Sounds like your brake/spring is binding. Have you pulled it apart and blew the plate out with air?

Originally posted by Kenner97 View PostI figured it out. The new bar I bought, the tension screw is not lining up. It’s falling into another hole. I had just bought a tractor supply bar that supposed to fit.
Been in the same place before, now I just buy stihl but would consider oregon or other reputable aftermarket bar
My first thought was the bar tip sprocket

Still might put it up for sale and buy a Stihl or Echo
buy quality bars, chains , gas and chain oil ... and all 3 will perform.

Not familiar with Husqvarna saws but I have a mini Stihl that has a band that resides in the side plate that sounds like what you are talking about.
Pop that band out and clean it and the "groove" or space where it sits out real good too and put it back together. I had a similar problem and it had built up a bunch of crud between band and housing

sounds to me like the problem is the chain... are you sure you didn't have the chain slip off and it bent a tooth ? with the bar off the saw can you take the entire chain through the bar and roll it by hand without binding ?? sure sounds like a bad spot on the chain itself to me .. or out of specs... do you have another chain ?

Place i called to fix wants $60 to diagnose and then parts and labor.
Think it is worth it? Guessing $125-$150 to fix.
