Hi Guys.
Solved my oiler problem - all thanks to you ppl, got a syringe and blew through the tube with it, gunk came out, oiler worked- so wish i had thought of this before i would have saved many hours and £ taking it to bits, replacing the rubber bits that hold it together.
Anyway while using it yesterday i thought it seemed to be cutting a lot slower than usual, the chain seemed to be going round as fast as ever, but it seems sluggish on the cutting (so perhaps it isnt), i have also noticed a spark here and there and there is no metal in the wood i am cutting, sure of it.
When i showed it to a guy who is "supposed" to know a lot about chainsaws, he said the chain looked sharp enough. This was while i had the previous problem. Could i have fitted something wrong when i put it back together or done something up to hinder performance?
thanks ppl
