http://www.echo-usa.com/getattachment/ce29299b-9364-42bb-bdab-34b0e51bb7eb

This is the breakdown manual for the 415VL, I imagine they are the same configuration

Check age of gas. Cannot be more than 30 days old.
Make sure to use fresh gas w/synthetic 2-cycle oil @ 40:1 ratio (1 gal.) Gas to 3.2 oz. Oil). Do not use old or stale oil/gas mixture. Always use the proper oil/gas mix. If you do not, your engine will suffer rapid, permanent damage.May need to replace carburetor.

hi there

noniesretrea

drain oil tank , remove drum and clutch , remove pump driver and remove pump , blow oil outlet line , and blow oil pickup line as well , clean pickup filter, - check saw bar oil hole as well

reassemble and test

clutch threads are l/h, undo it by locking crankshaft and by turning the clutch to the right while removing

dont forget the thumbs rating

The 2375's are famous for stripping the plastic gear on the oil pump. If you have ruled out all the other possibilities such as plugged transfers holes, then you will probably find the problem to be the pump. There is also a pickup in the tank but it is not accessible through the oil tank fill, you have to remove the assy. from the clutch side of the saw. Hope this helps.

check bar oil holes,
check oil tank pickup filter - should be clear, clean oil tank

remove drum and clutch, check drum and check oil pump driver arms ( could have worn or broken off and drum is not driving it around ,

check the worm part of the pump driver as well ,
remove pump oil pickup lines and outlet lines , check that both lines are clear and that the pump is not all bound up / stiff or damaged if everything else is good

i would replace the pump and reassemble , tighten clutch anti-clockwise ( clockwise to loosen it ) make sure drum cut out engages oil pump driver arms

as a rule if replace pump also replace pump driver , they are matched

Follow the steps given below:

1. Disconnect battery.
2. Relieve fuel pressure.
3. Remove tank from car.
4. Use compressed air to clean the tank, then spray with oil from an aerosol can to reduce the likelihood of combustion.
5. Use a hammer and brass drift, turn the lock ring counterclockwise to unlock.
6. Lift the tank unit upwards out of the tank. Tilt as needed to avoid bending the sender float. Fold the pickup screen if needed.
7. Look inside the tank for and sediment or flotsam that may need to be removed.
8. Unplug the tank unit to pump electrical connector.
9. Unclamp the pump to tank unit hose and replace pump and hose.
10. Install as reverse of above.

Remove the fuel fil hose,and vent hose,and remove fuel tank straps,with jack supporting tank,lower enough to remove wire connector,and fuel lines .Remove tank from under vehicle,and remove the ring retainer,and pull the fuel pump assem,from tank.Follow instructions in the box with the new fuel pump.

Several causes exist. Most likely are:
1) Clogged oil-hole in bar.
2) Clogged strainer in oil tank. (part # 530056533)
3) Unhooked pickup hose in oil tank. (part # 530038373)
4) Faulty oil pump. (part # 530071259)

Of course, check oil level and use proper bar&chain lube.

Hope this helps,

Remove the chain and bar assembly. Start engine--should pump oil from oiler port where the bar fits on the engine side. If oil comes out, then possibly the bar-oiling passage in the bar itself is plugged with dirt or sawdust--blow clean with compressed air. If no oil comes out from the port, check the pickup tube inside the oil tank. Drain the oil into something and fish the pickup tube end out with a hooked wire. Replace if collapsed, cracked, or loose.

Poluan has redesigned the oil pickup from multiple pieces, to a single rubber piece that fixes this problem as well as the leaking after shut-off. Its only a couple of dollars, and actually works
