Default Re: Pump Trouble

I run the saw with the bar/chain off. Give it a few revs but nothing crazy ... see if the oil is coming out.

Like TreeD above says, what sort of idiots would give it back to you not working?

Sometimes the mechanism that drives the pump is busted too depending on the saw. This isn't rocket science, a very simple thing, sounds to me you been skun!

Could be broken lines, blocked lines, filter/pick up blocked, venting issue, hole in bar blocked, drive mechanism broken etc etc .... On the 440's often the worm drive craps out or the little steel arm that locates into the clutch drum is broken.
