I have a McCulloch MS1838AV chainsaw with an 18" bar. However, the
auto-oiler isn't working so well. I have cleaned the passages in the powerhead, as well as the bar passages. I have also snaked the pickup tube and checked the screen as well. After all of this, the oiler doesn't seem to be working well. Any suggestions that I can try before sending it to the shop? thanks in advace. :cry:
 
u seem to have covered all the bases. take the bar off and run it . if no oil comes out. the oiler is just not working. shop time.
 
If you've checked that the hole in the bar isn't clogged, that the hose isn't clogged, and that the pick up in the oil resivior isn't clogged (which it looks like you have done) then I guess it's not pumping, and it needs to go to a shop. (I think)
