husky 2100 oil problem

rivahrat · Jun 8, 2005

the oil in my 2100 just runs out of the oiler when not in use. i have the pump set on the least amount of oil. i know some may work its way out but i was just wondering if this is common on the old 2100?

Does it drain the tank ? Or is it simply a little puddle? A small puddle may simply be the oil remaining on the bar draining out while it sits. Or it could be that the vent is slightly clogged and it allows for a small amount of pressure to build in the tank, which pushes some oil out. This is very common on lots of saws and while it is annoying is rarely a cause for major concern as long as the saw is oiling well. Otherwise you may have a leaking gasket or something else in the pump is allowing the oil to leak out.

my 2100 leaks oil also but doesnt drain the tank, i just store it in a position so it leaks less- minor detail - i wouldnt worry about it, oil is cheap. you can get poulan oil at walmart for $2.50 a gallon.
