Hi guys,
I need some help here...I rebuilt an MS460 and overall it's running great. I never mounted a bar and chain previously because the bar stud threads were pretty beat up but they have been rethreaded with a die and now the bar nuts go on smooth. When it came time to put a bar and chain on I can't seem to fit it onto the saw as elementary as that sounds. It's a brand new Stihl 20 inch bar and chain combo but the chain appears to be a tad too short. The tensioner is at the most loose setting. I don't want to force anything on but I've never had this problem before. I'm thinking something is wrong with the tensioner system?? I posted some pics so you guys can get a better idea. Am I doing something totally wrong or what?
