Easy enough for the OP to check that.My memory is bad but seems like I had one acting similar with a bad bar.

From what I remember mine was tricky and only showed up when the bar was pretty much only did it with the bar buried.Easy enough for the OP to check that.
That is tricky to find.From what I remember mine was tricky and only showed up when the bar was pretty much only did it with the bar buried.
You could limb all day and never notice a problem.
No need to order that yet. We can tell if it has the pump. Does it have the plate on it like this one that the arrow is pointing to?View attachment 504191
Then no pump.Nope.

If old younger nails this one he is damn good.That is exactly what it does. I'll swap bars today and try it, thanks.
If I had been good it wouldn't have took me so long to stop cussin and figured it out.If old younger nails this one he is damn good.
Not too likely. I was wondering if it did it warm or cold , I would like to see if we can eliminate the coil as the problem. On those saws its usually a bad carb , vac leak , then bad compression and in that order. Still waiting for the compression numbers to get posted.
well whenever they cut small stuff but jam on longer stuff the bar comes into question.If I had been good it wouldn't have took me so long to stop cussin and figured it out.
Now what are we going to do?Swapping the bar fixed it. You guys rock! I should have thought of that.
It looks straight to my eyes and the sprocket is fine, it's a well used bar and shows some wear, I assume it must have a little twist to it. I admit to occasional rough use.
So I'm in the market for a 16" bar for 3/8" Picco chain and a new clutch sprocket. I don't have a convenient, decent, Stihl dealer anymore. Are aftermarket parts like Oregon good stuff, or should I make the extra effort to buy Stihl parts?
Nothing broke there either or no parts in yet?if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
Prob the carb bolts.few weeks ago made a 372xpw-g ... nicest saw I've made... charged a usual customer $750 to custom build it... cooked the top end in 10 minutes...siezed. ran the diagnostics, couldn't figure it out. either the carb bolts were a little loose, or the decomp was leaking.
new xpw piston is $80! ... cleaned up the cylinder best I could, runs like a top now. hopefully I don't cook it again. ...so yeah, plenty to fix over here .....AND i'm waiting on parts for other stuff hehe
