Hi Lee,
Did you clean out all the oil passages and check the pick up filter and oil line?
I have a couple of old Homelites that wouldn't oil because of crap in the system. I would say that they over oil now.

The early 360's used a small mount bar like the EZ series. If those happen to have the large mount bar for the later models on them, they won't oil because the passage is blocked. One way to see if you may have an early model is to look for an adjusting lever on the end of the oil pump.

The bar on the left fits the early 360's, the bar on the right fits the later 360's. The center is designed to work with both. They are all Homelite-branded bars.

I have a friend who had that very issue with a 360.  Had a D096 type bar on it when it needed the A095.  Didn't oil at all.  That 'combination' mount bar is interesting.  I have a few of those, and just thought it was a weird D096/D196 variant.  That means I can use those bars on my XL103 (which takes an A095 like a Super E-Z or early 360).  Hmmmm...

Hi Tim,

I know this is an old thread.  Didn't have an oiler problem with this one.  See my latest entry under Homelite for my problem.

keeping OK?
