My 034 AV that I bought in the spring of 1979 still runs well enough for my infrequent needs. Something's still up with the carburetor after a home rebuild. I wouldn't hesitate to tear into it to try to fix the oiler. It may just be a port stopped up somewhere. If you haven't already cleaned it out, check the port that puts out the oil to the chain. May be wood or crud packed into it.
My friend buys a new hundred dollar saw off amazon every year, doesn't even bother trying to start the one he bought last year. usually sells it for 40$
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
easy fix as long as you have the proper screwdriver bits. like previously posted lots of step bested instructions online. if stihl dealer doesn't stock parts for repair contact bailey's. or if your daring, farmertec makes clone stihl parts can be bought direct from huztl.net, direct from china. IMHO stihl chainsaws are one brand worth repairing.
could be something as simple as hose on oil pick up tank is cracked or plugged with some sawdust or might need new oil pump. buy genuine stihl oil hose, vacuum hose, and with genuine or tygon fuel lines. but many of the other farmertec will revive old saw when genuine parts no longer available
