on the Dansco rims the tooth pocket is offset, to allow you to adjust the alignment more precisely with the natural chain path from the bar, you want the chain to turn freely with the engine off with no hickups or catches in the rotation at all
also look at the chain from the end of the bar and make sure it isn't bound or tweaked at the sprocket
when they get going everything needs to be right
It is sometimes worth buying an old wide bodied bar with a nice tip in some oddball mount so that you can modify it to more safely run larger sprockets with race chain :)
I was asking Jason if it made a difference in his situation based on this knowledge.

I bought a batch of OEM from Mark, they don't cost much. They are lighter than rollers, and I don't have to mess with it when I remove the chain cover. I usually like to keep it simple!
Mike, when mounted correctly, the roller catcher stays assembled and attached to the side cover............ There really ain't no messing with it

Got a couple of these wbs coming....gonna mod one for alky and the other for my 066/056
I don't know if there all this way but the one I used on this saw tunes better than most oem carbs.
I'm 1/4 turn on the low and 2.5 out on the high.
The low needle is very touchy but is easy to find the sweet spot.
No idle adjust which doesn't bother me cause I never use the la anyway.
There good carbs but not a easy install.

That sounds about right on the tuning. I had a box of those same carbs NOS years ago that I got with a box of kart parts. I gave a bunch of them away to AS members at the time and 1/4-1/2 turns out on the low and 2-3 turns out on the high was the norm.
