Bought a "rebuilt" saw off ebay. Not something I usually do but it is what it is. Picked up a bar and chain and had it out this weekend. Seemed like it wasn't oiling much but I turned up the oiler and thought I had good oil. After a minute of cutting I was clearly wrong. The motor bogged down and I shut it off. The chain wouldn't move until it cooled down.
Pulled the bar and chain off and the oiler is pumping but the housing behind the plate is damaged and not making any kind of seal. I pulled the bar studs and filed the area flat but now when I run the saw the chain seems to be fine for a moment but then starts to bog and smoke even though it's wet with oil.
I contacted the seller about the saw (bought 90 days ago so we'll see) but did I toast the bar and chain? Or is it still not getting enough oil? It moves fine when it's cold but gets tight after 15 seconds or so of running.
