XL-123 question 🤔

[Jarhead ☠]

So maybe one of you saw experts can help.
I love running the 123 and mounted a new bar and chain recently but have noticed when I pump the manual oiler the saw will bog a bit and I need to feather the throttle to bring it back up. The saw runs perfectly otherwise so my question is could the automatic oiler be allowing oil to pass and the seal be NFG? I know the original p&c looked dark so I'm wondering if that caused the initial problem.

It's possible, maybe order some crank seal and change them out, and see should be able to tell if pump is leaking, not hard to find a used or NOS oil pump for these

I noticed that the IPL also showed an O-ring between the seal and pump so I'll replace both.
