Broken saw!

My 372 oiler adjustment screw broke off this small piece! This spring came out and now I can’t get the screw too go in I assume the oil piston is in the way… has anyone had a problem with this and know how to fix it?

You are probably going to have to replace the oil pump.

That’s what I was afraid of

It's not that difficult. Probably find a YouTube video about it. I put one on my 365, basically the same as a 372. It takes a bit of finagling, but it can be done without taking the brake band off.

It is not that difficult to replace the pump. Once you get the clutch off, push the chain brake lever forward so it is easier to move the brake band out of the way to get the oil pipe out. The hardest part is putting the e clip back on to hold the sprocket on without it flying off into some remote area under your bench

Those E-Clips are inexpensive. Pick up a few extra at the HW store.

Suit yourself, but you can get those pumps for less than 15 bucks on fleabay. Yes they are chineseium knockoffs but they seem to work fine.
