       I noticed one strange thing today.
       Carb was hard to adjust...saw smokes much. when turned carb
       screws clockwise saw would strive and die. so i made it H and L
       for biggest rpm and stil god smoke.
       Afther that i pour out chain oil and remowed oil pump. turned
       saw on and pressed trottle. no smoke and fine rews.
       that means that oil pump instead of giwing oil on chain is
       returning oil to the crankcase so the saw consumes it. gowd damn
       it i have a 4 stroke chainsaw lubricates from oil pump oil  ;D
       what could that mean  ???
       @budget...rubber gasket seams ok to me no cracks

       660, i thought that as well, but he said he 'bench' tested it
       and it worked.
       querty, the rubber may seem ok, but over time it looses its
       elasticity (rubberyness ;), and won't squish enough to seal. and
       i'm pretty sure that's the problem as to why it won't oil. with
       the lower cover gasket and the upper rubber one squished into
       their shape and thickness you are not getting the clamping force
       to stop the leak. this is also why it is smoking badly as the
       oil is getting past the bottom gasket and into the engine
       through the impuls port.
       way back when i was working at bentons farm equipment, we sold
       quite a few of those little saws (in titan colors- yours is
       probably a pm380) and when ever you touched the oiler on them,
       they recieved a new upper rubber grommet and cover gasket. no
       questions asked.
       make a new thicker gasket for the bottom cover and and flip the
       grommet over to see what happens.

       I' m not certain exactly what model that thing is .I'd about
       think with a vertical cylinder it would be one of the Italian
       made Titans .I thought they all had crankshaft driven pumps ,not
       impulse piston .

       like i said al, it's a pm380 on up tp a titan 430.
       he needs a new one of these:
  HTML http://oldmowerparts.com/McCulloch-235159-rubber-GASKET-OIL-PUMP-Power-Mac-380-430-Eager-Beaver-23-NOS-Part-New-OEM-Chain-S-P2375497.aspx
       look at his grommet and then the one in the link. notice how the
       grommet is shaped? it's squished beyond use.
       the oil pump is basicly sandwiched between the ports in the top
       of the oil tank and the bottom cover. and it needs to be a tight
       fit. the rubber grommet and gasket is squished flat and the fit
       isn't tight enough. so the pulse from the crankcase is bleading
       off into the oil tank, while the oil is being sucked into the
       crankcase.
       if he'd take a small amunt of time and do this right, he'd have
       a good little saw to run.

       I will make new gasket tomorow that is thiner than original so
       the pump is pushed harder to the crankcase maybe it wont leak
