Fried my el chain saw?

VERY similar to the Remington. Both are 14".

Get an oil can and just drip a few drops on the chain from the top when it's moving. It'll lube just fine.

Y'know, between the three of us, we could make one good Rem!

I've heard of people using aerosol tri-flow for bar lube. Give it a spray, while the chain is running.

I pulled out the Remington the other day to cut some fallen branches that are too light and whippy for a gas saw. The case is wired together because half the screws stripped and the oiler failed, I have to dip the bar in a can of oil.

Lipstick, high heels and a chain saw? That sounds like a very angry woman! Or one of Monty Python's lumberjacks. ;-)

Ever see the sparks flying from an angy woman? ;-)

I'll go with the Python theory. That, or the Lumberjack Dykes for Anti Defamation League is in town.

Where else do you see a woman with a 20 incher?

The oiler is just a blow-molded bottle. The Remington my dad bought decades back had that bottle unshielded, twigs would whip around the sprocket end and skewer the bottle. Got real handy with a big soldering gun and strips of milk jug welding up the holes. The newer one I have has some shielding for the oiler bottle, but basically the same design. Can't really complain about my dad's, he bought it for about $15 on sale to use taking down a dead elm about 4' in diameter and 50' high. Did all the branch trimming with it, just used the gas Homelite for the trunk. If it got dropped he wasn't out much. Nice thing was it stopped pretty quick, he could tether it with a rope to the tree and drop it if he needed both hands.

Quite frankly, I've never looked for one.
