Thanks for the response!
Same as I’ve done on carb screws I guess. New slots are easy to make though this screw may not have enough meat to do so. I must have heavy handed it with a larger slotted screwdriver when it snapped off. That’s unlike me.
That has nothing to do with bar oil leaking, it just sets how far the oil pump piston can travel.
I would say at times half the tank’s volume would spill out. Not often at all. Moreso it’s like 2-3 ounces. So it appears I have another issue at hand then as you surmise. I’ll have to clean it up and closely monitor the leak. I was able to close the set screw completely and I refilled the tank leaving it on my work bench on top of some towels. I also had removed a generous amount of oil soaked dust.
You have other issues. The set screw doesn't limit oil flow, it limits the oil pump piston travel. A few ounce puddle could be normal, but I'd suspect you have other issues if your pushing half a tank out. Before storage try popping open the oil tank cap to let it vent with the storage area. Won't really help much if it's being stored outdoors with temp swings, but if it's in a temp controlled area it will most likely solve the issue.
I have a Husky 385 XP that has a wire that goes through the adjusting oiler screw, well the screw broke and the only remedy now is to replace the oiler unit. Gonna be a shitshow !
