    Thanks for the original reply.  Side tracked for AWHILE ....I eventually removed the bar from the ChainSaw (440e) and replaced the chain oil with Husqvarna chain oil.  After 1-20 sec after starting the engine, the oil was coming out of the oil "pipe" slot in the main body of the chain saw.  I thought I was on my way - NOT. With the bar and chain re-installed, the chainsaw would not spray any oil (or quite negligible amount) on a piece of cardboard. Oil may have been running down to the bottom of the chainsaw main body, but not conclusive. I checked the 18" bar part number with a local dealer.  The first part number he gave me did not match, but when I double checked with him he gave me a number that matched what I have (5089261-72).  This chainsaw offers either a 16" or 18".  All through this, I had not cut any wood with the saw, so should not have been any plugging, etc.  I have done some minor cutting since this, manually squirting some oil on the chain, and it cuts fine.  So it does not seem to be an issue with the chain/installation.  Any new thoughts out there appreciated.
