Will defo at getting that part off ebay

The ebay link was just an example to show that the 261 and 291 might use the same sprocket.

Take both saws apart and see if the sprockets are inter changeable.

Personally I would go down the rim sprocket route so I could run 7x325,8x325 and 7x3/8.

Genuine Stihl Spur Sprocket MS261 MS271 MS291 MPN 1141 640 2001 .325" 7T Tracked | eBay

This is the part number spud recommended .

According to Kwikchip this sprocket fits 261 and 291.

There fore your sprockets should be inter changeable.

If that is the case , then order a 261" power mate " clutch drum with 325 and 3/8 rims.

The 261 is slightly more powerful but lighter than the 291.

The 2014 Stihl catalogue has the 291 running 325 and using the same bar and drive link count as the 261.

I can't help you with sprocket part numbers but you should be able to do what you want.

Will the 261 clutch drum fit on the 291 ?

First I've heard of it - obviously my side of Modbury is too well kept and tidy!

Oats aren't too bad,Its the way wheat has been bred for high yields , protein and gluten that is bad for our diet.

I've lost 2 stone since April , by cutting out the Dohnuts,cookies,muffins and alcohol.Also reduced the sugar,bread,pasta potatoes and rice and replaced with extra veg.

I eat more fish and nuts which I like ,but I won't give up milk,cream and butter.

Your 136 should be 1.6 Kw

The 435 is also 1.6 Kw and runs 0.325" pixel.

December 2012 you asked "what chain for Husky 350?"

What did you do then ?

If you're not sure which sprocket you have - lo pro will be 6 tooth.

A quick look on the Oregon product selector and 3/8 sprockets are available if you want lo pro.

I guess it depends on which sprocket you have,what condition its in and what other bars and chains you have.

Original Equipment would be 13" bar,pixel chain and .325 sprocket.

Usually the idle screw stops the throttle closing all the way.

You need to investigate why it's not making any difference - why its not pushing the throttle open.

A picture paints a thousand words

I'm guessing the diaphragm is O.K or it would be leaking.

My C.P has a knob inside to change between High and Low pressure.

It works a bit like a bayonette light bulb so H compresses the relief valve spring a bit more than L.

The plastic pipe that the knob fits on corroded ,causing the knob to pop up and create no pressure.

Is yours like that ?

Probably just cosmetic - to stop nut/bolthead or spanner/socket damaging paintwork during assembly.

Received a letter from Devon C.C requesting 6 meters for surface dressing back in February.I gave them a ring,thinking the legal requirement was about 5.2M ,and was told it needs to be 6 meters to tip the chipping lorries.

New CAP cross compliance rules for 2015

"a longer 'no trimming' season for hedges will run from 1 March until 31 August 2015.This will also apply to trees from the start of 2015"

There is no mention of any change to the coppicing dates.

The forestry commission define a tree as greater than 150mm at 1.3 meters.

How can you cut 5 cube of firewood a quarter when you can't cut for 6 months ?

Everygreen Oak?

Bought some Husqvarna classics last week - seem ideal for the O.P - been cutting back over grown hedges and ditches this week.

March 1990 - 85mph up Haldon hill in a Nova SR

3 points + £30 fine - couldn't find my licence - glove box full of empty condom boxes.

I can see where Rover is coming from.

Banana bought a 3 year old 65cc 365 for £457

F.R.J will deliver a brand new 70cc 365 for £456+vat

It all depends if you are Vat registered or not.

365 special is 65.1 cc

Mine takes 4 pulls on choke to fire then 2 more with choke in to run.

The 545,555 and 365 are Husqvarna's semi pro range - 50,60 or 70cc

All 3 are X-Torq and the 545 and 555 are Auto tune.

My 365 special is great for felling and cross cutting,but too heavy to use on small stuff all day.

Check your 18" .325" bars will fit they as usually are small mount (Oregon K095)

365 and upwards require large mount (Oregon K009) unless you intend to modify.

It will be easier to put .325" sprocket or RSN on a large mount bar.

HI CJ they look good mate he no.s his stuff thanks jon

My cousin Roger has come along way - 30 years ago he was repairing his neighbour's L/Rs in a corragated shed on Bodmin moor.
