  1. Its not a case of designing a new 3/8" chain as theres nothing to change 3/8 is 3/8 the only way a 3/8 chain would run on 39 - 55 cc saws would be re- gear the sprocets to suit a 3/8 chain this would be unsuitable for the power output of such saws. What is so world shatteringly special about any cc saw they all have a place. I certainly would'nt want to use the 441 to cut christmas trees all day as i would,nt want to use the 346 to fell large trees:thumbup:
  2. But the gear ratio would not support this, unless you were purely working on soft woods were the tolerances are greater. I used to run husky 254 on 3/8 pitch but i was working in Corsican / lodge-pole mix however try the same set up on a beech or ash or similar, even a knotty pine could cause problems. Simply buying a 262 would have been a better option.
  3. its also scaled down to suit, same pitch diferent size. A 3/8 chain on say a 346 or ms260 would cause the engines to struggle whereas a 3/8 picco/pixcel would not be upto the job expected of it so .325 pitch gives us a happy medium:thumbup1: Weve not mentioned 1/4" or 404" pitch yet.

    step cut

    :confused1:
  5. Its to do with gearing the saw. The nose sprocket and the drive sprocket make a gear ratio linked by the chain so therefor require the correct pitch of chain appropriate to the size/power of the saw. Hence changing the chain pitch on a saw will re-gear it. Hope that makes sense:thumbup1:

  14. husqvarna H36 part no.501-84-21-no of drive link ie 40 (501-84-21-40) It might be that they have changed the new roller guides to 90 degrees, how old is yours?
  15. On the roller guide it will have the specific identification for the chain to be used.
  16. Husky roller guides are chain specific. So you will need to use a husky pixel chain 3/8 pitch 1.3 gauge the same chain they use on the husky top hander:thumbup1: P.S the roller guide you use should be black Silver .325 pitch Blue 3/8 pitch Black 3/8 pixel
  17. heres ours:thumbup1:
