Husky sprockets!

[Stubby]

Mmmm porting! I want to send it to spud to get it checked over anyway to see why it seized, but not sure about porting it.

 

I think al stick with the 7 rim on it, want to keep a 15 bar on it.

 

I sold my stihl to get a husky to port now I'm thinking....no:confused1:

 

Spud ported my 346 yonks ago . Still going strong on a 15" full chiz .325 driven by an 8 pin . You wont regret it .....

Sounds good, might be tempted

Not a temptation. Rather a forward thinking decision to improve efficiency. You will either spend less time using your 346, or get more done in the same amount of time.

Its an investment that will pay back. Its a bit like going from a DIY store brand saw to a pro saw. I may be exaggerating a little, but not alot. Also its not irreversible. Its a shame the manufacturers have their hands tied with regulations that they cannot make them like this to start with.

Just get a .325x8 rim, and find out yourself what you like best. Changing to a spur would just be stupid on all accounts (if it even is possible).

 

There are a lot of variables involved, so don't just og by what someone else has experienced!

8 rim I think... And it's going to Steve

Remember it may bog down ( dependent on wood ) with an 8 pin until its ported ......

It may - but it doesn't always even on a stock saw - depending on the cutting at hand and some other factors. I often use an 8-pin on mine for limbing, but it has its limitations.

 

Changing the rims on those saws back and forth are much easier than many people think it is - no special tools or piston stops are needed, just a suitable chisel or screwdriwer, and a hammer or other suitable tool to hit it with.
