New Chain Sticking

Hi all, wonder if someone can point me in the right direction here.

Fitted a new chain to my MS 251 and it runs fine for about 30 seconds or so, then it jams in the bar.

Saw is oiling fine, it's meant to be a genuine Stihl chain, thought bar was past its best so tried a new bar as well, same thing happens.

Put old chain on and runs fine. Confused .com???

The bar should be stamped with the correct chain size etc to use then compare it to the chain.

Theres normally a number stamped on the chain you can google if it doesn't state which.

 

It certainly sounds like a chain issue if your old ones where fine with it. Take it you've done the obvious and cleaned the bar groove etc.

You need to check the kerf.

Theres the latest .043 micro then theres .050 .058 and .063

 

There are the 4 above different widths now available for .325 chain

 

Sounds like you have the next width up from what your bar is meant for. As mentioned previously it will be on the bar.
