Make sure you have the right gauge chain for the bar.
Are you sure it is oiling when cutting? Check the oil tank vent too.
With a new bar and chain try starting with the chain a little looser than you normally would. This helped on a saw i worked on. After a few tanks the bar broke in i guess and everything started working properly.
Check the bar oil hole alignment. Maybe enlarge it a little.
Are you picking up on the bar when adjusting/tightening it? That may help on a loose fitting bar.
