I want to show how easy it is to switch to 1/4 pitch on this saw. Here's my little ms170. I'm going to install a 1/4 pitch sprocket, and a 12" dime tip carving bar and chain.
the parts you need......
Remove the E-clip that holds the sprocket on. be careful, this thing will go flying if you let it.
remove the washer, and the sprocket. Now is a good time to grease the bearing.
Installing the new sprocket, notice the notch in the clutch drum....this drives the oil pump, be sure to line up the notch and the little wire by the clutch. you'll feel it drop in.
