Tiny echo!

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.

 

What size cutting gear is on yer saw OMTC?

Mine was cutting superbly with the 0.043 Sugi chain yesterday, but was still a PITA to start.

Easier with the chain brake off.

Waiting for my carb screwdrivers to arrive so I can fix it/ruin it completely.

Came with the saw so about 6 months? The saw isn't used everyday and about half way through it's sharpening life. Gonna put the 2510 bar and chain on it tomorrow and see if it's much different to the sugi one

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.

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.
