Posted a couple of days ago about having a problem with getting the chain to run, It acts like the saw brake is on and it starts to smoke, but anyways i went ahead and put the old bar and chain that i did have on before this all happen and after putting tha chain on and tighten everthing down, you can pull the chain across the bar,but after two rounds or so it hangs up and you have jerk it to get it freed up again. what would cause this guys ?

Does it smoke at idle (not that I know where I'm going with this)?

Worn or cracked rim sprocket? Does the chain pitch match the bar and rim?

the chain pitch and bar are a perfect match, how can i tell if the rim spocket is bad, I don't see no crack in it

Maybe check the bearing cage on the clutch drum?

I recently had a similar problem ended up being the splines on shaft behind the drum where the rim sprocket is driven they were busted it would pull then lock up. Pull the clutch off and check , next guess would be rim drive worn out ?

From your other post, it looks like you recieved a WPL 20 chain which should be .325, you need to contact Bailey & get the right chain; it should be a WPL 30 chain which is 3/8.
