As long as it oils the chain properly I dont mind it leaking some, the manual even says it will. It just seemed excessive to me. I left it on a shop towel and it was almost fully soaked. At least its paper trained lol.

Look what was on the bench today! Didn't see the point for a new thread. The fil got it running for a friend. This thing is heavy and huge! What a beast. Guess it runs good

FYI......Nate you were right.....using your laser belt grinder DOES help with the oiling!!!!
I fired mine up last night but was low on Plutonium, so I finished with 600 sand paper for a smooth finish.
Today I could actually see oil on another log behind my cut coming of the bar!!!!!

Awesome. Jar944 didn't think it would make any difference but I figured it couldn't hurt to try it. If it oiled more great....If it didn't I was halfway to his full mod. I haven't tried it out. Was planning on cutting a load Sunday just to test it. I have a couple 36-40" logs that need chunked up

I have the carb adjusted as rich as it will go because of the plastic tabs that limit the amount the screw can be turned. should I cut/break them off? The only modification is the muffler has been gutted.
It won't hurt anything to cut off the tabs that keep the screws from turning. I've done it with just a utility knife. At least that way you'll have full adjustment...

I will do that when I get a chance. The oiler seems to be working better now, there's actually oil visible on the chain now. It still wont fling it off the end of the bar but its an improvement. I do have a rebuild kit for the oil pump if need be. Hopefully I can get it in some wood by the end of the week to confirm that its oiling enough for use.

Awesome thread guys, this is why I love this place.
To those who ground down your Oilers, do you have pics of the process or specs on angle/amount taken off?
I am curious to see the durability of the plastic pin on the long term with increased pressure on it.

Yeah I sheared one on an 041 removing the flywheel but that was a replaceable key. Why does dolmar cast it as part of the flywheel?
