Chainsaw Repair

Hi, I have a562 XP, It just doesn't seem to oil the bar and chain all that well, I am using Husky Summer Blend bar oil, I have the oil turned all the way up. It seems as if I get teh chain smoking some times and there just doesn't seem to have as much oil on teh bar and chain and even in the clutch cover like my other saws. If I put it over some Cardboard oil will fling off but once again not as much as my others.


I took the clutch cover off and cleaned everything out, I also blew the bar out and I ran the saw with the cover off and on full oil it seemed to run out pretty good and with the oiler all the way down it did slow up.

SO I guess my Question is how do I make sure it is oiling properly and how much should it oil. Thanks

I know my Rancher over oils, My 450 is about perfect, My 562 and my Pole Saw both under oil in my opinion,Do I just use a drill bit? What size? any other tips?

I am running a Husky 20 Inch bar.

Oiling issues usually doesn't happen on Husky saws, if everything is in order.

If everything is clean, che culprits may be the small oiler holes in newer Oregon made bars, possibly in combination with a relatively thick bar oil ("summer blend").

Personally I like to use the Husky Veg-oil, as it flows easier and you need less on the bar and chain. 

I do have Husky Winter weight oil here, But havn't tried it out in the 562.

I did run it with bar off, Oil came out, I am unsure how much should be coming out though.
The oldest husky bar I have around here is Prob two to three years old, I do have older Stihl bars.
