If I run it without the chain on, oil comes out of the 'port' just fine. I put the chain back on and run it to check for oil spray and nothing. Take the chain cover back off and it's all oily under the cover. New chain, new bar (oil hole not clogged).. as in never been used before new.. It wasn't oiling with the old chain/bar so I pulled out my new spares. Also the oil isn't coming from 'under' the pump, the little rubber seals are fine. It's coming out of the 'port' but somehow the chain isn't picking it up.

I'm pulling up on the bar when I tighten the chain cover.

Only thing I can think:
- The new chain is a Oregon 72LPX072G and the bar is the Rollmatic E 3003 008 8921. When I put the chain on the bar (not attached to chainsaw) and look into the oil port on the bar, the link only goes about half way down.. Is that normal or is this a wrong chain? See pic cs..

- Only other thing is that the surface between the port and the bar has warped and oil is squirting past instead of being picked up by the chain...

cs2- oil coming out after idling 15 secs (yes, I put the screw back in)
cs3 - oil under cover after running with chain on for 15 secs
cs4 - oil on bar after running with chain for 15 secs

Thoughts?
Thanks!
