Did try an 8 pin which is fine on a 15" combo but found the A/T got a bit confused on an 18" . Got the Sugi bar from Rob D on here . ( chainsaw bars ) To be honest I had m,y 560 " tweeked " by petemate on here and its a complete loony ....

Yea spark screen out is a given on any saw for me . Pete is a bit cagey about what he does but a muffler mod is quite obvious as you can see the weld line where he has cut and shut it . I think he does something to the electronics as well but not sure . All I know is I don't have any hot start issues and its a bit louder with a lot more go .

Yea Jon I would say the Sugi bar is of higher quality than the standard Husky one . You can get a power head only and a 16" bar that is 3/8 but you will need a 3/8 power mate rim .

I'm guessing you're planning on getting a 562 clutch drum to run 8t 3/8 then Jon?
