Sorry but there isn't an adjustment for the bar oil. You fill it up when you fill the mixed gas. Usually when you need gas you need oil too. Its a good idea to check the level and the bar. Wood chips can clog the oiler port and the tool will need to be disassembled, cleaned and checked.
Sounds like the engine is overheating and seizing. Most of the time this is a cooling or oil problem. Check the cooling fan for debris. Make sure you use the right oil mix.
If we are talking about oil for the chain, it is an oil with a non fling addative to lubricate the bottom of the bar, not just throw off the end, if this is not available, then as thick an oil as you can find, if we are talking about two stroke oil, then purchase a good named oil meant for use in chainsaws, not out boards.
50:1 is the fuel to oil ratio. Never use petroleum oil (engine or boat motor oil). Always use a synthetic saw oil available from home centers, hardware stores and saw dealers. The bottles are usually graduated to various ratios for a gallon of fresh gas. Always premix in it's own container and shake the container thoroughly each time just before filling the tank to prevent oil starvation. Be sure to use bar/chain oil for the chain as well, and keep the chain sharp and well adjusted. Hope this helps!
Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed. Poulan (Craftsman, Jonsered, Husky) clutch removal tool part number 530031112 if needed, is under $5 from many sources,
There are metal piston stops available, when square (almost never) with the piston top these work well, if not square they have been known to punch through the piston. I suggest a length of starter cord or nylon rope be used instead of the piston stop (retain 6" ± so you can remove it). Make sure the piston is near the top of the cylinder before feeding the cord or it can fall through the exhaust port and damage the piston as it rises.Everyone I have ever removed had a left handed thread (tighten it to loosen it).
