I own a Stihl 362CM and 461. I pulled the 25" bar off the 461 and put it on my 362CM and it seemed to work fine when I test ran it at the house. When I went to the 'field' something happened to the oil flow. I checked my gas and oil and discovered that I was only using 25% of the oil I was with the 20" bar.
What should I be looking at? Is a port blocked in the bar? Is an orifice in the 362CM blocked? How do I adjust the oil flow to max it out (the 20" bar ran pretty wet so, it's been a long time since I even considered that option)? I'm running Stihl "orange bottle" chain oil. Is it possible something is wrong with the chain oil itself which smells fine and visually looks good.
The owners manual is lacking so, any help is appreciated!
TIA,
Sid
