Well my 026 has been running really good then i did a dumb think and used it to cut 6 15" roots from a gum tree stump. I know i ran it into the dirt numerous times while i was doing it. I cleaned the bar and chain with degreaser and a brush and used air to blow out the bar guide. The bar has no lip at the top and i dress it whenever i feel one starting. The bar is usually wet with oil and now it is dry i drained the bar oil and cleaned the tank with gas and ran it with gas in the bar oil tank to clean it. i can see oil coming out of the tube but the bar is still dry.
not sure if i ruined the bar and or chain. Bar holes and groove are all clean and the chain is clean. Didnt want to try a new chain if a bad bar would ruin it. any suggestions to try?
