Hello all;
I just picked up a 240 (traded for a weedeater). Runs well and the price was right. It is missing the oil pump - from reading the other posts on the board this may be a problem...
I need an oil pump assembly for the saw...anyone have one they would like to part with? Or suggest another saw which would have a similar one which would work?
Also, could someone take a picture of their internals and send me the location of the oil pump? I don't see where it would mount inside the carb cavity.
Thanks in advance, Steve.

If ol'Zipper can't fix you up, try LMT37 or Edge and Engine(E&E).
I have heard that the oil pump parts are getting hard to find. Good luck. CSW

Thanks OldZip.
I totally lucked out and found three - from the same person. It wasn't listed; I just went a round-about way and found them. Never know what you will find until you ask, I guess.
So - when they get here I am sure I can make one good one from the three.
Since they are so rare I am sure they'll be worth about $1000 each eh!? Haha.
Steve.

I think I have a few 240's in my "special" pile of saws that I keep around just for this purpose. I don't know what shape the oilers are in, or if they are even on the saws. If I get a chance I will dig them out and see. |

I found three 240's. They all have the oilers in tact on them, but I don't know if they squirt or not.

Count me in on this thread, I've got a 240 with a very finicky oiler as well. OldZip, if you ever figure these piles out let me know. I put a new diaphram in my pump and it sort of worked for awhile, kinda half a$$ though, and now i cant get anything. Of course that could be because it was fairly cold when I tried to run it last, but I also think it needs a new "impulse line" (i guess thats what you'd call it) as mine is a little crushed where it turns to connect to the oiler itself. I guess that'll be my next move, but these things do kind of suck.
