What chain for the 560xp

[Paul Smith]

Who uses what and why? Looking to buy a new saw and I'd like to hear your thoughts please. Also stick with the standard 7 pin drive of stick an 8 on?

 

Thanks!

I use a 560 with an 18" full chiz. standaed 7 pin . Tried an 8 pin which was ok on a 15" bar but when I used the 8pin on the 18" bar the auto tune got all confused . Since had it tuned by "petemate" so its well fast enough on the 7 pin.

Is that 3/8 or .325? I'm going to get Pete to port my 395 when I get round to it!

.325

Its running .325

I wouldn't be worried about what chain to put on the 560 mate, I'd be more worried about the reliability of it, mine has been nothing but trouble and will be on eBay soon.

3/8 15" 7 pin runs fine . Easyer with 3/8 so I can use the same reel for all the other saws.

If you do get one always use the decomp button to start it otherwise you will eventually clap out the pull start . Remember the ignition is always in the ON position . When you switch off it resets to on . I had trouible with mine in the early days . was sorted with an updated carb and a hotter spark plug all done under warranty . No problems since . I think it is a stonking saw . Best 60cc saw I have had .

Your lucky, I have had 3 brake bands and I have had 3 starter coil pulls, I use the de comp button every time:( it is a stinking saw when working but mine is just to unreliable. I have lost faith in the entire husky brand, I love my 346 and my 372, but I won't be buying anything else from them. The customer service has a lot to answer for;)

Hodge , man that is bad news . My customer service is top banana from my dealer ( D M chainsaws Walberton west Sussex ) and any thing over the top is sent to spud . ( I must confess I don't use the chain break , I am an old git and never been in the habit ) They don't make em like they did but tjhen they were less powerful and less chuckable back then . I guess there is a bit of a trade off .
