Degreasing chain ?

[alderman]

If I spray my chain down with degreaser to remove all of the oil doesn't it just make the chain so its no longer properly lubricated? Out here, I'm mostly cutting Alder. I don't cut much fir so I've never had a pitch problem. Where am I off on this?

It lubes up again as soon as you cut wood...

It wont if you dont put bar oil in the saw, which by the way would NOT be a good idea.

Does putting bar oil in the gas tank count? Yes, I did that a couple weeks ago

I had one yesterday - guy walks in with a brand new MS 260.. "POS only ran for 1 tank of gas".

Ha! Never a truer word spoken!

Dismantle the carb, flush everything, new fuel filter.. and it now works like a saw should on it's second tank.

Yes, I did the same thing a long time ago. Caught it just it time... (before I ran it) but it wasn't happy for a few tanks afterwards.

I caught it almost as soon as I started pouring, dumped the tank instantly and refilled. Still had one H... of a time starting it next time out.
