remington 5520

Remington rm5520r rodeo. Guy says it uses 3 + tanks of mix to 1
fill on bar oil. I know to look for the common stuff. Just
wonder if anyone knows anything about the oilers etc. Nylon
plastic worm gears etc?

From link. Automatic oiler provides consistent lubrication to
the bar and chain while the saw is running.

If the Remington saw you are talking about is basically the same
MTD made product for Craftsman then I might be able to provide a
little perspective. I bought mine new in 2005 from Sears for
$179.00 I think it was. Didn't need just wanted due to the cc's
this saw had. Right off the bat I noticed this chainsaw refused
to oil the chain adequately. I never really took this chainsaw
very serious after that. There is some adjustment screw for the
oiler on the bottom of the oiler mechanism which no matter what
way it get turned does not change output of bar oil. Barely
mists the chain after like 5 minutes of messing around with it
running the other day. Too bad, the power head seems to run
pretty good and has nice power. Although I have not replaced
the oiler, I performed some fairly extensive research online
about the oiler problem a while back regarding the problems with
these saws and the results I have discovered were similar to
mine. I have since relegated myself to the fact that the only
future this chainsaw has is a power unit for a Lewis winch one
of these days when I come across a good deal on one. Also, I
have not messed with or replaced the oiler on mine, you may
attempt to fix the bar oiling issue, and if you are successful I
would definitely be all ears to find out what fixed it for sure.
Maybe later production oilers on these units may have somewhat
fixed the issue, or apparently not?

Thanks for info. That is what I have been reading too.
I am trying to help someone through emails, so they dont have to
bring the saw in to me.

The one thing I have not tried or done is dilute or thin the bar
oil.
Owner's Manual:
HTML http://dl.owneriq.net/6/63845e93-f5b5-8c74-c535-6abaf291506c.pdf
McCulloch Branded version of this chassis (4600, 4900, etc.)
shows the best breakdown of the oiler parts. Yep, the oiler
shaft gear looks to be made of plastic.
HTML http://www.manualslib.com/manual/466151/Mcculloch-46.html?page=4#manual
Page 12 contains the procedure for bar oiler adjustment on the
Craftsman version. I think it is provided to control how much
oil is to be leaked onto the bar during operation ::)

Great chainsaw starts quick. I've run sthil chainsaws for years.
For the price and quality of chainsaw you can't beat it. Cut 5
cords in one day and never had any problems had to tighten chain
because like any chain they do get lose and that is how they
come off. Like any saw if you check it over after every tank of
gas and let it cool after 1 hour or 2 of running your saw will
last. Follow the proper procedures on cleaning, starting extra
and your equipment will last.
