New Chain Problems on Husky 240

[spudulike]

i had a 240 and im sure it was running .325 pixel chain (15inch) and i can remember it cutting well

0.325 and 1.3mm would be the normal choice with a semi chisel chain! Other options may work but won't feel as good in use.

You will find an Oregon Micro Lite Pro and 95VPX will run nicely on your saw. Your local dealer sounds like he doesn't know much about saws if he reckons 0.325 bar and chain will run on a 3/8 sprocket of vice versa!

 

Thanks Spudulike. The bar is an Oregon Micro Lite Pro and the chain a Husqvarna 21. In fairness the handbook that came with the saw says that the chain can be 3/8 or 0.325 and the sprocket only shows as number of teeth being 7, which I guess means that it is a common sprocket ?. Thanks to all. Going back to dealer.

Have a look here - Chain | bar | sprocket identification

 

I wrote these pages for exactly this reason so you can ID what you have.

 

The pitch of the chain must match the pitch of the sprocket.

 

I have a range of Husky bars and chains to suit your saw so let me know if you need any help.
