How do you fix leaking bar oil chainsaws.

[Propane1]

I’ve got 5 saws. Quarantined that 4 of the beepin things leak bar oil. My small engine fella says. They all leak, well I can see a drip or two after using it, but not a puddle of about 2” around after sitting for 15 minutes or less. Jumpins it annoying, and my small engine fella is obviously not gunna be any help.
Any ideas, I’ve had these things apart and did clean up things. Not my favourite things to work on.
Have the Husqvarna version of this beepin saw and it has the same leak.

The only ones I have had or seen was the plastic ones that the case had cracked and had to be replaced. I have an old Homelite plastic one that is probably 25+ years old that does not leak. I had a Husqavarna a few years ago that leaked from day one. Took it back and got a refund. I resurrected my old Stihl 025 with a new two screw carb and it works fine and no oil leak. Good luck.

I thought most chainsaws have a pump of some sorts to meter the oil. Without taking each one apart and having a look it's going to just be a wild guess.

My Sthil doesn't mark it's territory!

2 Stihls and a big sears. None of them leak oil to speak of. Used to run Homelite and they leaked. Crack in the oil tank. Turn them with the oil tank up might help.

Did that Roger. That helps for sure. But they should not leak that much. Should be able to set them down normal.

I agree 100% More of that junk metal and plastic we get from China.

Partstree has some of the parts for it.

I think I fixed it. Didn’t leak all day yesterday. But I don’t know if I’ll ever trust it. Will see. Any way, I have another saw leaking and it’s a 350 husky, but the exact saw as the red max g5300. So when I try to fix it, I’ll show pictures of what I did.

I forget what I did with my Stihl 009 when it leaked profusely,,but I did something at oiling pump.
What did you do? Give it some penicillin?

Sometimes that plate under the bar will not seal against the rubber gasket that goes into the oil pump. Instead of that little reservoir holding the oil it dribbles out.

I gave up on my saws and kept a spring bottom oil can handy.

How many oil can have you "Planted" out in the timber ? ?

So. Have the husky 350 home to see if I can fix bar oil leak. Put oil in it , cause it was empty!, put gas in it. Set on the bench for 20 minutes or so. No leak. Started saw run for a minute or so to oil up bar and chain. Set on bench. After four hours had leak. So even so this saw looks the same as the red max g5300, the pump and rubber seals are different. So I won’t be able to realy show what I did to the other saw. And I’ll see if I can figure out something for this one.

Rubber O rings are what I used. Only one in the husky 350. Because the pump is different in the red max g5300 I used two small ones on both sides of the pump. Pump had little nipples so I could put the O rings on there. The rubber seals are in two pieces in the red max. Then sandwich all parts together which tightens up the rubbers seals in the saw. The husky was one piece. It slipped over the pump and then was put into the saw. So I put one O ring in where the saw body meets the rubber seal on the pump. And I used the ball peen hammer, on both saws, to tap the holes out alittle so the metal cover would draw in tight, not bottom out before it squeezed on the rubbers.

Hopefully yous get what I did.

So I ran the saw for a minute or so like I did before. Shut it off and set it on the bench. Now we wait.

I usually send the leaky ones to China! They weren't built right in the first place!

 

[Propane1]
