201t issues bar and chain

[DanBous]

Anyone else get problems running Oregon bars and chains on their 201t?

 

I've got a 14inch Oregon "advance cut" bar running on Oregon "versa cut" 91VXL050 chain.

 

It snatches and jamming, and jumps around like crazy. I've tried more than one of the same chain, and I have tried different increments of chain tension, but all to know avail.

 

Yes it's sharp, it's on the right way around and the depth gauges are set correctly [emoji4]

I can't comment on the saw or bar but have you used the VXL chain before? Have a quick search on here as there's plenty of comments about the chain being a bit grabby and jumpy. I run it on a small back handle saw and wasn't impressed at first.

I bought some Oregon chain for the 201t got a few 12" chains. Hate them. Grabby bastards at first. One of the chains has ripped a cutter top off from hitting something. 

 

On a job earlier this week I hit a nail embedded in tree in it near enough ripped 3/4 of the top of the cutter off every tooth down one side. 

 

Bit of bad luck there but with the grabbyness etc and other bits I'll be glad when they're done and it'll be back to Stihl chain.

It's interesting because they are always fine on my ground saws...
