....................Any help would be appreciated, bc this constant jumping is nerve racking.
after throwing a chain, the drive tang may be galled or scratched, this can be knocked down with a file to the side of the tang. It is prob. a result of being thrown not the cause, and should be fixed to not add wear to the bar groove, as that could then later add to the decline in bar and chain performance.
Well, put a new chain on the 20 bar, no issues, except for when the chain had to much slack and i wasnt paying attention and i got a kickback and the chain jumped track. Figured the jumping track was a sign to stop cutting and finish hand loading the small stuff. Put a new 36 chain on today, made 3 cleaning/freshening cuts before applying anchorseal and even with a tight chain, it jumped track when went to cut horizontal. Im bout ready to buy a new 36 bar and drive sprocket to see if that helps.
Check the bar behind the sprocket and dress it the best you can.
