I have a Poulan, although the sticker says Patriot, that decided to
stop oiling the bar. It used to take 1 tank of bar oil per tank of gas
but now it just desn't use any bar oil at all. I looked to see if
there was anything I can unclog or whatever but no such luck.
This saw uses a little oil pump, it's not a gravity fed oiler, and
according to a repair guy this is real common for them Poulans. All in
all there's probably less than 24 hours of operation on this thing. A
friend replaced the oil with gas to see if it would flush itself clean
that didn't work either.
Any other tricks or perhaps suggestions for a low tech way of making
it a gravity fed set up?
Thanks,
Bart.

Chain saw with no bar oil equals a blued bar, i.e. ruined and likely the
chain as well. Do not run the saw until the oiler is fixed. Should there nto
be a warranty for less than 24 hours use?
