Well, I finally got at it tonight - gotta get some beetle kill trees down before they fly :(

Much warmer weather now, so I decided to try it again - the oil was very thick when I added it previously. Started right up and revved it - nothing/very little for a while, then some blobs of thick grease-like stuff flew out. Then it started oiling at what seems to be a respectable rate - though not as much as my old HD Poulan seems to do. Any tips on determining if it's pushing enough out? Since it appears to be all crapped up in there, I wonder if running a little kerosene through the oiler might help?
