WEN 5014 Electric Chainsaw question

[Dave]

Hello ALL:

Is there a way to contact WEN or are they gone?

My father-in-law sent us an older, but not used very much, WEN Model

5014 Electric Chain Saw. The chain is loose, as the arm bent a little during shipping. I have it lookong good now, but the chain seems loose and I see no way to adjust it. It is too loose to run. He had everything but the BOOK!!!

Any way to at least get some idea of how to adjust it, or better yet, find a book online?

TIA, I have looked everywhere. This NewsGroup knows everything! :-)

AAAKKKK!

why is it you never see wen tools that are worn out, just ones that are either broken or 40 years old and barely used?

[Dave]

:-)

Don't know. I did find a place that still claims to support them so I sent them an email. They are Van Lu.

Man I looked everywhere for a chain for an old electric Wen I bought for $5 at an estate sale. Finally found one hanging on a wall in an old hardware store marked for $2 - dusty as hell. The guy was surprised anyone bought it. Didn't have any more or I would have bought a spare.

Thanks Dave. I may not need a chain. I just do not see a tension adjustment.

Unfortunately, 14 years ago when Dave was trying to fix his chain saw, he started it with a loose chain. The chain flew off, crashed through a window and knocked his young son's gold fish bowl off the table. When Dave went into the house to retrieve the chain, he heard (and felt) a squish under his foot. He tried to hide the evidence but his son walked in, and thinking that Dad had purposely stomped his beloved pet to death, he turned his back on his father forever. "You are as dead to me as Bubbles is."

Dave took to drinking, moved into a cabin in the woods where, even to this day, he wears the chain around his neck (loosely) as a reminder of the family that he once had.

It's a sad story but there is a lesson in it for all of us. I'll leave it to you to figure out what that lesson is.

[Just Wondering]

We should demand universal registration of chainsaws?

[Unquestionably Confused]

Uh. . . Missing your fish? Check under my foot.

Well, it worked with cats and my tires! ;)

I love a good intentioned fib, especially when it makes you laugh.

And they need to close the chainsaw show loophole, too.

[nailshooter41]

Well, the lesson was lost on me... but that was damn funny. Thanks for the laugh!

Please yell a little louder. I can't hear you over the sound of my chainsaw.

If anyone happens to have a WEN 5014 they are scrapping I need the oil plug with oil adjustment that fits in the side of the saw. My wife has a 5014 that she loves and the plug fell out and was lost. She wants me to fix the saw so she can continue helping me with my fire wood cutting. I can always use help.

Did you ever find a sprocket? Mine just broke.
