Homelite Timberman 45cc oiler filter removal.
Original Message   Jun 23, 2011 7:33 pm
    The chainsaw is not oiling the bar.  No oil out of the oil outlet gromet.

    The oil gromet (14) is clear.  The oil tank filter and line (15 & 26) up to the outlet gromet are clean/clear. 

    Just above the screw in oiler resevoir cap is a brass filter element.  Behind it is a duckbill.  I think the problem may be there.  Either the brass element (12) is pugged or the duck bill (13) is not working.  

   The plug goes into a hole which runs to a 1/2 inch or so tube molded into the inside of the case.  I am not sure how the duckbill fits in. Either it goes through the outside hole followed by the brass filter or put in from the inside over the short pipe.  When I look in with a mirror I can just see something white up in the hole which may be the duckbill.  If it is then it must have been installed from the outside. 

   I assume the pressure for the tank comes throught the duckbill but not sure how pressure gets there.  It might be the filter allows air in which might be sourced from the flywheel fins.  It might also be sourced by a hole near the filter and air routed from somplace throgh the case to the filter.  ??  Not sure.

    The questions are:

1. How does air get to the duckbill.

2. How does the brass element come out?

    I used a bent coathanger to try pushing out the brass element from the inside but realized there was something squishey in there and probably the duckbill. 

17 - outlet gromet

19 - Oil intake tube.  The filter goes on the bottom end (not the brass element filter). 

16 - Called a oil pump kit.  It's just a plastic part with a tube on each side of the standoff.  One is for the oil tube, the other accepts the outlet gromet.

15 - Oil outlet tube (same as 19 above)

14 - Oil outlet gromet.

26 - Oil intake filter (not the brass element filter).

12 - Brass element filter.

13 - Duckbill.

Nice fix :) Back when I purchased my first chainsaw the dealer took me out back where he ran it as a final check. While it was running he pointed it at the ground and revved it, then pointed out the droplets on the ground that flew off the end of the chain. He told me to always do that when I started it up to check the oiler. I do it now without thinking, it's just become a habit, good for peace of mind. I've always used the red Craftsman brand chain oil, it shows up nicely.

Who the hell let all the morning people run things?

One tank of oil for every tank of gas,    That's the way it was always told to me,  (to keep people from running a half a tank of gas on a unoiled bar and chain)

Be sure to grease the bar tip sprocket if it has one.  If you're into the machine, clean and grease the bearing on the clutch (reverse thread to get it off)
