Issues with carving bars on MS150 - pics appreciated

Put this up on another thread but actually think it warrants it's own thread really!

 

 

I have a customer that has an MS150 and MS201 both back handled for carving.

 

 

He is saying that the sugi carving bars don't fit because the heel of the bars do not have the slot cut out like the Stihl bars do.

 

 

 

Can anyone furnish some pics as to show why this is?

 

 

I want to get some dedicated Sugi bars for the MS150 (they will be 10", .043 guage) and need to get it right. But want to understand why they have to have this slot at the heel of the bar.

 

 

 

Finally - how have those using the sprocket nose bar that comes with the saw found the sprocket nose has lasted? I would have thought carving with a sprocket nose bar would cause the sprocket to fail pretty quickly so would be interested to see how it has stood up....

Speaking to customer again it seems there is an allen screw that comes proud near where the heel of the bar sits... there is not enough room for the filled in part of the bar to sit behind this as it then hits the drive sprocket...

Cheers for the pics Dan.

 

 

I think for the MS150 the chain needs to be a drive link longer in order to fit the bar.

 

 

The MS192 I have has a 'proud' allen head - but the bar still slots in around it fine.
