    Thanks Peatff. Just to confirm, in the below picture which piece are we talking about? The one on the left or right? If you mean the bit on the right (which I have been referring to as the sprocket) then yes it spins freely. If you mean the bit on the left (which I thought was called the clutch) then I haven't tried to spin that. Thanks Toby Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Thanks guys. I'll loosen the chain off tonight and let you know how it is. Doesn't seem to be related to a position of the sprocket. Seems like you have to use more pressure to start it moving but after that it rotates more freely. I'll also get a new sprocket on order. Thanks Toby

    Hi mate, I've backed it off as far as I'm comfortable with and get the same result. That is to the point that when I pull the chain away from the bottom of the bar I can just see the bottom of a drive link. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Peatff how would I test that? Surely the clutch doesn't engage unless the engine is running? The sprocket spins freely when there is no chain and bar attached.

    Thanks Stubby. What does the plate over the oiler actually do? Is there any adjustment I could/should make to it?

    Will do, thanks. I assume I should fit a genuine part? Seems like a very important component so worth spending the extra money! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    No, it doesn't seem to. It also does it on both a brand new chain and an older one. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Hi Stubby No, it's all clean under there. Although I haven't had the metal cover off which sits over the oiler but that seems flat to me. Photo below.

    Morning all I've recent bought a 2nd hand (but very lightly used) ms260. I have noticed when I turn the chain by hand having set the chain tension that the will rotate around the bar smoothly and then feels like it snags a little and takes extra pressure to move it, then it spins freely again. This only seems to happen when the front bar nut is tightened down. I'm not doing the front nut overly tight. Chain tension seems fine. And brake is definitely not on! I have tried this with a used 15inch bar and chain and also with a brand new 18inch bar and chain, seems to be the same with each. But saw runs fine when started. My concern is that it could be damaging some part? Some light wear to the sprocket but doesn't look too bad to me? Like I said, this only seems to be an issue when the front bar but is tightened. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks Toby

    Hi all, I'm trying to find a source of cheap fire wood for our wood burning stove. Ideally I would really like to be able to collect my own from fallen timber in a wood etc however I'm struggling to find anywhere where I can get permission to take fallen wood. Any suggestions as to how I might be able to fine somewhere? Alternatively - would anyone be prepared to sell me unprocessed wood? We live in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. I can collect if that helps? Thanks
