Hi There.

No I don't need it but I do have several saws that use .325 chain and I don't mind the Intenz thing. The 2800/2900/295 usually don't have an adjuster on the clutch cover hence the Intenz adjustment. I would be happy to cover the postage.

Once the new adjuster, bar and chain show up I will let you know. I definately won't need it.
 
The 330 I acquired recently has the goofy bar with the built in adjuster. I went ahead and ordered the adjuster to switch it over. Was thinking of getting a new bar. I was wondering if this saw would pull a 3/8 20" bar. That way it can match the 3500. If it'll be a mouth full for it I will go a different route. What do you guys think?
FWIW, I have a 335 that came with a 20", 3/8". I never used it. I've a few 026 killers, I mean 3000's, that came with 16", 18" and 20", 0.325". Regardless, 335 or 3000, I do prefer the balance, smoothness and cutting speed with the 16", 0.325". The AV feels stiffer with the shorter bar as well.

This setup cuts like an $800 saw. Fast and convincing. PP335 (6).jpg

I've got a craftsman 3.0 with 18" bar on my to do list. Needs fuel lines, carb kit and air cleaner. That one will be fun to run against my 026's!

Mine isnt that nice. But dang with 16" 325 LPX on this 3.3 335 predator style impressed the heck out of me I went and bought another to have spares.
