chainsaw question. bar/chain oiling.
i have an ECHO. it runs great and cuts fast and furious. i dont know if i just never noticed before, but it seems like most of the bar oil seeps out the bottom of the saw near the main sprocket. the bar flings very little oil.
i took it in and the guy turned up the oil dispersion with that little screw on the bottom. he told me to take it home and blast it with my air compressor. i cleaned the bar, the oil holes in the bar and the body of the saw. also gave the air cleaner a whoosh of air. compressor works great on cleaning. i used to wipe it with a rag like an idiot.
it runs and revs like a little devil. but so much oil seem wasted out the bottom. is it supposed to oil the bar, or the actual teeth of the chain?
