I've got an older craftsman chainsaw that isn't putting oil to the chain. Any quick fix ideas or what to look for? Thanks in advance.

to take the clutch off you can take an old socket and cut notches in it to fit the clutch and turn it clutch is left hand thread you can take spark plug out and put rope in to hold engine from turning, there should be a screw on the metal plate when that comes off there is a plastic cover you pry out to expose the metal spiral gear and plastic pump gear. the spiral gear you need a puller to take off the dealer would have to do it I think. I just gave up getting good oil flow from a poulan I use the stihl and it works excellent and a big big step up in performance my advice get a good husky, dolmar, stihl, echo or other good name brand and toss the craftsman.

Cleaned but no oil comes out. Do you need a special tool to get the clutch off? Thanks.

if it is one made for sears by poulan the plastic pump gear is probably stripped you have to take clutch off to get at it I put two in my poulan at 40.00 canadian each before I gave up and got a stihl.

One of the simple things to check is the grove in your bar. Take an old table knife and square the end on a grinder. Take the bar off of the saw and scrape out the groves realy good. You will not beleave how much junk will come out! While you have the bar off push the manual oil button. A nice blop of oil should come out. When you have the saw back together, put the end of the bar by a flat surface and goose it a couple of times. You should get a nice splatter of oil. If not then your auto oiler is pooped. Jeffcat

Some saws have a filter in the oil tank that needs change.When dirty it stops oil to bar.
