To start with, I ain't no newbie, I have been running saws for over 20 years. My problem is the chain adjustment on Stihls, specifically the 020, 200T.
I know how tight the chain is supposed to be, here is the problem, when I adjust the chain to where I want it, when I tighten the bar nut, it gets tighter. I always have the bar tip on something as I do this (like with every other saw). I never have this problem with the Huskies I run or have used, and thats many.
So, I have to guess at where I think the chain will end up. Very annoying, no bash at Stihl, it ain't the end of the world, they are great little saws, but what is going on and how do I resolve it?
