Chain Brake working too well??

[kennyz]

I`ve got a little Homelite 33cc that I use around the yard for small stuff. It runs extreme well but when I release the trigger the chain stops immediately. I mean ther is no movement at all when I release the trigger. Is this normal or is there an adjustment to be made?

Is chain too tight.
Is it oiling

Chain is adjusted right and it is oiling very well.

Some saws have a auto stop type deal

With the saw off, can you pull the chain along the bar with little resistance?

Doese the chainbrake show signs of melting in to the case. I have seen alot of these that the brake drags then melts into the case and finaly locks up completly. The fix is to throw away the saw and buy another saw.

seen a couple where the brake is very difficult to disengage. Almost feels like your going to brake something to disengage it.

No, everything seems to be working properly. I can move the chain when the saw is off and no signs of any melting plastic. Maybe that`s just the way these saws work?
