We use a couple of the same saws mentioned below, but the problem is that the oil reservoir leaks out way too fast. can't keep oil for the chain! Got any good suggestions??

I have an xl 12 super homelite and my saw has no chain oil going to the chain. Does anyone know what could be wronge with it? It still runs good just needs to be oiled regularly.
Thank you
Brian

the brass bar tightner on my xl 108 has worn down and i would like to replace it. The bolt that runs through it is 3/16 . Any help in finding a new would be nice.

If you have an xl, super 2, or 200 type saw, you can eliminate loss of oil during storage by simply loosenine the oil tank cap after you shut it off. These tanks pressurize in use and keep delivering oil until the pressure equalizes to atmospheric pressure.

This machine seems to use more chain oil than the earlier model small Homelites I've owned, but it must have a bigger oil tank because it never runs out of oil before it runs out of gas. It does not "leak" when sitting like the older ones did.

Hi Gomer, What you might do is put a piece of felt or cotton in the feed tube to slow down the flow. You might take a look at some kind of a oil cut off while the saw isn't being used. Hard to tell without seeing just how it works but you should be able to figure some thing out.

Usually the problem is just the reverse, too little oil. Remember, even with the current price of petroleum, oil is still cheaper than metal. If you will use a thicker grade of oil that will slow down the consumption. I am unaware of a fix as the oil passages are usually factory determined.
