New bar smoking a lot--because of kinked chain, clogged oil hole, or too much 2-stroke?

[QUOTE="Sidecarflip, post: 8217042, member: 190550"] If you have a loop(s) sharpened by any commercial outfit, they will always remove way too much tooth because it's 'planned obsolescence' and they want you to replace the loop with a new one and make some money... I sharpen a ton of saw chains for my arborist customers and I only grind off what is necessary tp retore the cutters and drop the rakers if necessary which is probably why I get a steady diet of dull chains. Quality loops have gotten quite expensive today due to inflation. Used to be my customers tossed them and replaced with new. Not the case today. [/QUOTE]
