Bought a 2511 last week and have been using it this week. Sounded very dull to start with, and was a little sceptical to start with but didn't take to long to open up, must have had 5-7 tanks through it by now.

 

Unfortunately it came with the same bar and chain as my 540xp, I think? 3/8 0.5mm 12inch bar. Very juddery in larger cuts, I have figured out how to approach cuts to make it better, but looking to replace the cutting gear.

 

Talked to my Husqvarna dealer who supplied the saw, explained about the 0.43 gauge chains, he told me he could supply a 0.43 10inch Husqvarna bar and chain.. I asked about the drive sproket situation and he said it would run the same drive sprocket. So does this mean he's talking about a 3/8 lo pro .043 (1.1mm) gauge bar and chain? Is this the one I want or should I head to Stihl for a 1/4 chain and bar? (and sprocket)

 

Sorry all this is a bit over my head.

He is thinking 3/8 lo pro .043 not 1/4 .043 which is what you want.

 

Husky def don't have this chain. Your options are a Stihl bar (with an extra drive link) or a Sugihara bar with Sugi chain.

 

You would also need to change the drive sprocket to 1/4.

Thanks guys, I'll try the guys who sell sugi over here, but I'm not sure they'll have it - if not I'll go to Stihl. Does anyone know the part number for the drive sprocket, or is it in this thread somewhere? Excuse my ignorance but whats the difference/advantages of the 1/4 vs the 3/8, if they are both narrower?
