I recently purchased an Echo CS-302S. I endeavored to sharpen the chain this morning. Now I'm certainly not an expert, but I've never seen so many odd angles lol. Short teeth, long teeth, and in no kind of order. I'm wondering if the previous owner was an alcoholic or something. I finally got it to cutting somewhat, but I intend to buy a new bar and chain soon for it.

I found a new bar and chain combo at walmart on clearance and bought it. It made a vast difference in how the saw cuts. I also removed the clutch cover and greased the very dry needle bearings. Hopefully I caught them in time to keep them from being damaged.
