bar length question

[Evan629]

wat is the longest bar i should put on a 38cc saw

Depends on the saw in question and your expectations - I say 13", others may say 16".

 

[huskydave]

16" max more importantly run .325 chain with a 7 tooth sprocket and keep the chain razor sharp.

 

[Evan629]

it has 16 inch on it the bar says 3/8

I say 16" max, 12" to 14" for better/realistic performance and 3/8's low profile or narrow kerf chain.

An easy way to figure out what bar size when in doubt.

If you are on the:
West Coast: Small saw = longest bar

East Coast: Large saw = shortest bar
