Okay I know this is an older post but my question concerns the same saw CS-310 but my problem is opposite my bar and chain is what I believe to be to dry. Picked up the saw from a neighbor of mine whos father passed. I own all Stihl saws so I am little unfamiliar with this little echo but after cleaning the carb, losing the choke lever(don't ask) I put everything back together started the saw ran it for a spell, replaced the chain went out and cut some palms and live oaks. Saw runs great nice balance and good power BUTTTTTT I soon realized the chain was dry and starting to bind. Removed the grommet blew it out, took a piece of fuel line hooked it to the end of the oil tube blew back into oil tank. left the fuel line on turned the saw upright and eventually gravity brought oil to the extension I put on. Re-installed the grommet hooked up the original tube ran the saw. Tried pointing it at a piece of plywood still couldn't see any oil but there appeared to be a little sheen on the top of the cutting teeth so I went back to cutting. I am used to seeing a lot more oil and I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestion on how to get more. I just see an endless short chain life as it is
