Back in my fraternity days, piling on, was always a good thing!!
Mike , I think that if you will lift the bar tip and tension the chain to no sag no drag then tighten the bar nuts to hold the bar up you will find that when you pull the chain around the bar there will be no problem .Hi guys!
Some feedback is in order. Popped in at the Stihl dealer over the weekend for them to have a look at the wobbly sprocket. Their solution? Tighten the chain up more!
So I looked at all the Stihl saws on the shelves. Guess what? ALL OF THE SAWS WITH RIM SPROCKETS EXHIBIT THE SAME PHONOMENON. WOBBLE THE RIM SPROCKET, AND THE CHAIN TENSION GOES UP AND DOWN.
So - what do you guys think? Tighten the chain up, and let rip? Please check your sprocket-equipped saws and let me know!
Yeah, but the chain is likely now shot as well on the bottom.Mine is a regular spur sprocket, but it probably needs replaced
That sprocket needed replaced 10 years ago!!
Run it like you stole it.
