"loading" the saw and running in 346xp/5100s

I've been toying with the idea for another Husky but their IPL doesn't list a .325x8 nor does Oregon. Also, it appears that switch from 3/8 to .325 requires switching the "worm wheel" which engages the pump I believe. I'm wondering if this wouldn't have to be larger in order to mesh with the sprocket rim?

I got it from my Husky dealer, and Oregon sure have them - they are listed on the web-site (p/n 11891 for small 7-spline).

I tried out a 9pin .325 Stihl sprocket today on my modded ms260. I have determined this combo is very close to a 3/8 8pin setup and the 3/8 chain is a hair quicker. The 9pin gets the chain moving so quick that chip removal becomes a problem in 8"+ wood but both setups are good. Im going to use the .325 chain for a while but switch back to the 3/8 chain because it seems to be the best setup. I am running a 16"stihl rollamatic bar.

Sounds reasonable, not really surprized at all....
