husky 372 running oregon and husky bars problem

[Stubby]

The numbers might be correct for 3/8th but a .325 sprocket fitted at the factory in error . So just get a bit of .325 chain and see if it sits correctly in the nose and you can run it round .

will do this tonight,thanks mark,to be honest my dealer wasnt much use,just discarded it as a saw problem and not the bar or chain

Oh - he was useful then ! I would say new drive sprocket with bar n chain replaced,  as the power of that saw will wear said drive rim quick enuff too K

the husky bar number reads like this(this bar worked on the 576 but not the 372)

585 95 08-68

              1647

18"             3/8      058

45cm        68dl      1.5mm

 

 

the oregon bar reads like this(this bar worked on neither saw)

 

188SLHD009       P6

 

18"/45CM

 

.058/1.5MM     3/8-68

188SLHD009 that is the correct bar for the saw. I would still check the nose sprocket though just in case it is damaged or not fitted correctly etc. Strange that the husky bar wont work on the 372 as it should!

Just get a bit of .325 chain and see if it runs round it if only  to eliminate it ......

tried the 325,didnt mesh with the sprocket so its not that

[forest tink]

the chain turns round the bar from tip to tip then tries to ride up over the sprocket causes the ticking sound,the chain is 73LPX and has a 7 tooth oregon powermate at the other end

Ok . So I think the spindle of the nose sprocket is not on the same center as the bar tip radius .

Well, isn't the evidence right there in your picture?  That drive link is different to its neighbours. .... looks like an assembly link to join the chain loop. 

Is it this link every time the chain goes round? 

 

Edit : Even the distance between rivets looks different.
