saw troll stikes again!!
Just telling how it is- and it isn't exactly news!
saw troll stikes again!!
The fluke has been working for years with all my husqvarna and jonsered saws and now my new 2252 won't take it.
So the NK bar must be thinner than the standard bar (outside dimension, not the width of the groove) and the tolerances of the clutch/side cover on the 2252 must be tighter than on the other saws.
You mentioned that the spacers caused an oil leak - did they allow the chain to rotate freely? Can you see if the chain is binding more on the powerhead or cover side? You might be able to make up more elaborate spacers to address the oil holes, or Dremel some material off the cover for chain clearance, but probably easier to just match the bar and chain.
Philbert,
Yes the chain rotates freely but the open gap allows oil to leak. It binds more on the powerhead. As you said it's wiser to match the bar and chains ! Thanks for your input.
I will go to my dealer and get some NK chains. I like to shave off some weight when limbing and the small 15inch NK bar is perfect for that. Originally I wanted to get the 2253 WH but they are not sold in Canada at this time, so I got the 550XPG,
and then this deal came up for the 2252, I couldn't resist. I'm surprised how powerful it is compared to the 550XPG. It lacks revboost but seems to have a smoother powerband. I can feel the difference in power at the high end, this 550XPG screams ! Thanks to all for the info ! Bruno.
Not to Canada!!!Bailey's often has low prices on Carton/Woodland Pro NK kerf chain if you want a few more loops. Think there is free shipping on chains right now.

Anybody from Canada have ordered from south of the border ? xchange rate + shipping + Customs fees + GST + PST+ Canada Post handling fee ...
Who knows, may be it's cheaper to buy stuff from Norway !

Philbert,I don't get the shipping to Canada thing - it should be easier, and less expensive. Chinese companies on eBay ship stuff to the US for free, and it arrives in a few days.
I know a couple of companies that have set up separate operations on either side of the border to address this. Maybe it is easier with wholesale shipments, or in bulk?

The cost of shipping from the US to Canada is very high, much more than offshore.
