455 rancher oiler problem

sam w

So I was gonna sell this saw with the recent acquisition of my jonsered 830, but I dont think I will sell it for a price that is worth getting rid of a decent saw. The only problem with this saw is that it is not putting out any oil on to the bar or chain! The actual pump works fine or so I think because I spun the gear and oil started coming out(just a little then it ran out)! I can only get down so far into the saw cause It has some weird head on the bolts so I cant take it all apart and put a new oil line in. Anyone else have this problem or any ideas. Looking at reviews this is a pretty widespread problem! And by the way their customer service sucks!

Use a can of air for electronics,remove the oil cap and as much oil as possible,on the clutch side were the oil come out use the air to blow back thru the oiler. The next step is to get some real light weight oil and cut it with saw gas,then remove the bar and chain and start the the without the clutch cover and use short revs to see if your getting oil.

Just got my new chains in for the 830 jonsered and of course was filling the neighborhood with the sound of a screaming chainsaw within five minutes. Im gonna have trouble even messing with that pos husky now. I hope I can keep that jonsered running forever the thing is like a damn muscle car! Just so excited! I can cut logs in half in about 4 seconds! I must say it is a little intimidating of a saw but will have to spend some time and adjust thats all. What a blessing!
