Greetings Helpful Experts,
I have a dilemma. I am admittedly a bit of a n00b but I have question that I can seem to find an answer for. I recently bought a new Oregon bar and chain per the suggestion on the Oregon's website. They should be a perfect match, both are .058" Gauge, 3/8" Pitch. The problem is the chain is WAY to tight. It is like they gauges are different. The chain just sticks in to the bar groove. This is resulting in way too much friction. No amount of oil will help. So my question are:
What gives?
Is there a fix for this?
How do I know if the bar is the problem or the chain?
Any help would be great!
Thanks.
