Why is my Ryobi Chainsaw bar and chain running hot and smoking?
- HhillwilliamAug 1, 2025
If the Ryobi Chainsaw's bar and chain are running hot and smoking, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the chain lubricant tank is full, refilling it each time you fill the fuel tank. Next, check the chain tension and adjust it according to the manual's instructions. Then, run the chainsaw at half throttle for 30-45 seconds, stop, and check if lubricant is dripping from the guide bar. If there's no lubricant, contact an authorized service center. If lubricant is present, the chain may be dull or the bar damaged.
