       MS 290 oiler.

       I am working on this MS290 because the screws for the oiler came
       out and broke the crap out of everything.   On top of the oil
       pump is an elbow that comes off and I believe it attaches to the
       case for the oiler hole.   Is there suppose to be some kind of
       nipple coming off the case for that elbow to attach to.   Right
       now looking at what I have is just a flat shoulder with a hole
       in it and it looks like something was broken off.   Parts list
       does not show that area in detail.
       A pic would be great but if not then just someone verifying what
       I am thinking.

       I just did this. There is a nipple  on top right where it slides
       onto to leads to bar mount area.
       Didnt get pic of that area.

       That white top right piece slides over it on the case bar bar
       mount area. It hides up under there.

       Thanks Kevin you just confirmed what I suspected that it is
       broken off.    Looks like you have to replace the entire case to
       fix this.    I think I am returning this one to the owner.
       Oiler broken, elbow broken, worm gear, bottom half of crankcase,
       and now the plastic case.

       Can you see it in this pic Roger. White - Black o-ring - white
       pretty sure that was it.  Looks little different then the 029
       super I just did.

       I ended up fixing this saw.    I bought a used case off of ebay
       and I just finished putting it together last week.   It has been
       sitting in my basement all this time in a 100 pieces.   Saw does
       run good and oils just fine.   Just like I thought and thanks to
       kevin for showing where that elbow connected that was broken
       off.
