Tiny echo!

Yeah, but the Sugihara chain is mutually inclusive you the bar. You shouldn't run a Sugi. 043 chain on a stihl bar or vice versa.

Seriously? Why's that?

As far as I know Sugihara made the nose sprocket on their 0.043 bar slightly different to the stihl one. So running one on the other is likely to damage the chain and nose sprocket.

 

You might get away with it, I wouldn't risk it though.

I don't think you can get away with it. Rob put a video on YouTube showing what happens when you put the wrong chain on. It's more than a little bit out

But they are both 0.043 and 1/4 pitch?

Yeah it's ridiculous that the chains aren't interchangeable between the bars

Has anyone drilled the exhaust on theirs yet like the 150? Did it make it better?

[TOMLEAF]

Have one for sale if anyone interested pm me.

A while ago I got a Sugihara bar and chain for the saw as a comparison with the Stihl.

Out the box the Sugi chain was dire, chattering in the cut, very slow and just felt awful.

Anyway, I conveyed this to Rob at Chainsawbars who told me that I should sharpen the chain and that it should be better.

Well, I can now report that after a careful sharpen it is brilliant. There's still a slight occasional chatter in the cut but I'm sure that will disappear with another few file strokes. It definitely cuts as fast or faster than the Stihl chain.

10/10 to Rob D for the usual stellar advice.

Same as the oregon chain then

I found there was a definite knack to starting it. The chain brake was one of the things.

 

I think as the saw beds in the carb needs a tweak. Mine runs on when warm so I've been advised to wind the l screw out 1/8 a turn.
