Default chainsaw oiler

I have a suspicion that my oiler for my chainsaw isnt delivering enough
oil. It does use chain oil, but just not much. Holding the chainsaw over a
piece of newspaper and revving the engine (as suggested in the manual)
doesnt produce any obvious splatters.

Ive turned the adjuster up to max but this doesnt seem to make any
difference. Is it time for a strip down? Its just a cheap Aldi
Gardenline 16 saw but its perfectly adequate for my needs.

Anything to look out for?

Could be a blockage or a stripped plastic gear in the drive. They are
usually available as spares.
