Chainsaw question: I'm missing something...?

[Limitool]

Is it a 3/8th pitch or .325. does it have a set screw for the oiler some of the new epa Stihl saws you cant adjust the oiler. It was always standard one tank of fuel ,one tank of oil Not with the new ones.

I will say when I was building bridges for the rail road we cut a ton of creosote ties and supports. We had a large wheel of chain to replace after a few sharpenings. Creosote made the blades and bar run very hot. Old ties should not be a problem though. Good practice always flip your bar over when replacing a chain for even bar wear. I love chain saws !

Tnmountains: Can't answer on the pitch. No set screw for oiler. ! tank of fuel / 1 of oil. AND this saw is running HOT both blade and bar. But these are old ties though...? But thanks for advise of flipping bar over for wear.... That makes a LOT of sense.... Thanks...!

I was waiting to see him pick up a railroad tie...

I love the way the guy tied the chain saw up and cut the wood

I have a Stihl chainsaw w/18" bar. Fairly new and not used much. I've had a few hundred railroad ties stacked up for lining the driveway since last year. Well started to move them and had angles to cut at curves. After 2 cuts it was running hot and puked the chain. I changed out chain and made 3 cuts and again same thing. I took bar & chain off and cleaned up everything to make sure bar oil was in the oiler. I fired it up and yep.... oil pouring on out. Put a 3rd new chain on and cut 9 ties and same thing happened AGAIN...!

So is something wrong with the chainsaw or maybe it doesn't like cutting the railroad ties possibly. Why I wouldn't know but is it possible maybe? I am NOT hitting any metal nor seen any sparks at all. I stay a long ways from the metal end plates.

Any ideas anybody....

Is it possible the chain is on backwards I have done this myself with the same results.

There is bar oil for summer and oil for winter. I always shoot a shot of wd -40 in my one saw with auto oiler to thin it down so it throws out a ton of oil, Lol. Be careful out there!

Been there done that, when I was a kid.
