Problem for Poulan Wild Thing 2375 18" Gas Chain Saw 2.5 Cuin

The blade cuts part way through a log and then

The blade cuts part way through a log and then goes side ways. I took it off to see if it had a bend or something with the bar but the bar is straight and does not seem bent.

As the chain wears the bar, a wire edge is created. Check your manual it probably mentions bar maintenance. A flat file at a 45° angle around the perimeter of the bar, both side will probably fix it free. HTH

replace the bar - evidently one side of the bar is worn more that the other part of the rail. the chain twists and runs crooked onthe bar.

Try sharpening the cutters! A dull chain will have to be forced to cut & will invariably cut in an arc. You only need to guide the saw with a sharp chain...........the saw does all the work with no effort.
