Quick background - My dad has been cutting wood for quite a while using a McCullough chainsaw. He recently decided to get a MS 250 instead and it worked great the first time out. Since then he has had nothing but trouble. He can't seem to run the saw for any length of time cutting logs thicker than around 15 inches. Basically after 10 minutes or so the bar and chain get so overheated it stops. He has done a number of different adjustments attempting to get it to run correctly and just can't do it. He also seems to think it is oiling properly.
I did a search and noticed some people have had some problems with the oiler. Is this pretty common in the MS 250? If so what can he do to fix it? Does anyone else have any other suggestions on what they think might be causing the trouble?
He has taken it into the shop twice and they can't seem to help. He mentioned tonight he might just set it on the driveway and run it over. He is quite frustrated.
Any help would be appreciated.
