i was given a remington electric chainsaw,model # 111147-01 and i think there is a hose missing on the oiling system. I traced it from the reservoir to the bumper spikes and it stopped there... i downloaded a manual but there are no schematics or diagrams for the oiling system.
need an assist!

The ****** at the end hooks on the bumper spikes and there's a hole it plugs into.went through the whole thing from the reservoir to the oiler hole and the only thing left was the spring loaded button behind the sprocket.had to unscrew the cover to the motor(there was a cog that I thought was pressed on)and when I pulled the cover the inner part of the motor popped out and the brushes closed the gap so it's a whole new ballgame now..
I'm going to see this as a learning experience!
OK the spring loaded button behind the sprocket is the pump that automatically pumps when the chain is turning. If nothing broke you need to find a way to hold the "brushes" open so you can put it back in place. The only thing that would mess the pump up would be wear on the parts, a blockage from dirty oil (always clean the area around the fill cap good before removing the cap to fill) or the wrong oil was used (thick summer oil used in cold winter weather for example). Saw dust can often plug the oil passageways too so you need to clean it well whenever you take the cover off.
