

Thanks for the message, the holes on the bar were less than half the size of the normal and as its a 24" 3/8 058 bar the possibility of enlarging the holes with carbide drill I returned same and received a full refund, easy way out thanks regards David

No problem. I have enlarged a couple with a regular drill bit and slotted a couple with a Dremel.

Thanks for that I was advised by the supplier that a regular drill on 24" bar which is hardened steel wouldn't be advisable, thanks regards David.

Anytime. I just went slow and started with a bit slightly larger than the hole and went up a size at a time until I got to the size I wanted.

A diamond grinder bit on your Dremel that is small enough that it already fits in the hole - and some patience, might work too.
