Hello,
Is is OK to use a 56 link chain on an Echo CS-370 if I also use the appropriate size guide bar (a spare Oregon 16 inch guide bar built for a 56 link chain)?
The Echo comes with a slightly longer guide bar (still called 16 inch) and a 57 link chain. I know I can't put the 56 link chain on that bar. But if I use that Oregon guide bar and a 56 link chain, am I going to damage my Echo?
Here's the deal. I had a Poulan 16 inch for years that worked great. Bought a new Poulan several years ago and it never worked. Gave up and bought an Echo. So I have these like new chains and a new guide bar for the new Poulan that won't work. I'd like to be able to use them on the Echo if I can.
