Might be the lube you are using and its wearing off too fast or there is still degreaser present/residue when you lubed. Lowe's sells Dupont Teflon Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lube for about $5.00. Been using that lately and it works really well. Spray it on and let it dry. Leaves a waxy, slipperly coating/film with no flinging. An excellent wet lube is found in the chainsaw section...(any name brand) "bar and chain oil". Can use Mobil 1 synthetic oil or their synthetic gear oil. Lot of old-timers use a brush to apply oil to their chain instead of an oil can or "oil dropper" bottle...seems to leave less mess or dripping to wipe up while evenly coating the chain and rollers.
