STIHL 017 CHAINSAW REPLACEMENT CHAIN WILL NOT TURN?
I have just replaced the chain on my Stihl 017 petrol chainsaw by following the instructions & all seemed well but the chain does not turn - I thought it was probably debris jammed in the bar preventing smooth movement so I soaked it in chain lubricant & tested it again but to no avail!! Could it be the bar that is damaged??? Or can anyone advise me on the possible cause of this as its driving me nuts - there is still plenty of oil getting through to the chain so it is certainly not lack of lubricant!!
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
