Got my MS 361 running again and it runs great after a bunch of carb adjustments, but after checking to see if the oiler was working by seeing if it will sling some oil on the concrete, it did pretty much nothing.
I looked at the chain and it’s got some oil on it but it’s not much and when pulling the chain off the bar, I would expect there to be some stringing from the bar to the chain.
I’ve checked the obvious, I have the oiler screw turned all the way to the max, full tank of bar oil, new oil line and filter, and made sure that the hole on the bar is clear, as well as where it is connected to on the saw, and the grooves in the bar are all clear as well as the sprocket. Anybody had issues with their MS 361 not oiling well? Maybe I just need a new oil pump? Or is this just typical on these saws with them not oiling much?
Only running an 18 inch bar so it’s not a huge thing that needs a lot of oil, just find it weird that it’s not oiling well.
