Hello!

I am wondering what bar and sprocket/rim I can use to
run 0.325 0.050 chain and say a 14" bar on Stihl 020
and/or MS200? (Oregon number please :) ... .)

Saws will be used only to very tiny stuff so I imagine they
should cope well with 0.325 :) ... .

Thanks

I'm not going to cross it to oregon numbers for you

I will say it's probably a bad idea. Can you say why you want to?
 
oops.

here is just the spur. That last number was for a set with the oiler thingy

Well one good reason would be that I have 50 feet or so
of 0.325 0.050 chain that I am becoming decreasingly
fond of using on bigger saws, so why not use it on smal-
ler ones instead :) ?

It is a good Carlton chain - so if its measures are to tiny
for 50 cc saws why not use it on small Stihl saws :) ?

What would the disadvanages be - please inform me - ob-
viously the chain will act more agressive but I am used with
that from using e.g., 3/8 0.050 on 50 cc saws ... .
 
yes, it would be grabby. I use 200T for very small branches so I don't want a chain that is more likely to grab and whip around. If I had a good source of 1/4" chain I would go that direction, not larger.

Oregon has a website that should give you the part numbers. I don't know if oregon makes the oiler adapter though. Might be stihl only for that
 
"grabby" - thank you for that word :) - that is exactly
what 3/8 chains are on 50 cc saws - i just didn't know
the right word - stihl - I like it :) ... .

Edit: I have got a 200T as well in the same package,
but that one I have no intention whatsoever to switch
to more agressive chain on ... .
