Was cutting small willows by a lake last week and wound some monofilament into the saw. Got it out of the chain and off the sprocket, but can't get it out of the nose sprocket on the bar (it's not a replaceable bar tip). Tried lubing it and tapping the sprocket to get it to move forward or backward. Wouldn't hardly budge. All the exposed mono strands have been broken in an effort to get it out of there so there's not really anything else to grab hold of. It's down around that gear but good. Don't know if it was hot enough to melt it or not. This is on a newer Echo CS501 we've only had 5 or 6 weeks. Anyone else ever deal with this issue?
