I have to be really careful when I sharpen the chain, I tend to make them want to cut in circles which they really don't like. My Husqvarna tends to leak out the oil when it gets warm. I try to make sure its empty when I store it otherwise theres a puddle. What saw do you have? I've got a 445 which is probably a little smaller than I should have bought. I've been lusting after a 450 or 455 but then the last time we were at camp I sharpened the chain really carefully until it was razor sharp. With the chain super sharp the saw would fly through anything I put it to and it wasn't that long before my arms gave out. Dad bought a Harbor Freight battery powered electric chainsaw and really likes it. Says its the bees knees for trimming trees.

It also failed to oil the chain last time I tried to use it (yesterday) and got really hot - took it apart and could not find a blockage - not happy! -- OK Don "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
