Chain will not move. Motor works fine, chain is tight. Why won't the chain turn?

Could be the chain brake is on- pull the hand guard to the rear to release. Or the chain is dry of oil & too tight. Or the chain was tossed off the bar and had drive links buggered. Loosen it some, move by hand, and find source of problem. All else fails, read the manual.

On the body of the saw, near the point where the chain goes beside the cover over the motor, there is a round knob. Rotate the black handle out so that you can turn it. This knob is used to make small adjustments to the tension on the chain. Turn the knob one way to loosen the chain and the opposite direction to tighten the chain.

There is the big plastic chain guard in the front of the motor. If that is in the wrong position, the chain won't turn. Either push it forward or pull it back.

Try adjusting the tension piece that is attached to the pull lever. Sometimes it needs a little adjusting to pull the wire to start theotor

I think the whole gear box is the problem here. Not sure replacing motor will fix your problem. eBay has similar motor with gear boxes try it.

the chain should work since it is usually longer than needed. If it is too long, just take out a few links.

Try holding in the clutch while moving the bike. If that doesn't work, you need to adjust your clutch cable until the wheel turns freely and when you let the clutch out it should turn over the motor.

I found that you have check every so often that bits of wood/branches do not get into the back of the chain, if you stop every once in awhile to pull out the accumulation that makes a big difference. Also you have to adjust the chain if it is too loose that will make the chain slide off.

It's been a long time, but as I recall that was what I had. I checked the motor and it worked, so I replaced the board and that fixed it. Hope this helps.

Did you check The shafts? Maybe the problem is some shaft is a little bent, not the motor.

Mine works great. Make sure the flip stop is in place so that you are grinding at the correct angle. Make sure you are squeezing the brake handle if you have that model. I had another model that was of lesser quality and the locking device squeezes the chain right at the chain side plates. If it's the one that you have, it has a black lever about 2-3" long. If you pinch the black lever at its base where it touches the plate and pull it towards you, it should move about a 1/4" or so towards you because it is spring loaded. The black handle has a ratchet built within it. If you pull the handle towards you and rotate it counter clockwise (to your left) about a 1/2 turn the ratchet will reset the tension so that when you go to tighten it against the chain it should be tighter. Once you have made the rotation make sure you allow the black lever to slide back over the screw that's in the center of the handle. If that doesn't work, you may have to go farther than a 1/2 turn and or do it several times. Just take note that when you rotate it to the left the center screw in that locking arm stays "still" and the black handle rotates around the screw. By doing that, the black handle grabs that center screw at a different location hence making it able to squeeze the chain plates sooner and tighter. Hope this works. Good luck.

First, loosen the two bolts holding the chain bar in place. Then locate the screw at the base of the chain bar. Turn thisscrew until the chain is tight, but still rides easily along the bar. I've found that this saw operates best with a fairly tightchain compared to other models. I tighten my chain until I can only pull the chain away from the bar about a quarter ofan inch from the midpoint of the chain bar. Be sure to securely tighten the two bolts holding the bar when you have thechain tightened.

Remove the die and make sure the case activated drop tube is there. And if it's not resetting be sure you have the chain tight enough but not overly tight else you could break it.

Is it possible that my may have hit the ground with it running, only have to touch it and it dulls the chain ??? My guess is that you will have to get the chain resharpened...... hope that helps..

I ran into the same problem when I received my sharpener. The solution is simple and quick. First the lever that holds the chain in place has a little Phillips head screw to hold it in place. Unscrew the screw and take the lever out and move it to the left 1 or 2 notches replace the screw. Now it should tighten the bar enoughto prevent the chain from moving. Not a defect just didn't assemble correctly at the factory. Hope this helps.

If you have a liftmaster or chamberlain with the plastic gear drive take a look at it and see if it is stripped. Sometimes when the chain is tightened it puts too much pressure on the big gear and concaves it. Thus the door might start but the gear would slip and not go all the way up. The other thing to check is the up power adjustment.

I would have to say no. my chain continually flips over and pinches me when I try to fix it.

First try a tiny bit of oil or WD-40.If it's somehow welded shut or won't move at all, return it for a new one.It's supposed to open a few inches, as in the picture, not all the way.
