[QUOTE="kenmbz, post: 7689749, member: 181426"] This did happen to me cutting dead ash, the rotted wood would get into the nose on my 20" bar and become sludge with the oil and lock the nose up. Did not happen on green wood, or older dead trees. It took a lot of work to clean out that stuff in the nose. Happened less often with my 18" bar, so though ti was oiling, but put it into the same part rotted tree and walla , nose clogged. These trees were pretty solid but dead. Only [B]wet[/B] a bit in so not visible until bucked. Some [B]dusty[/B] wood and then some [I]green[/I] wood. Seems like the combo of the three was what was clogging the nose. Use the saw on a lot of other trees and never clogged. [/QUOTE]
