    Another good video Steve, if possible clean your saw after each cutting session. Compressed air is nice as it makes the job easier. Clean the bar slot as Steve mentioned, just don’t slide something in the slot that will widen that gap. Also check the oiling port hole on the saw for cleanliness while the bar is off. Always use bar & chain oil, other oil can cause issues. Thanks Steve, from the USA-eh!

    Thanks Steve!! Am working on a Ryobi 10 inch battery chainsaw that is not oiling. This video was GREAT in confirming that the oil was indeed getting from the oil reservoir to the chain through the weep hole. Now know for sure that it is a problem with the bar!! Starting cleaning the channel of the bar and was packed full of dry grass. Slow and steady and making progress!!
    Also working on my other Ryobi battery chainsaw (I have 2) that got tangled up in some hay twine that someone did not throw away.. lots of tiny little fibers caught up in the bar channel.
    I have dedicated work clothes set aside for chainsaw work-- the bar oil sure is goopy stuff.

      You guys should be ashamed! It's completely irresponsible to dismantle and work on chainsaws while drinking alcoholic beverages! I'd limit the drinking to when one is actually using the chainsaw for it's intended purpose, ideally while climbing ladders or trees.... 🚫Just joking🚫

  • @arcadiaoutlaw
    @arcadiaoutlaw Рік тому +1

    My was not working so I cleaned bar as suggested and no change but it was a bit dirty so probably good to do as routine maintenance. What I found on my saw was the filter was covered with a white substance, maybe had some sawdust in oil not sure, I’m really super careful when filling with oil not to get something in the tank. I dumped it out cleaned the filter washed tank out with gas and now it oils like a champ.thanks for video as it led me in the right direction and now I know how it works, not very complicated.

    Great video and instruction. The Sthil MS 180 chainsaw has two holes at the clutch end of the blade. Turning the machine on with no blade was a good start to see that it was pumping out oil. I cleaned out the channel on the blade with a scraper, the little screw driver that Sthil provides and a paper clip. There is a hole between the blade channel and the blade hole that was full of sawdust.

    Is there such a thing ??
