I Just bought a very lightly used MS440 that doesn't seem to be oiling correctly. When I got the saw I noticed the bar had been hot before but just didn't think much of it at the time I figured the guy had run it out of oil, and I'm pretty sure that his elevator just doesn't go but so high. Well, anyway, the bar is still getting hot, so I took the cover and bar off of it and cleaned it as best as I could, sharpened the chain and went back to work. About half way thru a really good sized oak I'm working up for firewood it really got hot and I got pissed and quit for the day. I have a Husky 345 that just isn't enough to handle some jobs I need done and I don't want to spend a fortune on the Stihl. How much should this machine oil, and if possible, how can I adjust how much oil it puts out. Is this a common problem with these saws?
