Have a 251 wood boss that I have been accompishing with so far (only 1 year logged in at this). So...2nd season and I want an upgrade saw. A ms 310 powerhead-only fell in my lap and I want 20" for now...i will upgrade again when I get another deal. I plan on RM chain because it is dirty wood and I am only doing a few trees a year.
I read tons of discussion on this as many of you are aware....but I wanted to see how many would switch it to .325 chain with that size bar and workload for this particular saw. The only time I am using it will be in 18"+ wood (I can use the smaller 251 for the rest). Let's say you already had both sprockets/rims (3/8 & .325) but needed to purchase the b/c. Carb will be modified according to the helpful suggestions on this site. This is a 59cc, 4 HP older engine but is supposed to operate normally. Thanks.
