How to Repair a Super EZ Oiler

The Super EZ is a chainsaw manufactured by Homelite, a company that specializes in making outdoor lawn tools such as trimmers, leaf blowers and edgers. This two-cycle engine chainsaw runs on a gasoline and two-cycle oil mixture. However, at the base of the bar, there is also a bar oil fill container. The bar oiler is a mechanism that releases oil onto the bar and chain in small increments as the saw is used. The release of oil onto the bar helps keep the bar lubricated and prevents it from overheating while it is used. If oil is not released, the oiler may be clogged or may need to be replaced completely.
