It will slowly turn over to about half the length of the starter rope, then kind of hang by compression. i compared to my new 290, and 026. Not much difference. The 026 will hang by the rope and not turn over, but I understand the weight factor. I wish I had a compression tester so you could see the numbers. Im trying to be as accurate as possible.

Here is where the oil is coming from. The hole between the bar studs. Looks like there is a jet screwed in there.

Bowtie , that is called a oiler discharge sleeve , it's number 138 in the illustrated parts list . Could the oil leak be due to a bent bar tail ?

The oil pump was turned all the way open. I screwed it shut some, now it doesnt spew oil like that. I still havent cut any wood with it, i have a new Husky bar on the way I got on ebay, Im waiting to get the new bar on to try it out and set the oiler. Then this saw should be ready for use.
