Man, chainsaws are so much more complicated than I thought.
I bought a Stihl 310 a while back. I have no clue what bar, chain, or sprockets were on it.
I recently replaced the clutch sprocket with this:
To me, that tells me, no matter what I had before, I just made my saw a 3/8" pitch.
I also bought this:
I am now thinking that I bought a sharpener that is incompatible with the chains that my new clutch sprocket will demand (3/8" pitch).
1. Is that right?
Further, I have a smaller Stihl (can't remember the model). I don't know what pitch it is, but I'll look at the bar.
2. Does that mean I may need to buy a 3/8" sharpener for my 310 and its chain and then, if my smaller one is .325 pitch... I'll need a second sharpener?

Also, I guess if my 310 was originally .325, that means all my old chains will not fit the new 3/8 clutch sprocket I put on? So, I throw them in the garbage?
Dang I'm confused.
