1 take off the bar and chain look to ensure the oiler is clean and not blocked. Start the engine and run looking for oil to drip from the oiler.
2 I use a chain Gage to run the length of the bar to ensure there is no build up of oil and dust gumming up the bar.
3 Mount the bar and chain start the saw and run it up to full throttle. Point the tip just slightly off a fresh cut wood surface and watch for oil throw coming off the tip.
If those all occur then the chain is being oiled properly. Burning on the chain can be from a dull chain. Look at the chips, they should be large and uniform. No Oil on th enchain would likely have resulted in a lot of smoke and burning of the paint on the bar by the end of one tank. The oil is going somewhere my bet is that you have a dull chain and it is over heating from excessive cutting friction.
