Chain/bar oiler tube loose in tank. How do I

To replace the chain oiler line on a Stihl 036 chainsaw, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the chainsaw from starting accidentally.
2. Drain the old chain oil from the oil tank.
3. Remove the old chain oiler line from the chainsaw.
4. Clean any debris or blockages from the oiler hole.
5. Cut a length of new chain oiler line to the appropriate size. The line should be long enough to reach from the oil tank to the oiler hole on the bar.
6. Attach one end of the new chain oiler line to the oil tank and the other end to the oiler hole on the bar.
7. Secure the line in place with the appropriate fittings and clamp.
8. Fill the oil tank with the recommended type and amount of chain oil.
9. Reconnect the spark plug wire and test the chain oiler to ensure it is functioning properly.

It is important to use the correct type and amount of chain oil to ensure the chainsaw operates properly and to extend the life of the chain and bar. If you are not comfortable performing this repair yourself, it is recommended to have a professional chainsaw repair technician handle the repairs for you.

I'm almost sure you have to remove the oil tank and then the oiler

you can get replacement hose for your oiler

Fill the tank. I usually fill the bar oiler every time I fuel up my saw. Could likely get two or three tanks of fuel to one tank of bar oil, but I don't like the idea of forgetting and running out and burning up my chain.

there is a breather hole somewhere you need to clean it up so you can find it probly on the cap

CHAIN OILER See Figure 18. ? Use Premium Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is designed for chains and chain oilers and is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required. ? Remove the cap and carefully pour bar and chain lubricant into the chain oiler tank. ? Replace the cap and tighten securely. ? Check and refill the chain oiler tank every hour when using an electric power head or every time the engine is fueled when using a gas power head. NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain.

Hello slehman629,

Take off the chain and bar and you can clean out the oilier tube with a piece of wire or a dull drill bit a small screw might work.It is just saw dust that gets packed in there. Thank you for using fix ya.

Remove the chain and bar assembly. Start engine--should pump oil from oiler port where the bar fits on the engine side. If oil comes out, then possibly the bar-oiling passage in the bar itself is plugged with dirt or sawdust--blow clean with compressed air. If no oil comes out from the port, check the pickup tube inside the oil tank. Drain the oil into something and fish the pickup tube end out with a hooked wire. Replace if collapsed, cracked, or loose.

Take the bar and chain off--run the engine--the oiler port from the case should discharge some oil. If none, you have trouble with the oil pump or the tubes to and from it. The oil tank may be leaking at the tank opening for the pickup tube. If oil appears at the oiler port, then there may be dirt/blockage within the oil passages in the bar end. Clean with compressed air.

this is a common problem and requires replacement of the pump. remove the bar and chain, the pump comes loose with a few screws. under it you'll see the filter which could be clogged, but not usually as contaminants are not likely to enter the tank. Small engine shops can order the new pump for you, hope this helps
