I have a Husqvarna 142 e-series chainsaw. Just installed the new muffler and got it running. Probably needs some carb adjusting as it doesn’t always idle right, occasionally is doggy when trying to get to full throttle, and often dies 4 seconds after chain brake is applied, runs fairly well tho. The problem is I tested the oiling by having it close to a 2x6 at full throttle for a while and no oil at all. Took bar off, cleaned it some, noticed oil you can see in pic on saw in small quantity, same problem. Any ideas?

husky bar has a small hole for oil to pass through to go directly to the rails. It clogs up on mine frequently.
Need to remove the bar and clean the bottom of the rail with a pick.


I’ll clean the bar better with a pick like that then. Thanks.
Good video, thank you, if cleaning with pick don’t work I’ll look at that
 
not all that familier wit hat pump but looks like the drive gear on the pump would even make contact plus your line looks like it is full of sh#t - if it was ever run with canola oil and sat for quite a while it turns into glue if not run with real oil before shelfing it- usually you can smell it- like burnt linseed oil. any play in your bearing?

Dying when engaging the brake is often a sign of an air leak.
 
The bar doesn't have a oil feed hole ....
It could have a single hole or double on the other side, but good catch.

After looking at the bar again, OP, you're either tightening your bar nuts down way too hard, or you're missing a bar/clutch-cover plate. This could also be affecting oiling.
