First thread here, looking for some help.
I purchased a 6421 and cannot get it to oil.
Cleaned around pump and pump drive.
Checked the pump gear, it spins freely.
Flushed tank and strainer is clean.
Tank vent is clear and operational
Filled oil tank with gas and ran saw, it would move gas through the pump and run out the oiler hole. Filled tank with bar oil and ran saw. It barely spits oil out sporadically.
One thing that seems off to me is the oil pump adjuster. It turns maybe 1/4 turn with no clicks or divots in the adjustment range. I have it turned counter clockwise with the nipple pointing to the clutch side.
What do I check next? Thanks
