WHen I have trouble with oiling, I remove the side cover, bar and chain, then start it and see if oil comes out the oil hole.
Don't rev it out too much with the parts off.
If it's not oiling, you need to work your way back, otherwise your bar is glogged up.

Wouldn't happen to have a adjustment screw on it, would it??? I am not that familiar with Husky
Check the pick-up filter in the oil tank and make sure there isn't any saw dust clogging the intake.
Most of the time when the oiler don't work too good it is a mechanical thing, worn gears, drives or cracked split hoses on the inlet or oulet side of the pump. The only way to find out is to start taking it apart and see what the problem is.

Well, I screwed it up now! Today, I worked on the 41 to try to get the saw to oil. Things were going fairly well and I was eager to use the advise that I received from Mike-mass & Ax-man. I first took the side cover, bar and chain off, started the saw, still no oil. I then took off this little plate that goes over the bar mounts and cover this small rubber piece that goes over cylindrical piece that has a small hole in it. I started the saw again and oil was flowing through that small hole, but slowly. So, I figured that I would check the oil filter in the oil tank. At first I couldn't even find the filter or the oil tube and I figured easy fix no oil=no oil tube, but I did find one. The filter looked like a spring with a little plastic white cap on it . I was thinking the little white cap was restricting the oil flow and I would remove the cap and try it that way. In the mean time, I had removed everything on one side of the saw up to the sprocket, with had two Phillips headed bolts and possibly an Allen bolt in the middle of the clutch> I had no idea how to get those bolts out. On the other side of the saw, I had stripped it free of the pull cord/recoil cover, all the way down to the flywheel and that had some kinda funky nut on it that I couldn't figure out how to get off. I stripped both sides down in hopes of getting to the oil hose that was in the oil tank and went in to the in workings of the saw. I then find out that the saw actually comes apart in two different pieces with the gas line connecting the two pieces. I believe the engine mounts where there and maybe four rubber anti-vibration mounts that some of the bolts I had removed went in to and held these two half's together. So from here, I basically put everything back together because I had no way to remove the sprocket or the flywheel. I go to start it up, I have gas & oil in it, I pull the choke, it burps and then I push the choke in and pull the cord, nothing. I figure that I flooded it and took the plug out, dried it off, cleaned the carbon off and put it back in the saw and now it won't start period. Hope this isn't a babbling confusing mess. Any help would be appreciated!!!

You probably just flooded it, try it again tomorrow.
To get to the oil pump, you need to remove the spark plug and stick a small rope into the hole. This stops the motor from turning over. Then put a wrench on the clutch and spin it off backwards, it has reverse threads. the oil pump is under the plate, behind the clutch.
These are genral instructions for most modern saws.

I did try to let it rest for about 15 minutes or so and then tried starting it, but it didn't. I did call a small engine repair place and that guy told me that it 35$ to check the saw out and then that applied to the work thats done, but I really like to save my dough and fix it myself. He also told me something about how the oiler is crankshaft driven and that alot of people don't like them because they continue to leak oil after they are shut off (I think I said that right) . I always thought that all saws leak some gas & oil to a point? I found this chainsaw repair and service manual models thru 1998-10th edition on the net. Do you know anything about it? Seems like it would be pretty handy for stuff like this. Thanks again Mike!Mike Maas said:

Mike , the chainsaw service manual that you are talking about shows a cone shaped oil screen pickup . You need to remove the clutch to get to the pump housing , worm gear , pump plunger , and bracket . Your oil pump is not adjustable . The oil tanks that are pressurized from crankcase pulses continue to leak after the saw is shut off if the oil tank pressure is not released .
