It has the stock bar and chain. If anyone has a kit they recommend with the file and rake tool i'd appreciate it.

I think the factory calls for a 11/64" file but I always like just a little bigger then recommended. As far as rakers, just get a simple Oregon .025" raker gauge and flat file set. They run around 5-10 bucks.

Most likely 3/8 lp. I use 5/32" files on those. Post some good pictures of bar near mount, both sides and your chain
