Hi guys. This movement was from brand new so I don't think there would have been any degradation from oil exposure or the rubber having been ripped or torn. I think it's just what my father finds different from his 20 odd year old pro Stihl and an equivalent Husky to this new breed of saw!!! Thanks for your time, as I said, I think it's just Health n'safety stuff. Ya know, can't have too much vibration these days!!! H

Many thanks guys, sorry for the very late reply, I've been away. Everything is fine inside, it must just be the new health & safety department gone mad! There's an awful amount of play in the bar & mount! I suppose its just getting used to it! Thanks again. H

Hi guys, new to the forum. We've got an MS260 with an 18" bar, it's not even run in as my father doesn't like using it since he got it! The reason is that it's a little unpredictable! There seems to be way to much movement from in rubber mounts/suspension both laterally & horizontally! Is this normal? We've had many saws in the wood including Husky's and big old Stihl's that my father has always maintained himself but this one hasn't seemed right, from the start. He's taken it apart a couple of times to see if there's anything out of place or a washer missing but can't see anything obvious! Is this saw renowned for a lot of movement?! Is it new health & safety tried to cut down on the amount of vibration getting to the operator?!! Your opinions and hopefully experience will shed dome light on this. Many thanks in advance.
