I have a Stihl MS 260 that I purchased in 2003. It is not the Stihl MS 260 Pro which has an adjustable chain oiler and a compression release. The oil pump is not oiling the chain very well and if I cut a limb that is greater than 6 inches in diameter the chain overheats. I took the clutch apart and dismantled the centrifugal parts to get to the small hose from the oil pump to the slot in the bar mount but could not figure how to remove the rest of the clutch from the flywheel. The hose did not seem to be the problem. I have two questions.
1. How do I remove the rest of the clutch to get to the oil pump?
2. Will the adjustible oil pump from a Stihl MS 260 Pro fit my Stihl MS 260 and if so where can I get one?
I have read somewhere that the MS 260 has a plastic pump that wears out quickly.
