[QUOTE="Bill G, post: 7848649, member: 2162"] The 81 DL is generally on Stihls but it will be .063 gauge. The 78 DL is normally on Elux saws such as Husky and all the derivatives. It will be .050 or most likely .058 gauge. Apparently it is on Echo also as that is what you said you had. If you are running a 81 driver on a saw and bar designed for 78 drivers you will find very quickly you will not be able to tighten the chain. Honestly I am surprised you got it to tighten even when the chain was new. As others have said that chain should be easily available and if I was not laid up right now I would gladly spin you some loops but right now I cannot do much of anything for a few weeks.
