Oiler question on MS 460

[zr900]

When I went to adjust the oiler I noticed that it only had a 1/4 turn from wide open to closed. Is this normal?

When it is all the way closed my screwdriver lines up with the E between the two marks on the case. Should there be any adjustment farther counter clockwise?

Thanks

yeah it should go further than that

 

[zr900]

So should it be more than a quarter turn from open to closed?

If so what would be causing it to only turn 1/4 turn?

my stihl ms361 with modded oiler (460ho pump parts) turns about 1/4.
my stihl 026 is about the same.

 

[zr900]

So I got the adjusting screw to turn and now it just keeps turning and can't get it to hit a stop on either high or low side.

Is this normal, and do I just line up the slot on the oiler with the marks on the case?

Thanks Again

for some reason this doesn't sound good to me

It only has a very small adjustment range... - not much more than the 1/4 you found.

You've now busted the stops off the casing... that's expensive...

Casing meaning crank case? Or oil pump casing?

How the heck could I break it using a daymn carb adjusting screwdriver?

If you are talking about the oil pump would it be PN 11286403206 and if so how much for a new one?

What would it hurt to run it like it is? The screw doesn't move that easy.

1/4 turn's about right.

The pump casing.... Pretty hard to break it with a carb screwdriver... You can break them with the scrench (if you're brual).

You can run it like it is - just hard to find the max flow position.

If you're going to replace it, upgrade to the high output oil pump. 1128 640 3250 - $86 - $4 more than the std pump.

Is there a HD oil pump for the MS360 Pro? I think my pump is going out, barely any oil coming out no matter where the adjustment is. I checked the pick up and us the compressor to try to blow any blockage out.

Thanks for the info

The hole where the adjuster is isn't big enough for any thing other than a carb screwdriver.

No.

On the 036/360... the most common problem is the hose from the pump to the outlet is broken, cut (eccentric clutch drum) or burned... (clutch dragging)

Don't use fuel hose -there is a specific hose available.

Other than that - the worm or the drive arm- bad clutch drum/bearing starts most of these problems.

Can you just replace the .8 bolt with the 1.1 bolt in the pump intead of buying the entire pump.?

Anyone out there that has put the HO oiler on and has the stock one they want to get rid of let me know.

Thanks

nope.. you also need the new piston. Still a lot cheaper if you don't have a broken casing.

Dead easy. I published a thread on replacing or upgrading the 066/660 oiler. Exactly the same process. Maybe someone can find it with Search..


Oh never mind.. here it is

Thank you. I left out the piston. Yes you are correct its cheaper, $30.00 vs $84.00.
