I thought he just dipped his blade in Yamabond?

 

[HuskStihl]

I've found if you can't sharpen a chain all that well, the scabbard is really not that important!

Got an Echo for $3.99 at HD...20"...cut it to 18" w.my miter saw...2 secs...looks good on my Dolmar!...Hey, and I only tried to start the saw once w/it ON!...probably won't happen again...

I just duct tape my bar up real good. All it takes is a few good piss rev's to remove it.

I have a neighbour who is really good at sharpening so it's a non issue now ... The same neighbour has is going to visit the husky dealer for me when he down that way later today

Something i just noticed ... i was under the impression the gauge for the chain was 0.58... I just noticed that the box for the chain that came with the saw says 0.50 .... good or bad !!!!

 

[Mike from Maine]

Just go cut some wood.

 

[snoozeys]

It's raining haha

This is just weird ... according to husky website the gauge is 0.58 but when the saw arrived all the gearing was 0.50 ... The local husky dealer confirmed it should be 0.58 .. I bought 2 new chains from an online mowstore I have used in the past and they are 0.58 .. so I need to either buy some 0.50 chains or bar and sprocket to go with my new chains

 

[dougand3]

Did you buy the saw from "local husky dealer"? If so, the dealer should make it the way it's supposed to be. Why would the factory list .058 and then throw a .050 sprocket on it?

 

[snoozeys]

I ordered it from a husky dealership out of state

 

[Trx250r180]

The guage is the bar groove ,sprocket should be 3/8 and work with both chains

 

[snoozeys]

Bottom line is can i run both 0.50 and 0.58 chains on a 0.50 bar without wrecking the bar

Duh on me. I was thinking 3/8 vs .325 sprocket.

No, like TRX says, the bar slot is either .050" or .058" - your chain should be what the bar calls for.

Have you tried the fit as you have the .058 chain and .050 bar if I have read correctly above. I kind of think you would damage the clutch not the bar if you could get the drivers in the slot.

 

[snoozeys]

Im thinking i might offload my 0.058 in favour of 0.050 but in saying that does one offer an advantage over the other ???
