The oil pump is a fairly simple unit, to access the drive gear and pump you first need to remove the clutch and sprocket ( the clutch is spun onto the crank with a l/h thread) check the condition of the drive gear pinion and the condition of the pump gear, with the pump removed you will find the pick up pipe from the oil tank, on the end is a filter, so make sure this is clean.

Hi Rossmac,
Both the smoke and it's lack of cutting ability are symptoms of the same problem. The Chain is dulled. Instead of cutting, it's just rubbing on the wood and heating up. It's also not a big deal to fix..
Your options are:
To sharpen it yourself, you will need a narrow round file that will fit inside the Chain teeth. Each tooth has a two cutting edges, get the file a position that matches the tooths angle of attack. Don't over do, three to five swipes of the file should do it on each surface.
You will see they alternate directions. You may find it easier to do all the teeth in one direction (skipping every other tooth) then do the other direction. Up to you.
When you are done, check the level of your chain oil. Since it did get hot, you might manually oil the chain before trying out your handi-work.
Go cut some wood.

SOURCE: chainsaw wont oil the chain and bar it is a poulan 2000 woodsman
It's probably the oiler check valve located on the crankcase just in front of the clutch. You will probably need to remove the clutch and sprocket to get at it.
SOURCE: Chainsaw bar is dry. Chainsaw is full of oil.
I have Poulan 2375 Wild Thing and auto oiler stoped working. After disassembling I found the oil pump plastic driven gear was damaged by the metal drive gear. The gear was damaged because iol pump was locked up do to dirt in pump. The replacment pickup line has a filter the pump and line kit sell for around $12.00 at Home Depot on line a simple repair for any one with some mechanical abillity.

Take the bar off and clean the grove out with something like a small flat blade screwdriver.Make sure its open where it bolts on.It gets its oil through the bolt holes.If you have a way to blow the dirt out it helps.You can try running the saw without the bar on to see if its putting out any oil.If not you will have to get to the oil pump to see if its not bad.

Re problems with oil feed on ryobi 4046C, Oil is fed by worm drive and this becomes worn. Contact Augmented Agents on 0161 477 3388 and they will assist you with necessary parts. if you don't know which part ring 01628894400 they will e-mail you blow up plan and parts list. The drive cog is a left hand thread and can be nocked off with a drift of some description (I used a screw driver held flat) this then exposes screws to access oil pump

I know I need to replace the adjusting screw. How do I do that?
