Thanks so much for this video! I have been pulling my hair out trying to work out what a "Suitable Tool" was. I tried pushing it with screwdrivers. Allen keys etc. nothing would budge it. I assumed that it would have been on a spring that you depressed momentarily to move the screw past the stop. Your video has just clarified it perfectly. Thanks!
Going to check my 362c saw oiler today for this. Hope I can increase it. Runs dry in some hardwoods it gets way too hot for my liking. Thanks for the video.
Hello, you make great educational videos. I have a question, I have a Stihl MS362 and I do not see the Screw Adjustment Limiting Pin. The whole around the adjustmet screw is very small, the same size as the head of the screw. Do you know how I can access the pin? What do I have to take apart to access it? Thank you.
Thank you for watching but unfortunately I've never handled a 362, so I'm not sure about that one. My understanding of this feature was that it was standard across their professional line, but maybe it isn't.
Thank you for this. Just got a 500i, but the manual didn’t explain where to find the darn adjuster. Furthermore, it is practically impossible to see into the hole. Ugh
Thanks a lot! I'm used to the 250 and 170 but the 660 oil setting through me for a loop. especially because its hard to reach and see. I wasn't sure if it was missing a screw. They should make that part white to make it show up
My still isn't throwing any oil at all. The tank is full but I get nothing. I've downloaded pdf's and manuals and all the info I get is "how to fill and check your bar oil." Any info would help. I have a Stihl rollomatic e mini. Thank you so much sir.
Is that pin in there for stihl to set stock flow regulated by them or government. I do know that I bought one in 2015 and oil to gas ration was exact same. That saw got stolen a year after. I bought another one and ratio was changed and stihl told me oil regulations were changed and had to be dialed back. So I’m wondering if that’s what that pin is for. I do not like the less oil I feel more damage can be done. What year was that saw you posted the video with ?
@@thomast171 I think that's their Rancher category or something like that. Their pro saws that have the magnesium tanks and a few other features are the only ones with the increased oil flow.
I can't understand the need for starving the bar of oil especially the longer ones. How many tanks of gas to bar oil do you get? Great thanks for showing us how to turn it up.
John - (you replied in a different subthread, but I will comment here in reply.) Bar-oil needs/usage will depend on a few factors: length of bar, type of wood, if one is cutting cross grain or with the grain, seasonal temperature, etc. my initial reply was that by and large, one tank of fuel should mostly coincide with a near empty bar-oil tank with consideration to the stated factors.
You can still turn the flow rate back down like normal, with a standard screwdriver. Driving that pin only allows you to increase the flow more than before
If the oils running out the bottom of the saw, you might want to check and make sure that the eyelet hole into the blade is not stopped up not allowing it to push oil into the channel
@@greatgreengoblinbear3800 my ms441c is a 2012 model and has the same problem. I've always ran a 20" bar and now I'm running a 28" and the oil isnt adequate. I've got the symbol on the bottom but no hole to access the adjustment screw. Did you ever find a way to get at yours?
