3) throw it in the skip and never deal with it again[emoji23] It's unlikely that inner plate will make a difference as from those links posted above it seems to be option and replace the plastic wear tabs I have... I may mess with one of the side covers as both are giving the same issue... Cheers fellas

Here's a close up of the adjuster, seems to fit fairly well but I guess it could have the wrong one.... Removing the adjuster didn't change anything unfortunately Really appreciate the help it's been driving me nuts [emoji23]

My apologies I should have specified it was an 024av. Bar stud collar is below the bar surface. Can confirm there is enough thread for the nuts before bottoming out. Pulled out the chain adjuster but still having the same issue.. Maybe you're right on a side cover, although the one I ordered came on an 024 , advertised as "genuine Stihl 024av side cover"
-
Mine has the chain adjuster behind the bar forgot to mention that. Also yeah maybe I got mixed up but they are definitely installed correctly.

Right I'm looking at the saw now. Few things measurements all seem very close to what bmp01 posted. My bar is 4mm thick though versus the 4.5mm. I've got two side covers, one plastic one that came with the saw, with a strange hole drilled in-between the bar mounts. I then thought this was an issue so bought a used side cover off an 024 being broken for parts on eBay. This is a metal cover, however as bmp01's keen eye spotted it contacts the chain adjuster slightly. However the original plastic cover that came with the saw does not have this issue, however the original problem is still present. There also seems to be more play with the original plastic cover Studs are installed with the short thread into the case. They couldn't be installed upside down. Also had the same issue before changing the studs. Collar on the studs does not protrude beyond the bar, they are slightly recessed

Good eye! I'll check it all out when I'm home from work later! Really appreciate the photos and measurements.
-
Yup 'collar' is sitting perfectly flush to case
-
Cover does sit down perfectly flush around the edges with no gaps. Also have used 3 covers and two sets of studs so I think I can rule them two options out.. It's baffling me
-
Indeed, ordered the bar and chain from a website (can't remember the name off my head) which required you to select your saw so it should definitely be correct. Have a inner plate ordered so hopefully that'll allow the cover to clamp down properly and hold the bar, will update when it arrives. Appreciate the help

Sadly have no local Stihl dealer within a few hours drive. If this issue doesn't sort itself, I'll sit it on a shelf and try a Stihl bar down the line. Unusual for a brand name bar to be incorrect though [emoji848]
-
Any idea what's the reason? Incorrect bar? I've replaced the studs [emoji848]

That is the ultimate mancave: 2 post, lathe, Mill and loads of cabinets! Also that chainsaw mount is genius, 100% gunna make something similar on a rainy day
-
Whipped this up the other day to keep the saws up off the ground.
-
Appreciate that! Ordered one so hopefully this'll solve it and I'll finally be able to use it! Thanks
-
Does that just sit over the bar studs? Doesn't seem to be any location for a small bolt like on my 038. Thanks!
-
Always.... Wondering is it the bar at fault? [emoji848] It's brand new and was ordered for an 024...
-
I was wondering about that too, doesn't seem to have a wear plate but also can't see a mounting location for one [emoji848]

Hi I recently got a Stihl 024 with no bar and chain. Cleaned her up and got a new Oregon bar and chain. Fitted it up but once tightened down the bar moves up and down 5-10mm. Initially I thought the cover might be the culprit as it was a plastic piece. Had the same issue after trying the metal cover off my 038 but decided to order a genuine metal 024 cover. Same issue. Decided to then replace the bar studs as I thought they could be worn. But still having the same issue... Any suggestions?

Hey guys been lurking here for a while. Waiting on time to do arborist courses, but have been cutting trees for a few years. Just qualified as a mechanical engineer but not really too interested in going into engineering just yet. Just starting to piece together some climbing gear for my own rec fun at the moment. Work with a local landscaper most of the time with the occasional day cutting trees with an arborist.
