Oiler on my Mac 10-10 works fine ...
... as long as my thumb doesn't give out
lol...so, your auto oiler doesn't work good either I take it?

I have an interesting issue. One of my 10-10's doesn't oil very well, but the manual oiler works fine. I pulled the B&C off and monitored oil flow while running (after I primed it manually so I know all the air was out), it seems to work some at idle but it doesn't really increase much at all when increasing and holding steady RPM's. I can rev it up and down and it really doesn't change from a slow drip. This is with the oiler set wide open (screw out as far as it will go). When I then go to use the manual one it takes a few squirts for it to prime itself again....WTF? I just primed it before but somehow air got back in the line in the 45 seconds it was running...? I then decided to swap auto oilers with another 10-10 which I know works good. I put that oiler in and it basically did the same thing. I then put it back in the donor saw where it came from and it works like it's supposed to again. It has a steady stream of oil when holding higher rpm's, like I would expect. What would cause a known good pump not to work in one saw but works great in another? I checked the check valve in the pickup line by sucking on the screened end and I created vacuum. I blew in it and it and it blew out fine.
Are there any check valves or any other valves in the passage ways of the case?
Any ideas?? Can one saw just give better "impulses" which drives the oiler better than another saw?
thanks!
JRHAWK- There is a channel in the crankcase to allow the impulse to pass to the auto oil pump, yours may be partially blocked.

Mark - Is there a check valve in that channel?

Kyle - Get serious about getting that pump installed correctly and lay it to rest.
Jim - I think you are getting too many of those 5 cube gems, please send me an SP81E and an 805. Then I will only need the Super 850, DE80, and 8200 to complete my set. I do have an extra SP81 and PM800 to offer in trade...

I picked this up for $10 at an auction a couple weeks ago in northern Wisconsin. The auctioneer was touting it as a "fixer upper". I took it back to the cabin, cleaned the very dirty air filter, and we're off to the races. It is missing the on/off switch and I have to kill it with the choke. No biggie, but I'd like to fix it. I was going to get the replacement parts but I am wondering if that hole is too damaged to keep the switch parts in place.
