First off, Thank You all very much.
The saw is cleaning up very well.
PV Hiker, I did get the PM [emoji1303]
HarleyT. Thank You and how close ?
I ride quite a bit ( FL Springer ), so there’s a good chance I’ve been near you.
I flushed out the fuel tank and oil tank today, then put some more kerosene in them and I’ll flush one more time.
I’m gonna finish here in a day or two. And I’ll get some more pics [emoji1303].
My only regret is I didn’t join here earlier.

I have the bar and chain off. Got them soaking. Brushed everything but the air filter with kerosene and wiping down. I blew out the air filter best I could from the inside and wiped down the outside.
So far it’s all cleaning up good. And I’m really thinking the hole in the bar and the opening to the top groove was stopped up.
More pics to follow. [emoji1303]

That could have been one reason you felt the bar was not being oiled. Keep the hole and grove clean. When you put the bar back on...flip it over to wear the other side more.

While you have it torn down Bob pull the chain brake cover and clean. (see pic) Nice looking red lever saw. :rock2:

Ok, follow up time:
Flushed both tanks one more time. The pickups in both didn’t appear bad, so I thought I’d finish cleaning everything up and test run it.

Next cleaned and installed side

Filled bar oil tank and added fresh fuel.
Oiled up the choke and throttle mechanisms.
Gave her a few pulls in off position to get everything moving.
Choked and started on the 2nd pull.
Left the bar off to check for oil coming out of hole.

Viola.
Installed the bar ( clean as a brand new one ) and chain.
Fired back up and appears to be oiling once again.
Much thanks to all who have helped me. The parts and service manuals were also a great help.

Thanks[emoji1303]. The book just said “ bolt and rubber bushing. “ I didn’t disturb it.
