Echo CS-330t excessive bar oiling

[Tim Nakashima]

Hi, I just picked up a 330t the other day and after cleaning it up and running it, I noticed there was a LOT of bar oil running down the bar and getting everywhere. I turned the adjustment screw all the way down, wiped the oil off, and ran it again. I got a nice, fine spray coming off the tip of the bar/chain, but still had some running down the length of the bar and dripping off the bottom of the saw. It appears it's all coming from the bar oiler hole, but that there's just too much coming out or that there's too much of a gap between the hole and the bar. Is the adjustment screw bad, is this normal, or is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks,
Tim

I have an Echo CH 400 that I just bought and does exactly the same thing with the oiler screw all the way in. Maybe it’s an Echo thing, I
don’t know. Just seems like an awful lot of oil.
