I have DCCS670 60V chainsaw which has developed an issue. It doesn’t want to start unless I turn the chain little bit (sometimes it takes 2-5 tries). I took the kickback brake drum off and the same issue persists, the motor does not start unless I turn it some “clicks”’. Anyone had this issue? Bad motor, “motor brake”,…?

This chainsaw is out-of-warranty.

They still repair tools out of warranty. You may have to pay but that’s part of owning a tool.

is the chain too tight?

I’m having the same issue. Were you able to find a resolution?
