260 chainbreak issue

[APC]

yo,

 

chain seems able to move under very mild pressure on throttle while brake is on. I've removed the plastic cover that covers the spring and nothing appears to be amiss. The actual brake coil looks even and tight over the sprocket when applied, and even when loose. Chain is tensioned correctly.

 

Any ideas?

Just have another look under the cover at the band and look carefully at where its held in the casing where the small pin locks it in. Ive had numerous bands crack there and although they will lock on the drum and seem tight any throttle will soon have the chain moving.

Thanks for your quick reply, I'll look at that tomorrow!
