well I just put the sxl-925 back together....re-ring,gaskets,fuel lines.
I started it up and ran it for awhile trying to get the carb adjusted...and bar oil is flinging everywhere?
It runs right off the bar...and drips a puddle for a few minutes after shutting it off.
It didnt do this before...although it been almost 2 years since its run.
Does the manual oiler need new seals?
or is there an adjustment thats off?

There isn't any adjustment and it is a positive displacement pump so keep in mind that even at idle, without the chain running, the pump will still be active and oil will build up in the bar channel and other places so what you see may be normal. Oil is fed to the bar through the hole in the bar but the drive links don't reach the bottom of the bar channel so this also will contribute to "dripping after off."

interesting.....it seems excessive...but maybe it will be different when running it thru wood?

There are several check balls in the oil system that can cause bad things to happen if they get blocked or stuck open by debris. Also, the wrong or missing bar plates can redirect the oil to the floor vs the bar groove.
Just some random thoughts...

When in the log, you shouldn't see any oil, as it'll get sucked away by the chips. My thought is the pump on the SXL 925 is setup to oil a 36" bar, and that needs some oil. |

I'll have to look into the stuck check balls....maybe from sitting around?
The thing is a definate beast...I ran it thru some 20" black birch yesterday...hooked the dogs and cranked on the handle...couldn't kill it...hardly even bogged it down.
What a difference from my Dolmar 5100s with an 18" bar ....even the husky 455 w/ 20" bar struggles a bit.
The old Homelite just hunkered down and growled thru it...even with a completely toasted chain....my brother just stood there shaking his head....I think I will give up on my search for a big 'felling' saw...this baby does more than enough!!.
anybody know a good trick for the in-tank fuel line install?
I put a new one in ...but apparently I messed it up...when the tank gets down about a 1/3 it sucks air...suppose I will re do that.

I needed a fuel line for my XL-903 and ended up using an XL-12 fuel line. I cut the heavy end back just to the "molded grommet" but I had to trim the tapered end of the grommet a little so I could get it pushed through the tank hole. The rubber they are using for this replacement fuel line is pretty stiff stuff. The 903 works great and no fuel leaks so what can I say but  The auto oiler has its own pickup and so does the manual oiler so I doubt if check balls will affect flow but you never know. The check balls are there for the manual oiler. Craig |
