I have a new 450 and a new 435 Husqvarna chain saw, both of them don't put out enough oil to luburcate the chain. They both have fixed oilers. I have a friend that is having the same issue with his new 435. Is this a common issue with these saws? I called my dealer and he said that the pump is under warranty, so I plan to take them to him. But after reading several reviews on these saws, I expect to keep having the problem. Is there any way to adjust these fixed oilers?
I fear you are correct about the oiler problem. I see a lot of oiler problems on these saws. Sooner or later Husky will have to address it. Ask the dealer about modifying your oiler; the 350 has an adjustable and might fit 1 or both of these saws. I think Husky needs to admit the nonadjustable is a mistake, and come up with a fix.
If you want to do some research start with the IPLs here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
Please post back (below) with what happens at the dealer. Take your buddy and his saw with you! Good Luck. HTH

If Husky starts modifying all these with 350 oilers I want compensation...LOL

Your oil is 2 thick, drain all oil &replace w/cheap transmission fluid. Put cardboard box against wall, start saw, point chain@ box and run at hi-speed. If no oil on box, clean out all passages & bar
