Attempts to cut anything larger than 4" in diameter has the saw blade wandering to the left (clockwise). Ultimately this results in binding of the chain/bar. This same tendency to rotate is noted on both down and up cuts, although counter-clockwise on the latter.
The saw in question is just a cheap consumer grade Poulan 2150. Everything looks to be in alignment and nothing seems twisted. The blade is adjusted, albeit a bit duller than it should be at the moment. I've had this little-used saw for a number of years and it has always exhibited this "problem" but was not a major concern as it's mostly used on 3" in diameter and smaller branches. Currently though it's being tasked with 6"-10" tree felling so the need for fixing has finally come.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
