Faulty Bar or Faulty operative?!

[stoxs]

Exactly - The chain tie straps have been rubbing on the nose of the bar.

 

Any more news on this?

 

Had a good look at my saw earlyer and as CJ says the chain dosnt touch the tip of the guide bar the sprocket should hold it away a tiny amount.

 

I will hazard a guess that either the chain is wrong to the guide bar or the guide bar is faulty, either as said the nose spocket is wrong or the guide bar has been machined wrong.

Could be that you have been using bio oil for a while; it has solidified gluing and stripping the nylon gear that drives the oil pump!!
