Yep, it's a 3/8. 3/8 is .375.
Yes, but 3/8 is just nominal (not exact) as a chain pitch - so that math/translation is irrelevant (and inaccurate).

You have no idea what is going on in my life since this thread was started 72 hours ago, and I am not going to go into it. I have been doing the suggestions, sorry it does not fit your timetable.
I also am not at my home with my shop; I do not have a vise where I am. Furthermore, I am new to chainsaws. I do not have the knowledge of a lifetime of messing with them.
There have been many helpful suggestions and I appreciate it and have said 'thanks' more than once, and I hope to get to the bottom of this.
Now, I can understand why those other people started that other forum. I had heard that this forum had a lot of rude posters with way too much animosity. Looks like it's true.
Thanks to all of you who have made suggestions and have remained civil. You mean-spirited ones, unbelievable you get so worked up over a forum thread.
Ever once in a while these threads come up and it amazes me how many pages it takes before it gets resolved. One of the reasons it takes so damn long is because the OP won't take the advice and actually try what is mentioned. At this point, just writing this feels like a waist of time. I would go find a similar thread and link it here but after 5 pages it probably has already been covered. If anyone is inclined they can use the search and find one, maybe it's 10 pages long and has 5 pages of ides that haven't been mentioned yet.
I agree they dont know what is going on . It was rude!You have no idea what is going on in my life since this thread was started 72 hours ago, and I am not going to go into it. I have been doing the suggestions, sorry it does not fit your timetable.

Went ahead and stuffed a rope in the cylinder, lol. Got the clutch off, it says Oregon 38-7 on the rim sprocket. So, that matches, right?
I don't know what a worn sprocket looks like, but this one looks fine to me. The 7 splines, where they fit into the 7 grooves, there is a little slop, but not much.
Don't hold your breath!!I have learned a lot of things here on AS over the past 10 years (!!! hey, I missed my anniversary - Darin did not send flowers!!!).

Getting old sucks sometimes.What frustrates me about this thread is that I encountered a similar situation on a saw once. It also seemed fine until the bar was clamped down and then the chain wouldn't turn. I can't for the life of me remember what the issue was. I do remember that the chain was pressing into the body of the saw but I can't remember why or what I did to remedy it. Can't even remember what brand of saw it was.
No kidding. I've been wracking my brain on this because it's probably the same issue but I just can't pull it off the hard drive...Getting old sucks sometimes.

Wonder if he smoked the chainbrake band?LOL! And it gets worse! Getting back to the issue, I like your idea as the best place to start being to mount the B&C without the clutch cover using the nuts & washers & see if the chain can be freely pulled by hand. Another thought comes to mind. If I remember correctly (can't count on that) the OP said he continued to cut after damaging the chain & some smoking occured. I would expect the chain to stretch from being overheated, but maybe some warpage took place?? I had to chime in here, because I am very curious as to what the answer is.
