Chainsaw cutting squint with new bar and chain

[Mark_Skyland]

Dont know anything about it. As far as I know nothing has been changed lately in regards to drive, bar and chain. Although there is a new x force bar on the way I dont think this is the issue you lads are having.

 

Not read or digested all the thread but what it the issue people are having?

 

Saws cutting to one side are only caused by (99.99% of the time)  by a bad chain.

The chain on my (and others) 560 is striking the clutch drum, which is dulling one side of the chain and making it cut bananas!

I got 560s and haven,t had anything like this no problems at all

[Mark_Skyland]

Strange, maybe a bad batch of clutch drums as I have never seen that issue I don't know the exact cause. The drive train is the same as the 562xp, 550xp, 545 and 555.

 

Unless there is an issue with the bar mounting causing the bar to run at an angle pushing the chain/rim into the clutch drum.

 

I hope no one has left the white transport washers in place!
