Its been a long time since I have been able to spend any time on the site. Business is booming so surfing the net has really came to a halt. Anyway having trouble with my ported 359 throwing chains. We run saws for a living so all the basics have been covered. This saw is running about 15200 rpm and working with a 20"sprocke tip bar 3/8 50 semi chisel chain. Has tons of torque and speed which is great because we cut lots and lots of hedge posts so I don't really want to sprocket this thing down. But I just don't know. Is it running too fast for the setup I am working with?Need to try a different bar? We don't throw a chain every few months with our other saws, and that is usually doing tsi on some small crap so it happens. With the 359 we will throw 2 to 3 a day at least. Driving me crazy please help.
I will include some pics to hopefully help motivate some responses.
thanks all
Joe
