Stihl MS362 adjustable chain oiler question

[Bocephous]

I was trying out my MS362 for the first time today. The chain seemed dry, so I first took off the bar to ensure that oil was coming out and that it was clogged. Oil was coming out, so I put the bar back on and ran it some more, but the chain was still too dry. I flipped the saw over and turned the adjustable screw clockwise. I figured it would turn maybe 180 degrees (this is my first saw with an adjustable oiler) but the screw just keeps turning. There must be a finite amount of adjustment, right? The chain is getting more oil now, but I'd like to know exactly how to adjust this thing and I have not been able to come up with any internet help...yet :smile2:.

The oil adjustment srew on this saw will only operate about 90 degrees or from minimum to max about 1/4 turn.

According to this older thread a counterclockwise turn will allow more flow of oil. I have a
MS 362 and that screw was hard to find.

The Oiler Adjustment should only turn a 1/4 from Min to Max..

This is true, counter clockwise 1/4 turn. They should come set up right in the middle. Shouldn't need more unless your using a bar bigger than 20 inch.

I run the Oiler WOT on all my saws, all the time..

The screw turns clockwise to increase,look on bottom of saw you will see - to + with plus being clockwise.
