The oil for the chain is not flowing,and the blade seems burnt.I have removed all the sawdust etc. but I cannot get the oil to flow. Is there a part I need to replace?
If you have cleaned the oil holes in the bar and the outlet on the saw and you still don't have oil flow then you likely have a bad oil pump. The oil pump is part #308541001 and is available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com.
I hope this helps with your repair!

housing failure Question by donpate60
I have a Ryobi 10532 chainsaw. Used 1 time. Starter housing nylon gear teeth are bending the metal catch arms flat. It appears there is so much compression the starter housing can't take it. I removed the spark plug and it worked fine. Reinstalled the plug and had the same problem again. Any suggestions?
There should not be enough compression in the cylinder to require that kind of force on the pull rope. It would make me think that maybe something in the cylinder is rubbing. I would start by removing the muffler and inspecting the piston for any signs of wear such as scratching.
My only other thought would be a badly plugged muffler but I have never seen one plugged bad enough to cause the compression to elevate that much.
I hope this helps with your repair!

I have the same problem with my chain saw, stripped teeth on the starter housing and bent lever arms on the flywheel. It also has the same starting pull problem listed above. Could this be a ignition timing problem? It seems to jerk hard while pulling the starter rope.

Hi Gregg,
Timing issues would not cause this on a 2-cycle engine. There are no valves like on a 4-cycle engine. The timing is set by the location of the ports in the cylinder.
Excessive compression is almost always caused by cylinder / piston damage or a plugged exhaust. The exhaust could be plugged by the saw being flooded as well.

Ryobi Chain Saw Review by Adam
I have a model Ry10352 Chain saw. I have around 30 hours run time on this unit. The saw runs good has plenty of power with a 18 inch bar. It is fairly easy to start and stays running. My only grip is the oil pump drive gear failing at such low hours. This is the first saw I have ever had the oil pump fail on actually. It would be nice if I could purchase the nylon drive gear without having to buy a complete oil pump assembly.
I have a RY10532. The nylon drive gear for the oil pump has failed. I see no reason to purchase the entire pump assembly over a 3 dollar nylon gear. The entire assembly is 38 dollars. I barely have 30 hours running time on this saw. Let me know if they sell just the nylon gear.
Unfortunately the gear is only available with oil pump assembly. Usually when a part is made up of other parts which are not sold separately it is due to the manufacture of the tool purchasing the part from another manufacture.
Ryobi does not offer any of the internal engine parts separately for this saw. They are only available in what is called a short block. It consists of the crankcase, cylinder and piston. The short block or engine assembly is part #308556001 and is available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com.
I hope this helps with your repair!

On your saw the sprocket is part of the clutch drum. It is part #308540001.
