Some of you guys will hate this others might find it, . . . . well, . . . . I guess I leave it to judge for yourself.
Chain cleaner
It works with my bigger bars too.

why not just leave on the saw? set it on the ground, leave it running and slowly spin the chain?
yep I agree. But even with the chain running backwards and a finer throttle than a straight trigger (I have an MC throttle) on my milling saw, I still find it tricky to generate a safe low chain speed that I am willing to put my hands near.i agree with the point of the direction that the cutters are moving, and most everything else sounds valid with your situation. i will add that a motor may turn 3000rpm, but a chain is not turning that fast at clutch engagement.
That's exactly what I do except I find simple green works better for aussie trees that put out a lot of resin. Even so, while the resin softens in the simple green it will not come off unless it is scrubbed. Normally I lay the chains down flat on their side and scrub the chain from the back to the front of the cutter under running water. For long chains this is slow, wet, messy and takes the skin off my knuckles. I'll still soften the resin and then put it on my rig.when i need to clean one, i just toss it in a can of carb cleaner or purple power for a soak. but most of mine only have minimal gumming unless i have cut the occasional pine.
I like it Bob good work,do ya get much sleep or does yu mind tick over all the time,thanks for the info i have allways had problems cleaning chains.
