I stumbled on to this from Magnus' site .A little blurb concerning an old 08 Stihl .
It seems they once made different pump pistons to increase or decrease oil flow . So I says to myself,self perhaps it's as simple as shortening the pump piston to increase the flow on wimpy Stihl oilers most people as less than thrilled with .
If I get time today I will dissect an old pump from an 042/048 and further investigate this possibility .As far as I know the actual design of a Stihl gear driven pump is pretty much the same on every one of them ever made .The method they are driven by might be different but not the actual method the pump operates on .
