Hello all,
I just purchased a new Stihl MS 250 16". I've ran it twice and it doesn't appear to be oiling properly. I've been cutting some freshly cut wood (really wet stuff!).
My cutting sessions have only been about 10-20 minutes. After the first session my chain was bone dry, 2nd was a little better, but still not looking oiled enough..
I haven't been running the saw full tilt as per owners manual, so I'm wondering if the oil pump doesn't kick in unless the rpm's are cranking? After a good cleaning, the oiler works just fine.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
I'm using Echo oil
Thanks,
