Remove the side case on the chain clutch, remove the bar and chain, clean then oil ports thoroughly, clean the chain bar completely. Empty the chain oil tank and flush it with gasoline, there's a filter in the tank the gas will clean it, put it all back together and it should work fine. I've used Stihl for 25 years and never had any other problems with the chanin oil system.

SOURCE: no bar chain oil flow

I do not know how old the unit is but usually these saws get clogged often as result of wet plants with sand or dirt and they do clog the unit…see if you can take it to self car wash and pay few $$ to wash it and air pressure everything that if you do not have them LOL…I use this as it is the most cheapest way to clean my generators, garden equipments, etc. let me know..

SOURCE: oil does not lube chain on my chain saw, huqvarna, any ideas

It appears from the IPL and OM this saw does not have an adjustable oiler.
OM example here (2005 - may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/HOUS/HOUS2005/HOUS2005_O0501001.pdf
IPL example here (2005 - may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/usa/2005/I05000/I0501901.pdf

I know you have done this, please verify whether or not you get the ooze with the saw running.
Oil System Plugged:

  1. Remove the clutch cover, bar, and chain, clean the bar groove, any holes and passages on the rear of the bar (both sides, consider rotating the bar), if equipped with a sprocket nose ensure it rotates easily at least one complete revolution. Clean the saw oiler hole and channel. Insert a blunted, hooked piece of wire through the oil filler hole and pull the hose in the oil tank out. Pay attention to the screen or filter on the free end (clean or replace, difficult to determine serviceability). Start the saw and see if it oils when revved up (oozes down side of saw). If yes reassemble your saw. If no, continue with 2.
  2. Work your way through the linkage (use IPL to identify components and locations) cleaning and replacing any defective parts as you go. Carefully check the hoses for cracks especially at bends and connections. If equipped with an oil pump it is usually behind the clutch (clutch is a left handed thread). Please make extensive notes & some digital pictures will help during reassembly.
If it does not oil on completion of 1 it is most likely a bad oiler or worm gear (see IPL). I am seeing many non-adjustable oilers malfunctions, please contact Husky, there may be an unannounced repair.

If you try the repair yourself it has an outboard clutch (oiler behind it), this will help with removal. Your IPL is also beneficial.
R² Drive Link Outboard Clutch by Drivelink.blogspot.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdqkIuVNUQc
  1. Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed. Poulan (Craftsman, Jonsered, Husky) clutch removal tool part number 530031112 if needed, is under $5 from many sources (look at the visible area between the weights if 2 small round sockets are visible you need the tool).
  2. There are metal piston stops available, when square (almost never) with the piston top these work well, if not square they have been known to punch through the piston. I suggest a length of nylon rope (nothing left behind) be used instead of the piston stop (retain 6" ± so you can remove it). Make sure the piston is near the top of the cylinder before feeding the cord or it can fall through the exhaust port and damage the piston as it rises.
  3. Everyone I have ever removed had a left handed thread (tighten it to loosen it).
The OM and IPL links I provided may not be your saw. If not yours can be found here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000; black numbers on silver tag 90s; silver numbers on black tag 80s)
15 = week produced – March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week

SOURCE: no oil flows to chain...

Depending on your knowledge and experience -
1. Find your manual and check on maintenance routines.
2. If no manual avail - clean your saw and your bar.
Bar - oil holes clear, groove clean etc
Saw - locate where the oil pumps out - ensure any guides, holes etc are clean.
3. If saw gas manual oil pump adjustment screw -advance the flow
4 Drain the oil tank checking for dirt etc and if necessary clean tank with a little of your fuel.
5.Refill oil tank AFTER it is clean and dry.
6. Replace bar/chain etc and test if flow is better
If still no good you may need to repair/replace oil pump -not that hard to do but if in doubt take it to a reputable dealer.

How can I adjust the oil flow to the bar of chainsaw?
Look-up the UT-43103 IPL. There is no provision to adjust the oil flow. Suggest checking the oil lines for loose or broken areas; also could replace the oil pump. These are very inexpensive parts. here is a link to the parts list and source for the parts.

Where does the impulse line go to from the engine block.?
There are two "impulse line(s)" on a typical "2 stroke chain saw.

One goes from the intake or crank case to the carburetor to drive the diaphragm "pump". Sometimes this "line" is built into the intake or transfer port and back to the carb by passage ways drilled into each and mating thru the gasket. The pressure pulses drive the "pumper carb" to deliver the gas, whether the upside down, sideways or vertical.

The other impulse line will go from the intake or crank case (between the carb and crank case) to the chain oil reservoir to lube the chain.

The pressure pulses (pos or neg) will drive the very simple oil pump to lube the chain thru passageways and/or tubes between the "bar oil" tank and the engine case where the chain bar is clamped to the engine. There are crossing slots in the case and bar that allow oil to flow and the bar to be adjusted in/out to tighten the chain. An internal passageway in the bar from the crossing slot to the chain groove gets the oil to the chain. Always be sure to clean these passages with a copper wire periodically as they tend to get clogged with very fine wood shavings.

The pump or gasket could be bad. Make sure you use only bar and chain lube as this can also effect flow.

How much chan lubricant should be used and what is the grade of the oil
You want to buy Bar grade oil, it is sticky and stays on the chain, it will properly lube the bar and chain with a full tank o gas. People have used, used motor oil but this wears down the chain and gears from the micro sized filings in the oil so use clean bar oil to lube the chain correctly. also if the chain sprocket has a small hole in the tip of the saw you will need to buy a gear lube pump to keep grease in the gear at the tip of the blade. This should be lube each time you fill the fuel tank and once half way threw the tank of fuel to make the bar last longer. The bar oil is a special grade of oil and requires bar oil for it to adhere to the bar and the bar guides. Hope this helps and thanks for using fix-ya.

Chain
The answer depends on whether external chain lubrication is beneficial for a chain with internal grease sealed with o-rings and perhaps how often you clean your chain. One school-of-thought believes that no additional lubrication is needed. The other believes that the sprocket and chain surfaces that do not have permanent grease also need to be lubricated. The chain manufacturers tell us that also lubricating the chain and sprocket surfaces will extend the life of these components. But a chain lube will sling-off unless designed to stick to the chain so it needs to stay tacky. Consequently it will also attract grit and road debris that, in turn, will accelerate wear faster than if you just have a clean unlubricated chain. Chain lube will also reduce power losses due to friction and shed water that leads to rust (and wear). If you live in a wet climate, you should probably use chain lube to prevent rust. A chain newly-cleaned with WD-40 will have a coat of light oil that will effectively displace water and reduce surface corrosion of the links. It's a low viscosity oil so any excess will sling off easily, but will attract very little grit - much less that any chain lube - and it will have the same rolling friction as a number of chain lubes on the market. WD-40, used as a one-step cleaner and lubricant is sufficient. Because it is a light oil, some fling-off will occur, so any excess should be wiped-off. USED REGULARLY, it provides good corrosion protection, low (but not the lowest) rolling resistance, and attracts less road grit than waxy chain lubes. So your chain stays very clean. If you aren't inclined to clean and lube your chain regularly, or often ride in wet conditions that promote corrosion, there are chain lubes on the market that are designed to stick to your chain to resist fling-off and provide longer-lasting corrosion protection. Some remain tacky and attract grit, some stay slippery to the touch. All of them need to cleaned off and renewed at some point. If you’ve decided to use chain lube after cleaning your chain, then it’s best to use straight kerosene as your cleaner because the light oil that WD-40 contains will make it difficult for the chain lube to stay attached without flinging-off.,,,
