Bosch AK42 Chainsaw leaking oil when stored.
As the title says, my AK42 looses oil and makes a mess.
There was a small foam strip that came away from where I assume the lubricator outlet is, but it did not seem to serve any purpose. Has anyone stripped the oil mpump on one of these?

Has anyone stripped the oil mpump on one of these? I'd guess it has what I found a while ago on one I stripped (I'm not quite sure if it was my old Bosch or my very old B&D). The oil pump is a very simple cam driven plunger type thing, completely internal so I'd not expect the oil pump to have anything to do with an oil leak. I don't think I'd expect total oil tightness in such a device because the oil is supposed to sort of fall onto the chain anyway. Just drain most of the oil out and store it in a plastic bag (the chain saw that is, not the oil!). -- Chris Green · |

I try to run mine out of oil before I store it |

Mine leaked from day one. Taking into account the sophisticated motor and mechanical adjustments of these machines it seems as if the oil delivery was not thought properly (was it so difficult to provide a way to regulate the oil flow?) It leaks ALL oil left in the deposit. (so I need to refill everytime I use it again)

Yes? Even if stored 24 hours? 😂

It leaks ALL oil left in the deposit. (so I need to refill everytime I use it again) I dare say it has lost many gallons of oil, since this was originally posted five years ago. |

Has anyone stripped the oil mpump on one of these? Most saws do, often the pump is a rotary plunger working on an axial cam, the oil can leak past the sides of the plunger, from a breather and simply from residual oil in the outlet. Store it on a newspaper. If you use OSR as the lubricant and don't intend using it for a while empty the tank and run a small amount of mineral oil through. AJH |
