Not sure yet. I'm going through it completely before I fire it up. With the short bar I've got, it'll probably go like hell.Never had a chance to run the mac 125. Is less chain speed/ more torque than a 2100?
Is it running .404 or 3/8 chain.Not sure yet. I'm going through it completely before I fire it up. With the short bar I've got, it'll probably go like hell.
You might consider getting a .063 bar. Sp125= chain snapping torque.I'll try it. I happen to have a large mount Husky .058 around here some place. Thanks.
I ordered up 25' of Stihl .063/.404 The bar on this saw is still pretty good so I'll run it for now. Thanks for the info.You might consider getting a .063 bar. Sp125= chain snapping torque.
I seriously doubt that had ANYTHING to do with a lean condition. Lean does not cause a saw to grenade. Is that a newish piston?About half way through our VERY long day this saw suddenly stopped in the cut. The sound was quite impressive. Even the guy running the splitter nearby stopped, and looked up. I already had one saw in the shop, and the shop was on the way home so I said f-it and dropped it off. They said the air filter was plugged solid causing a lean condition, and therefore kaboom. I was surprised that after only three tanks of gas the air filter would collect so much saw dust. Wood was a mixture of green hardwoods (mostly) and some pine. I pretty much knew the cylinder was at least shot when the starter wouldn't move. I had no idea it was so bad though. Since I hadn't torn a saw apart, I figured I had nothing to lose.
I had a loop of square ground skip made for mine. I am also running .063 .404 I myself cannot sharpen square either. When it dulls I will more than likely use a round file on it and convert it over. But I will have to say that with a 42 inch bar it rips. I am running a 7 pin on mine. I can pull on the handle as hard as i want with the bar buried and it just keeps on chewing.I ordered up 25' of Stihl .063/.404 The bar on this saw is still pretty good so I'll run it for now.
