Tomorrow I am going to pick up a 5000 that the guy says runs
great but the oiler has stopped working.He says he paid $200.00
to get it fixed awhile ago and now it has stopped again ,he does
not use it anymore and is willing to part with it.What do you
suppose the problem is? I will look her over when I get it home
but really dont know what to look for ,for oil problems any
advice?

Oiler issues were common on these after talking to a dealer that
sold them local. I have fixed a few in the past also for
others.

There was a service bulletin in 1986, I think, which updated the
oiler gear on the crankshaft and the oiler itself on the 490.
Did Partner have the same update? My 490 does not put as much
oil as I would like and I do have the updated oiler. How can
you fix/improve and oiler?

All I know is there is black and white plastic colored oilers
and some are coarse and some fine and you have to make sure not
to mix them up with wrong worm gear.
Updated part number for partner 5000 worm gear puller

I found on my 500, that it provides the most oil to the bar when
the adjuster is turned fully counter clockwise.

I will look at it when i get it ,but if the worm gear needs to
be replaced I have read I need a special tool to remove it from
the crank shaft is this true ,or is there another way to remove
it? To be honest I have never seen one . In my service manual it
says i need a tool.

Yes, you will need a special tool. I messed my old one up
trying to get it off with heat. It screws over the threads of
the oiler and then you either pull it or by screwing it on it
pulls it off.

Well as it turned out I did not have to remove the worm gear
after all. I worked on the saw that I bought yesterday ( a 5000
$65.00 ) that the guy said he gave up on after the oiler quite
for the second time about 4 years ago. She had so much
compression it reminded me of when I bought my first 5000 plus
new.So I put her on the bench last night and started to take off
the clutch to get to the oil pump,and I decided to check
somthing out first. Sure enough he had the oiler shut off. New
fuel lines, tank vent hose, Gas and I got rid of his old oil way
to thick for my liking. Then started her up shoots about a tbl
spoon of oil every 3 sec or so and runs great. I bet this saw
does'nt have 4 coards of wood on it.
The second saw I bought the night before was a 500 that a tree
fell on ($40.00) had a broken "D" handle ,Carb, plastic pulse
tit that goes into the base .Put some of my spare parts on her
and man dont she cut good runs like a top.
Also today I took a spare 5000 plus jug and piston and an old
5000 base,carb,replaced a broken flywheel, clutch and coill and
built a 5000 . It runs really well and looks like factory except
I had to use a black chain brake cover. I guess other than time
this one is $ 0.00 invested.
Tomorrow I think I will dig into the spare bases I have and
build a 500 as I only have the pieces right now for a 500
handle. So that makes 4 5000's and 2 500's I have some really
nice working saws.
