I found were to adjust but do not see adjusting screw.

Any suggestions?
i dont think it would come out is there sawdust cake in hiding it?
 
Std 026 (and I think 260) were not adjustable. 026 Pro and 260 Pro were adjustable.

FWIW, my old 026 oils well. My newer 280 non adjustable is stingy, half as much oil. Maybe ok for EPA, but not good for longer bars.

wow, I learn something every day here. This 440 is the first Sthil I ever had with an oil adjustment. I checked it out and it was maxed. It oils just fine even with the big bar so I'm good.
