Cool. The 8 tooth picco rims are hard to find. In harder wood my stock 241 is faster with a 7 tooth .325" rim than an 8 tooth but in picco it would pull it easily.

Ill mostly be cutting clean green so I think the picco will work good. Im gonna square file some to see of the shoulder support on the square vs the fine point on the round will stay sharper?

I've heard a few people say that square stays sharper for longer than round filed chisel although I've found the opposite.

The picco filed at 35 makes a small fine point that seems to damage pretty easy. Im thinkin the square with the extra shoulder support may stay sharper on the picco but on larger chain round may stay sharper longer?

Whats a heated handle 241 go for?
I'm running the 7t .325 sprocket off of a 251. I don't know if an 8T would go very well with that size chain in my wood. In reality it really doesn't matter to me. I won't be changing anytime soon. Cutting off small tops and odd limbs before it goes into the processor is all this saw will see this year.
Not on an MTronic saw.

Brad can these be run without a base gasket or is lathe work required?
Factory squish was .028, so the gasket cannot be deleted.

Thanks for the response Brad

How about dropping the gasket and losing about .010 in the dome Brad?
That would work. I simply cut the base and tightened the squish, and ended up at 178 PSI.
Here's another.

At 62dl it is only a 16 1/2" or so bar though...

I thought the 16 " picco seemed small??? So the 16 is really a 14 1/2?
Just picked up one of these saws off eBay and just waiting for it to arrive. It is coming as power head only so I will be looking for a good bar/chain combo.
