You can't call it a "Black Art", it is now an Art of Colour unless it has changed again.

Don't think you've been allowed to use colour since the 50s.

 

Harry potter used "dark arts"

TBH, I really don't know anymore and I have about as much a clue on this subject as on Quantum Mechanics.

Careful Spud...you don't want to have to give back your ten mill do you???

Being cynical, when I hear a sentence involving an ms250/BIG oak/all day-smoke/burning/puzzlement/rage and eventually tears would be exactly the outcome I would expect tbh.

You don't want to run it tight, as it will get tighter as it warms up. 

 

A 250 only has one bar nut, but you should be able to twang the chain and see about half the drive link.

 

Did they replace both the clutch and the drive sprocket ?.

Yes both the clutch and drive sprocket.

What bar length are you running?

18”

That's the max bar length on your small saw.

As a guy who processed 1000s of tonnes with a 18" 251 over the decades, you're pushing it too hard by the sounds of it.

 

At best I might have sharpened 1-2 times a day, it's not a race so let the saw almost fall through the wood.

 

Learn to listen to the saw, watch the chip size and how they flow, try to aim for an almost constant sound level without the up/down and bogged down.
