The chain will not stay adjusted on this saw.
The sprocket/drum was a little worn so I went and bought a new one thinking that was the problem, it wasn't. I've used different bars and chains and that didn't help.
The adjuster seems fine. Nothing is stripped. The part of the case where the adjuster rests, isn't worn or 'holed' out. I'm not seeing a problem.
After adjusting the chain and tightening the side-cover down, as soon as I start the saw the chain becomes very tight whereas the chain either won't turn or sometimes it becomes very loose. It'll be tight then loose and vice versa.
Any thoughts?
