Title: oil leak Z3300
Post by: Randy on June 14, 2017, 08:00:31 am
Hi,
I have a Homelite Z3300. It has a terrible oil leak which appears to be coming form the oil intake tube, just under the muffler. Is that a common problem?  I looked to replace it but it appears that that part is no longer available. It looks like you need to pry it out.  Not sure if its repairable.  The bar oil just leaks past the part that goes into the oil tank. nothing comes out of the oil tube which lubes the chain.  I appreciate any help.

Failing that, you could always get a grommet the right size for the hole in the tank and use a piece of rubber fuel line.
