Question:
I purchased a 455 Ranger [model #966 04 85 94]and have been troubled with bar oil leaks since the first running. I took it to a local Husqvanara dealer who advised that nothing is wrong and he adjusted the oil flow screw to the lowest setting[contrary to the manual that advises the higest flow position for a 20" bar]. This saw leaks bar oil while setting on my worhbench in very noticable amounts and certainly is not oiling the chain excessively when cutting 10" oak.I have lots of experience with chain saws and know that this oil leaking when in storage is not "normal" and their "fix" is rediculous.I believe the oil pump or tubing components are at fault.aNY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ?
