NO Automatic bar oilers

[Wow]

I have a friend that bought a 50 + / - few bucks Worx 305.1 Corded Electric chainsaw.
OF course it has a Manuel, Thumb Pump oiler. The little saw cuts small campfire limbs pretty good but I ABSOLUTELY HATE those bar oil systems. Out of curiosity I read the reviews on Amazon. Wow! You wouldn't believe it. There are people SAYING it has Auto oiling. So I decided to post a question about the oil system just to see what I'd get. I'm amazed. Half say, it's Automatic some say it's a great saw. Why? Or Who? Actually believes those Primer bulb thumb work out oilers are a good idea?
I like PLEANTY of oil on my bar. I've heard people say some saws over oil. I've never felt that way. To check my chain I pull the chain away from the bottom of the bar (with saw motor not running of course) and look at the Drive Links. If there is no oil on the drive links (IMHO) that saw IS NOT oiling enough. When adding long bars to two cycle saws I've actually opened the bar oil hole up a bit to make sure the saw really oils well.

A friend has the Echo CS-800, it’s got automatic and manual oiler if there’s need for more. Love it, and wish it was available for my 650 and 441.
It’d bug me to run a saw that was only a manual oil pump.

Almost always, an auto oiler is enough for me, except when cutting stumps as low as possible. I keep an old dish soap bottle with oil in it and squirt some on the chain regularly when ALAPing big stumps.
I’m pretty convinced every warped long bar I’ve encountered at past employers was caused by the bar getting sizzling hot when cutting stumps. That and leaning on the dawgs with as much force as one can muster. I baby my bars that are over 20”, and they seem to appreciate it.
