Yeah, I know a dull chain is a highly likely culprit but I didn't want to presume.A person leaning too hard on a dull chain will do it every time.

That's what always causes it with my saws. I sharpen every few tanks on the ground saws. The climbing saws will last longer. What has changed ? Has this always been happening or just recent ?Yeah, I know a dull chain is a highly likely culprit but I didn't want to presume.
Ok what saws ? Are you cutting deadwood ? Locust ? Or what ?Good stuff. Not dull chains/not pushing on them.
TONs of slack, as in, 3/4", as in, falling off loose.
Cannot adjust the tensioner screw once the bar nuts are tight.
Has to be I'm running out of oil...
All my saws chains go loose on every tank, no matter what I do
What the hek?
This...How tight are you putting your chain on initially, all chains will slack a tiny bit after you run it.
So utterly sick of this...all my saws are nicely matching oil output with gas use...Today it was just a joke...I could put my hand between the bar and chain. Insanity. I'd like to think an aftermarket chain guard is the cause but I just cant see it...they are identical to OEM, or so close, there's just nothing I can see that would cause this. And I've used all sorts of oil, including Husky, but I do say I've used mostly non-Husky lately...maybe that's the test-get some genuine Husky oil...that's a simple isolation test I'll do asap.
SO, here's a question...say I cut for 15 mins in hardwood. How hot is the bar going to be? I notice very hot bars. SO now I'm wondering if I should use only Husky oil.
