Working through an 026 I picked up.
Bucked a pecan trunk today and bar sprocket seized near the end of the day.
Took the bar off and watched some oil being pumped out of the hole. From all of my reading these automatic oilers should make a mess when sitting at idle. It doesn’t make a mess, or paint a nice line when pointed at a stump
Tonight, I disassembled, cleaned a crazy amount of crud out of the case. Pulled the tank pickup hose out and blasted air through it. Seemed ok. Couldn’t get the 90 degree hose off the exit or pump.
My next thought is to check the alignment of the holes in the bar with the pump hole.
What else can I do to trouble shoot the oiler itself?
