36cc; model number 358.350370. The problem I'm having is the saw motor is leaking an excesive amount of oil. The bottom of the carrying case has a pudle of oil in it. I don't know what the problem is. Can you HELP me????
On this saw I don't think there is any adjustment on the chain and bar oiler. It is normal for these saws to leak a fair amount of oil back off of chain bar and sporocket after use. As long as it is cutting good for you I would not worry about it. It may help you some if you make sure that the chain,drive sprocket, and chain guide are kept clean so there is less build up of sawdust to gather oil. I am happier with a little too much oil as opposed to not enough as it will extend the life of your bar and chain. Thank you.
Sorry I forgot to mention this but make sure that the oil cap does not have a small crack or torn threads on it. Thank you.Sorry I forgot to mention this but make sure that the oil cap does not have a small crack or torn threads on it. Thank you.
