Thread: show us your chainsaws

If you know what I mean so have to back out to get chain to spin again then back into it.
So is the clutch getting worn or something else.
Seems worse on a sharp chain as it bites in more.

Does it feel down on power ?
So
Clean air filter
Remove spark arrestor screen from exhaust outlet

Power feels normal but chain stops ?
So
Don’t force the cut
Depth gauges (rakers) too low on chain

Does it cut smooth with no vibration or is it vibrating badly in the cut ?
