Hakki Pilke x47 - Chainsaw problem

[Doddy]

Hi all,

I have a Hakki Pilke x47 and am having trouble with the chainsaw. It is is struggling to cut through logs without stoping. It feels like its catching... When it does cut it cuts well though.

There is plenty of chain oil, chain is sharp and depth gauges correct. I have read on here than if the bar or sprocket is unevenly worn this can affect the chain angle and impact cutting. Is this the case as my sprocket is slightly worn and the bar has lip on the inside of one side.

Can anyone recommend a good online retailer for parts?

Thanks in advance!

Simon

Dress and flip the bar . if its still pants maybe the rails are worn down so that the drivers are bottoming out in the groove .......new bar .

time for a new bar. I used to fir oregon or windsor on our 2x but that was only a 13" bar so cant give you the number.

 

The chain needs to be spot on or it wears one side of the bar. The other indication bar has had it is chain comes off.

 

I bought a lidls bench grinder and after 6 or 7 tickles I took the chain off and ground it transforms the cut and prolongs the life of the bar.

 

I changed the bar about every 150 - 200 tonnes £15

yes its the bar , put a straight edge across the rails , see if there both the same height, also nip the bar in the vice as the rails can splay out ,

had a lad once who could wreck a bar every 25t by simply leaning on to hard ,

Hi thanks for your replies. Have just ordered new bar. Phoned numerous companies in the UK of try and get hold of one to no avail. Its a 404 - 71 link Oregon chain and the bar measures 59cm.

In the end a very helpful guy at Lamberhurst Engineering has ordered one direct from Hakki for me. Should arrive in the next few days!

Cheers Simon

I always found M Large tree services really helpful and the stuff arrived in a day or two.
