Have a great time up there.
Check your in box. There is a write up in there on fixing your oiler check valve. I'll send the missing letter "R" in the title later.

Yup, that looks like my setup as well.
Sounds weird, never seen one get tight if everything matches. On the oil hole in the bar, top hole will line up with the grove in the case, above the oil hole of the case.

Mines a 16" bar, got a 14" one in the barn somewhere lost in time that I'm going to put on a 2000 dumpster find. Guess they could get it to run so out it went. They had replaced spark plug, fuel lines and installed a new carb kit too. Problem was they put the kit in wrong, soon as I saw that and put it together correctly saw ran like a champ with slight carb tuning. Had a nice chain and Forester bar on it, til I went to take it off, chain rusted to bar in one spot and bar groves for about 6 cutters line was pitted and rusted thin, shame.

Sure would be nice. I love tinkering and do all my maint between my 8 saws. This site helps a great deal. This bar issue just has me stumped.
I just had to put this over here too. I tried real hard, I hate when they only out an email contact and not a call/text number. I missed it but not by much.

Yeah that sucks, happens to all of us now and then.
One of my 6000's came with a 21" or so bar like that on it. The power head is huge on those and makes them look even shorter.
Unfortunately that is the most efficient size bar on those and there .404 X 8 sprocket. LOL
Here's what I have.
My 6 tooth sprocket has an m also.
Steve
That sprocket is wore out and the chain is stretched out. You need to replace all three, sprocket, bar and chain.
