Here's the thing...
Using a friend of mine's Stihl (believe it's an 019T, but can't remember off the top of my head...) today.
Started it up, and while it ran and cut good, I noticed no oil coming off of the chain (reservoir is full of bar and chain oil).
Popped the cover off, took the bar and chain off, and took a look. Oil "orifice" seems to be free of junk and is emitting oil.
So...put everything back together and there is still no oil.
I mean, I cut a good bit with it today, and everything seemed alright...but since this is a friends saw, I don't want to continually run it until I get this figured out.
My way of always checking oiling operation was to run the saw close to some white wood and observe the oil coming off the chain.
Well, this thing has NONE coming off the chain.
What's going on here??? What am I missing. "Orifice" is not clogged and all internals (inside of cover...around sprocket, etc..) are clean?
Why is this thing not putting any oil out?
