Morning Eddy and Stubby. Can I run a 8t and a 3/8 on the sugi I got as I bought it with a .325 Stihl micro chisel ?

 

 

You'll have to change the nose sprocket on the bar. You also need to make sure all the parts match, as usually Stihl chain is .063, whereas husky is .058 gauge! Also husky uses k095 mount bars, Stihl used k041 iirc.

 

Also, running 3/8 8t requires clutch drum no. 575 26 10-04, as that is the standard size splined drum. My current (stock) 560 runs 9t .325 on 18" b&c, it runs like a freight train!

 

But as stubby says, pull the spark screen out, or it'll be coked in 10 minutes!

Thanks Eddy your a star.

Just a quick addition . If you want to up the gearing with the least amount of fuss an 8 pin .325 will run a standard 18" chain loop . If you go 9 pine you may have to add a driver or two ....
