Hi Everyone,
I use my old trusty Stihl 041 Farmboss for falling larger trees.Had it since the early 70's.All of a sudden I'm having trouble with very little bar oil.Cleaned everything and adjusted the oil to a heavier setting.No luck.Any suggestions for me.Thank you in advance.:smile:

I always suggest dumping out the tank and rinsing out few times with fuel mix in the tank, and even running a minute with the bar/chain removed, in case it is just a
clog. But after 40 years, it probably is bad O-rings or something like that.

Here is blowup.
