Sorry not had much to do with the Stihl top handle saw, however washing the tank out does not always clear the suction filter on the end of the hose, i think you will have to remove the pump from the side of the saw and clean out the oil ways properly, there will also be a gear driven by the sprocket, check this for wear.
