So, i'm trying to get my Rancher 455 ready for firewood, and noticed she's leaking a ton of oil under throttle. I have the oil pump screw all the way to the right. The bar is clean.
Here's the scenario. I start her up, give her throttle and point the bar tip down at the driveway. After about 15 seconds, I start to see my oil line showing up, but at the same time, she starts drip drip dripping from underneath. I took the bar cover off, and there is oil everwhere around the clutch. So next, I ran the saw without the bar and chain, and the rubber oiler outlet was oozing out oil pretty fast. Shut her down, remove the clutch and the oil pump, clean everything (pump, pump line, oil reservoir, everything). Put it all back together, and get the same results.
When I pulled the pump out, the driveshaft gear is angled on the end where it meets the adjustment screw. Is it supposed to be this way, or is it worn out?
