Hi All,

I got this Stihl 026, which I have a question for, that I hope some of you can answer.

The photo shows the chain wheel, which have "a lot" of axial play. 3mm total, but when the wheel is in the showed position it is aligned with the chain. Is this normal ?
If the wheel had +/- 1,5mm of play from the centerlinie of the chain, I could have understood it, but this is not the case.

I think that there wheel is called a rim sprocket I'm not the expert but looks worn out to me in the picture new ones are cheap I'd just get a new one you can order them online I just bought one from baileys for my 55 they do have a small amount of play but trying to imagine in my head 3mm is probably too much I'd say you're due a new rim
