Mine isn't clogged, it's dull. I use a file card to clean them, so that isn't an issue.

I like Nicholson they seem to bite harder and cut better. they also seem to last longer than the oregon ones. Then again my chain is never beyond 3 licks a tooth to be sharp and pointy.
If your sprocket is wore and you put a new chain on it , it will stretch the chain. Other then that running a dull chain, getting it into dirt , sand etc. will stretch it faster. On the average working on the ground about 2 chains to 1 sprocket is average for me. Saws up in buckets have less problems cause the wood is cleaner and they do not bump into things other then wood often. A good sprocket is often overlooked and it is a major component to maintaining the performance of a chainsaw. Chains last longer, less vibration,and stress on the crankshaft and bearings,av dampners etc.
