OK, first time ever in a real saw shop today, very enjoyable experience. Nice couple a guys who are going to take care of all my saw woes.
So one of my woes is a pinched bar on my PP 260. What makes it a real woe is the BRAND NEW chain for that bar (NO ONE MAKES A 62 drive link bar that I can find.) They agreed to take my new chain in on trade for a new chain that fits a used bar they have that fits my saw. All good so far. So the guy goes back to put it all together for me (nice of him,) and then comes out and asks "why are you running low profile chain on this saw?" Which baffles me because I thought a .050 LP sprocket wouldn't run 3/8" chain. They assured me it would and then put the full size chain on the saw.
So my question to you all is, why on earth would you run LP chain if you could run full size chain?
Thanks
Ron
