Stihl 011 Oilomatic gushes oil!!!

[joispoi]

I borrowed my father's 011, which I haven't run in about 5 years. The thing hemmorrages bar oil. I thought that there was an adjustment screw for the oiler, but I was unable find it. Maybe it's missing? The saw is about 15 years old. Where is the adjustment screw located???

Welcome to the forum. 011's have a fixed rate oiler that works off of crankcase pressure. Get the oiler fixed properly or risk damage to the saw.

can anyone tell me what "fixing the oiler properly" entales?? It's not worth paying a repair shop to work on a 15 year old saw, I'm pretty confident that if pointed in the right direction, I can fix it.
