Butch,
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I had a customr one time that kept bringing their 036 in saying it was pumping slow, we went throught it, put bar oil in and it would pump fine, customer would taek out, a week later, same thing, we would check oiler, all was good, dump out oil, check lines, put oil in and it would pump fine. Well, to make a long story short, the Stihl rep happened to come in one day and we said something to him. He asked if they were using Stihl bar oil, well it was a cheap red bar oil kinda runny, so we told him no, it was something, we did not know, said that was problem, Stihl oilers are made to run and pump with the viscosity of Stihl bar oil and nothing else will work unless it is the same viscosity of Stihl oil. I still did not buy it, but we told cusomter that, and they never did come back with the problem again after they started using Stihl bar oil. So it might be something to look at. The reason I say this is because when I did sell Stihl, we never repalced oil pumps. Now the little wire that runs the gear on crank, we did replace a few of them, they would break off and not pump oil very well.
