Question for G Beranek

[Big A]

The manual oiler pump button on the 090 is on the RH side of the back handle as you well know, my question is........ is there a comfortable technique for pumping that oil thru, I'm using my forefinger on my right hand to depress it, not the most comfortable method, just wondering if you have any tips?

[Burnham]

Thought you told me it was on the right, Andy? Left should work alright, shouldn't it? That's how it's arranged on my 084.

Or am I all confused again? :)

[Big A]

D'oh cheers for that Burn, youre right its on the right!!

[Big A]

Put it right now B :D

[Burnham]

OK, now we have that straightened out, where's Sir Beranek to 'splain how you make it work? :D

[Frans]

You must have a 090 direct drive.

Here is a pix of my 090 'G' which stands for gear drive.

The oiler is located perfectly....

Reach across with your left hand and wack it with the heel of your palm.

Sorry for being late. I was at the Milano tipping a few.

The manual oiler on the 090 is an SOB, but not totally unforgiving. It does its job, but you got to be switch hitter to keep that chain lubed. With the long bars and big cuts it wasn't so difficult because you would be changing hold on the saw every minute or so. Oh, it was grusome. Hurts to even think about it.

When I first aquired the famous 090 from Baileys the oiler was airlocked. I had to prime it by giving it CPR. Put my lips to the cap seat and blew on it hard til oil reach the pump. It was an 090 blow job.

Oh yea ,now the price goes through the roof. Butch sold his too early and too cheap.

[Paul B]

I figured 2300 bucks was a bit spendy but heck, if a fella wants something that is low in supply but high in demand...

[Big A]

Reach across with your left hand and wack it with the heel of your palm.

Hmmm thats how I ended up doing it, but just wondered if there was a better way?

[GASoline71]

Back in the 80's when I was in High School... you could walk in to a pawn shop in the "logger towns" and find 090's for 200 bucks.

Wish I could do a time warp...

Hell yah, I'd buy property, saws, and a frigging convertible 442.;)

[gf beranek]

Big A, you just gotta be ambidextrous.

[gf beranek]

Thanks, Butch!

[Big A]

Big A, you just gotta be ambidextrous.

Think I can manage that!! Cheers for ya help.:)

[MasterBlaster]

Thanks, Butch!


Ha, I do it all the time but most don't notice it.

You should download spellcheck. (http://iespell.com/download.php) It comes in handy.

It was an 090 blow job.

I pride myself to be a chainsaw nerd of larger proprtions.
However I am no bigger man than I can see myself beaten!

I bow for you!

Chainsaw sex....

:P:O:lol:

[RIVERRAT]

The 084 they at the place I worked for a while didn't oil worth a crap.

While making a stump cut some one woud dump oil on the bar straight from the jug. I was told it had been in the shop twice

That's bad.... double bad bad. Had a boss that did it too. I could never bring myself to do that. If it didn't work,, it didn't work.

"You know your're a redneck when you lube your bar and chain direct from the jug!"

[Magnus]

I know a couple that used to have a bucket old used engin oil and dip the bar/chain in it once in a while..

[Al Smith]

Hell yah, I'd buy property, saws, and a frigging convertible 442.;) 442 eh.Had one,1966, black.

[Stumper]

A dish detergent bottle full of oil is very nice for supplementing when stump cutting with an inadequate oiler. One of the nice things about Huskies and Dolmars is their provenance of copious quantities of oil.

No need to rub it in to us Stihl fanatics, one post would be enough.:D
