I'm facing a problem with my M18 Chainsaw where the oiler is not functioning properly. It's pushing out some oil, but not enough, and I've already backflushed the line and checked for debris in the tank. When I lightly pressurize the tank, oil spills out, but when I run the saw without the bar and chain, it seems like almost no oil is being pumped out. I've noticed that one of my other chainsaws sprays oil perfectly, while this one just spits out little droplets. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their chainsaw's oiler?

Have you tried giving it a really good cleaning? I found that my chainsaw started leaking oil after I left the chain on without cleaning out the debris from around the sprocket. Sometimes, those little clogs can cause big problems!
Have you reached out to Milwaukee Tool for assistance? They might have some insights that can help you troubleshoot or even suggest repairs. It's worth a shot!
Yes! If you can shoot them a message directly, they should be able to provide specific information regarding your issue.
I did clean it thoroughly, even took it apart to check the motor. None of the oil lines were pinched, but I'm starting to fear that the oiler itself might be stripped. I just can't seem to figure out how to access that part.
