I know you are asking MattyF this question and I might ask the same > I like .325 on the shorter bars as you get more cutters . However the 560 in the u.s. is the 562 with the larger bar mount and a 3/8 drive . So it could be a 1 pitch chain for all thing .
-
Yea Steve Thats what I think . i also think its not progress ! If you ever come up with a way of fitting a carb with the twiddely bits Im first in line bud !
-
He should give it to ya as he is yer Dad !
-
So not all progress is actually forward then ?
-
What about the people who are near the cat when its being made ?
-
Its had a remap . its had a 2012 carb ( 2011 saw ) Its had the hotter plug fitted . I put the rim back to a 7 pin and its fine now . I still think it should be able to ruin an 8 pin though .

What I was clumsily trying to say is that I have/do run some of my saws with a higher gearing i.e. 8 pin rim instead of standard 7 pin . This gives a faster chain speed and as long as the bar length is not stupid they all cope fine . a 560, much as I love it won't . The out going 357 will cope . there fore , on paper , the 560 should cope . I think its the auto tune stepping in to prevent it . I think this as its the only one with auto tune .

Yea I got 2 of them . Fantastic saw when its running , can't be beat in the class , just needs a carb with twiddely bits to sort it . They plugged mine in to a pc and they told me how many hours it had run flat out and how many mins it had idled for ! I mean who gives one ?
-
Agreed . Apparently there is more pollution generated in the manufacture of a cat than a cat absorbs when in use .
-
Do costa supply a telescopic bore gauge and mic ? at all ?
-
For 373 read 372 of course .

Don't want to go over old ground so will get to the point. I run my 390 with a 28" bar 3/8 pitch and an 8 pin powermate rim . I run my aging 373 on a 24" bar 3/8 pitch and an 8 pin rim . I used to run my 357 on an 18" .325 pitch and an 8 pin rim . All with no protest at all . A 560 does not like it . It should be able to cos a 357 can . The only thing here that is different is auto tune ! Does anyone else think that auto tune stops you getting the full potential out of a saw ?

Take your bar off ,put a crud scraper down the groove and dig out all the build up . Make sure the oil feed in hole is clear . Make sure the nose sprocket is free and you can turn it by hand . Make sure there are no burrs folded into the groove and file off any on the outer edge if there are any . Make sure the bar is not pinched anywhere , prize it open slightly if it is . Sharpen the chain and set the rakers correctly . Tension the chain correctly with the bar tip pushed up . Go cut wood . If it still gives you trouble then it needs investigating in the shop . Maybe try a different bar and chain combo none to be good . Beyond that beats me !

As has been stated by pleasant there are many options avliable on most pro saws . Oregon manufacture a bar with xxxxxx09 as part of its part number . This bar will fit allot of saws in various sizes, pitches, and gauges . The main thing to be sure of is that the oiler outlet on the saw body lines up with the in feed hole in the bar . Look up on the Oregon site for options for your saw .

Ditto that about the 560 with an 18" bar until ---I had the hotter plug fitted by my dealer . This is a recomendation from Husqvarna Technical. Now its fine .
-
560 .
-
346 13"-15"bar , 372 20"-24bar 390 28"-36" bar . Should cover most situations
-
Oh . Really sorry about that Mark . Do you think o.p. has got some useful info now
-
Love it Tee Hee
-
Cracks me up ! :lol:
-
Ah . The Cadbury saw !
-
Next door they got a see saw
-
The whole police situation is totally pants and to top it all they are closing all the village police stations and laying coppers off left right and center . Tony Martin had it right !
-
I got cold saw from drinking out of a cracked cup .
-
I agree with Miker that if you got a pro saw it may never be used to its full potential but that won t hurt it . Also it does not mean you cant have one if you want one . I would get the best saw I could afford . The bigger the powerhead the least stressed it would be so the longer it will last ( providing out do the usual maintaining of it ) You fill yer boots bud !
