If your chainsaw isn’t properly lubricating or you notice a decrease in its performance, it may be time to replace the oil pump. Fortunately, changing the oil pump of a chainsaw is a straightforward process. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth replacement.

What You’ll Need

  • New oil pump
  • Screwdriver
  • Socket set
  • Clean cloth
  • Replacement chainsaw oil

Step 1: Preparation

Before starting the replacement process, ensure that the chainsaw is turned off and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Lay the chainsaw on a clean, flat surface to work on.

Step 2: Accessing the Oil Pump

Locate the oil pump on your chainsaw. It is typically located on the bottom side, near the chain and bar. Use the appropriate screwdriver or socket set to remove the screws that are securing the oil pump cover.

Step 3: Removing the Old Oil Pump

Gently remove the old oil pump by lifting it away from the chainsaw body. Take note of its position and orientation for easy installation of the new pump.

Step 4: Cleaning

Use a clean cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the area where the old oil pump was installed. It’s important to ensure a clean surface to avoid any potential damage or contamination.

Step 5: Installing the New Oil Pump

Take the new oil pump and align it with the installation area. Ensure that it is positioned correctly according to your notes from the old pump. Gently press the oil pump into place until it fits snugly against the chainsaw body.

Step 6: Securing the Oil Pump

Using the screws you removed earlier, reattach the oil pump cover to secure the new oil pump in place. Make sure the screws are tightened securely, but be careful not to overtighten as it may cause damage.

Step 7: Refilling with oil

Refill the oil reservoir with the appropriate chainsaw oil, following the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines.

Step 8: Testing

With the oil pump and cover securely in place and the oil reservoir refilled, reattach the spark plug wire. Start your chainsaw and check if the oil pump is functioning properly by observing oil being sprayed onto the chain and bar. If everything seems to be working as expected, you have successfully replaced the oil pump.

In conclusion, changing the oil pump of a chainsaw is a task that can easily be accomplished by following these step-by-step instructions. By ensuring proper lubrication, you can optimize the performance and lifespan of your chainsaw. If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns, it’s always recommended to consult a professional.
