OK, Ive got a double eagle 80 (mac 800) that I got all fixed up.

Runs great, but it smokes like hell......I'm almost certain that it is getting bar oil in the crankcase.

I dont know these saws very well & have never been inside of one.

looks to be on the same chassis as the 10-10 series macs

Can anyone tell me what to look for. I assume it uses crankcase pressure to power the oiler ??

I say I am certain that it is sucking the oil, because this thing smokes like crazy & it also drinks a tank of bar oil in about a third of a tank of fuel.

Any help is much appreciated.
 
Check the Auto oiler hold down bolt as the pump could be loose or cracked from overtightening, the gasket is a rubber one of thick semi hard material.
