Paul: I wasn't going to respond at first, as it sounded as though you were looking for a guy to put on the handle end. I keep my chain saw in a corner where by I never need touch the handles or operator controls. You must realize I'm looking at this, from the perspective of a 65 year old.

Seriously, I think Chris has it nailed, chain just a wee bit too tight, bar pinched. Rambunctious guys trying to get it cleaned up in a hurry will do this. Ask yourself how often you got bar pinched from tree presure.

The end of bar roller may also be a factor, but that should lubricate from oil going along bar, is your oiler putting out enough oil. Take the bar off, see if oil ports may be partially plugged. If you rev the saw up with end of bar pointed at clean snow or a board, it should put a slight oil stain on either. Not a lot, you should see traces of oil on the snow or board after 10 seconds. Another factor to check are you using chain saw chain oil and proper viscosity for season? That can have an effect, other type oils are a nono.
