| Hi James,
First make certain that you do not have a build up of wood tar etc. on
the front half of the guide bars. This will cause your problem, if you
adjust the bearings mid travel, the back will be loose, and tend to
tighten as you come forward.
If the bars are clean, make certain that the bearings/rollers are in
good shape. If they skip roll you can get a similar type of problem.
