For years my saw made a mess and leaked oil. I actually thought about putting gasket sealer on the rubber grommet holding the pump strainer, thinking it was the leak point. My bad. Thanks for the video.
No rhyme or reason that I’ve found. I’ve taken it apart cleaned the oiler an everything. Mine does it also. I just get a funnel an put in the jug and dump left over back in when I’m done.
@@4MRanch I found the leak. Its from what I think is the metal breather fitting, about the size of a small shirt button. If its a check valve, it might have debris in it thats keeping it open. I'd paste a photo of but having trouble doing that.
@@4MRanch I might have fixed it. I took a small jewelers screw driver and gently pushed the check valve in, and then again from the other side, pushing out. Did that a few times. Then I blew carb cleaner through it, both sides a few times, then I blew air through it both sides a few times. It's holding virtually steady, no leaking for 10 minutes. But I will leave it sit overnight for a better test.
thanks for the video. I am surprised that the vent plug isn't a check valve. Most of them have a spring and ball bearing in them to allow air in, and no oil out.
Thanks for the video and keep up the great work. Now I need to find a disassembly video for that new version of the pole saw. I've had mine for almost ten years and it is very different.
Really? I have to drain the oil every time I put the tool away? That's a pain but I'm glad to know it. All my oil ran out the bottom of mine. Great video.
After taking my saw apart for closer inspection , its no wonder why oil leaks out of these things. As you know, where the oil outlet nub goes into the cover, its not even a tight fit. In my opinion there should be some kind of rubber grommet on the cover where the nub goes in so that theres an oil tight seal. Adding insult to injury, the oil has to travel upward in order to get to the hole in the bar. The metal washer on the cover is machined smooth as if to mate against another smooth surface to make a seal but the washer mates against the slotted part of the bar. Its a horrible design in my opinion.
Well the good news is that Stihl doesn't make that design anymore. While there still may be some on store shelves or even at distributors they will soon be sold and the older design has been brought back into production, which was a far superior design to this one.
A Stihll nós decepcionou com este modelo mais frágil, infelizmente os modelos mais robustos eles não estão vendendo mais, a antiga ht75 éra boa, agora com este modelo de plástico aí, o material é muito frágil...

Very informative.Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
No problem hope it helped

Great video. My pole saw leaks oil when I hang it to store. Any idea why it leaks? Thanks.

@@chet3louisiana558 I know what your talking about. I’ve tried cleaning it before still leaks when stored hanging up.

@@chet3louisiana558 yeah let me know. Maybe it will work for awhile.

I have one somewhere on my channel I think it’s called sprocket repair
@@4MRanch , I could only find the sprocket replacement on the 261. Couldn't find anything about disassembly of the pole saw head.
Thank you for the video. My Stihl pole saw leaks a lot! Now I know why.
Dougie Fresh your welcome
My oil won’t come through for some reason can you help
Check the the oiler hole isn’t obstructed on the cutting head, Also check that the hole on the bar itself is clear also.
