ms230c chain

[dig-dug-dan]

Excuse my ignorance, but I replaced the bar and chain on my saw, and the chain jams on the sprocket. When I compared it to the old chain, the drive links are closer togther.

does anyone know what chain I need to buy? Its a 14"

Its also the quick tension model

Sounds like the chain you have is the wrong pitch for the bar/sprocket

It seems to be ok on the bar, but not the sprocket. Can I change the sprocket?

Sounds like you have a .325 chain on a 3/8" Picco sprocket. If so, the chain won't fit the nose sprocket of the bar either.

 

Get the proper chain.

[dig-dug-dan]

Ok. Any idea what that should be. Picco micro?

From you description, I would say that you have a 3/8 low profile sprocket and have incorrectly purchased a 0.325 bar and chain.

 

Two options

 

1) Buy the correct bar and chain

 

2) Swap the sprocket

 

This would do it -http://www.lsengineers.co.uk/rim-sprocket-kit-0-325-7t-for-stihl-ms230-ms230c-part-no-1123-007-1032.html

 

Rim drive is a better option IMO.

 

Or this if you want a spur sprocket -http://www.lsengineers.co.uk/chain-sprocket-0-325-7t-for-stihl-ms250-ms250c-part-no-1123-640-2074.html

 

Avoid the "8T" options as it will make your saw boggy:thumbdown:

 

It will be worth double checking that you do in fact have a 0.325 chain but if the pitch is smaller (the rivits are closer to each other), It must be that.

The chain you have got is 3/8 and the bar you have is .325 The gauge of the chain is also 1.3mm and the gauge of the bar is 1.6mm They wont work together.
