Remove the bar and chain after releasing the chain brake. Clean the engine case where the bar fits next to and start the engine--oil should ooze out of the port in the case. If it squirts out, there should be an adjustment screw head that is located in the rear of the case near the returning chain area. Turn the screw CW to reduce oil delivery. Clean the small oil passages in the drive end of the bar that run from the large holes out to the chain groove on each edge. When everything is re-assembled, start the engine and run it at speed with the bar tip near some cardboard for a moment or two. It should throw off a thin line of oil. Adjust the volume screw until you achieve that result. Hope this helps!
