Hi,
I have recently bought a second hand stihl 023 chainsaw for my first chainsaw and it has a .325 pitch chain, 15 inch chain bar and 7 tooth sprocket.
I have ordered a new chain bar that is 16 inch and 3/8 pitch, i am wondering what tooth sprocket to use, i have seen you can get a 6 or a 7. I was thinking about going the 7 tooth as that is whats on it but i am unsure which one would get the most out of the chainsaw.
From what i have read the set up at the moment isnt the normal set up for the 023 and the reason i got the new 3/8 pitch 16 inch chain bar is when i entered the details of the chainsaw that is what it said it should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
