a friend of mine gave me a homelite super 2 chainsaw that he thought was locked up to me. I started looking into what was wrong and as i pulled the spark plug out it was full of bar oil. Upon further inspection, I found a drilled hole coming from the bar oil pump and going directly into the crankcase. It is a bigger hole than the passage that goes to the chain bar, so it probably would get more oil. I was wondering if there should be a restrictor or something that should go into that hole. My local dealer just looks at me funny when i brought this in and told me he had no parts fiche for this model. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jon Holt

I have a Homelite that does this if you store it flat. If you hang it by the handle, bar hanging down, it does not get bar oil in the cylinder. Its done this since new. Its very hard to start and difficult to keep running. I have several other two strokes that I have no problems with operating but this thing is a piece pf crud that I'd throw away except someone would dig it out of the trash and suffer the same fate as I. Learned my lesson,

yup its junque! These same little pressure-fed oilers also pushed oil out for about 3 hours after you put them away & made mess of garage floor. The original Bic saw. We had one that worked fine except it blew the muffler off after 10 minutes use & nothing known to man could keep a muffler on it.

I must have gotten the only good one made, bought it used in 78, still use it today, must have put a dozen bars and sprockets on it, only problem I ever had was the small screws that hold the engine to the case stripped out. Drilled and tapped them bigger, works fine, handy saw for trimming a felled tree.

Jon
1st you have the oiling concept wrong. The hole from the crankcase provides the pressure to 'push' the oil from the oil tank to the bar.
The saw is missing the check valve that would be on the short oil line going into the tank. It lets the pressure in without the oil leaking back.
More than likely the oil & possibly the fuel lines need replacing. Contact me if you need Parts, the illustrated PARTS LIST or a OWNERS MANUAL.
