What is the right tension for the chain on my chainsaw?

"When pulling up the chains by hand it should be able to lift up to just above or under the guide bar."

I have a fairly old Shindaiwa chainsaw, but does the automatic lubrication oil have to be a special oil?

I would like to know how to connect the primary pump and hose (in and out).Also, is it possible to do this without removing the cover?

The engine starts, but the delay gear doesn't start, so maybe the safety device is broken?
