I blew air through it with my compressor (don't know if this is advisable or not). I didn't try to take it out in case I damaged it.There is a good clip on youtube "how to replace the oiler on a chainsaw" by eReplacementParts , I followed this quite easily but I had to make a tool to undo the clutch (bored a couple of holes in a metal plate then inserted two three inch nails ,slipped it over the clutch plate thingy and tapped it with a hammer and it immediately freed) you don't need the tool to retighten it ,finger tight is enough as the saw does the rest when it is started.If there doesn't seem to be any wear on the oil pump parts the only other thing I would try is check that the filter inside the oil tank is not clogged, you will see this clearly on the youtube clip.
Hope this helps, my saw is now running like new

I had exactly the same problem, fitted a new oil pump (£11 off ebay), no difference. I then thought, for the oil to come out there must be air getting in and wondered if this could be the problem. Under the metal plate which fits over the two bolts which the chainblade slides onto(this has to be levered gently off one of the bolts) there is a small hole about the size of a small garden pea , it has a fine brass filter on it which I presume lets air in but not oil out, this was clogged with a mixture of oil/sawdust. I cleaned it with a toothbrush and WD40. I reassembled the saw and it worked perfect. Maybe people selling spares for these do not want us to know about this ,I would think that the parts connected with oiling the chain would very rarely need replacing as they are always immersed in oil. Hope this helps.
