I'm sure he didn't - he changed the rim first (to regular 3/8" - not 3/8 lo-pro).
-
3/8" lo pro, not .325.
-
There are no 3/8" lo-pro/Picco rims in regular production, that will fit the clutch drum of those saws. Picco rims only are made for the Stihl mini 7-spline drums, not for the small or the regular 7-spline drums. Regular 3/8 is no problem, but hardly was the main question.
-
I regard the .325x7 setup on many European sold 560xp saws as a bad joke - and it obvoiusly isn't making the most out of the availiable power. A change to 3/8" (or .325x8) is in order. ...and try some chisel chain (21LPX/H21 in .325, or 73LPX/H42 in 3/8").
-
There aren't many pro saw designs that has had as many "hassles" as the Dolmar PS-5000 family (mainly the 5100S and the early 5105s) - but it seems to be a time of the past by now. They are heavy for 50cc saws though, and aren't very nimble saws to handle.
-
Looks like RS3 ("safety" chain) in the picture, not RS. That is not something I would want......
-
You may have to order 25RS-64 or 25RM-64, as I believe relatively few dealers will . have it in stock with that dl count. Personally, I have stopped ordering Stihl chain for my Huskys, as I mostly prefere Oregon 21LPX/Husky H21 anyway in .325.
-
Ime, chisel is easier to sharpen correctly, as the referenses are better defined. Semi may be more forgiving, but it doesn't really help if you know what you do, only if you really don't have a clue.
-
One of the many factories that Husky owns is the old European McCulloch factory in Italy - so I suspect that is where that Mac is made? That factory has made homeowner class saws for several of the Husky (earlier Electrolux) owned brands.
-
That likely is because both the Partner and the Mac are made by Poulan. Husky own all those brands, and many more.
-
Not what I would want for a 24" bar - but of course it will do it.
-
For porting, a 346 is a better starting point than a 550 - but maybe not if both are kept stock.
-
I fail to see what is the issue here?
-
The picture in that link is misleading, and is showing a later semi-pro saw - but the other info is good.
-
Exactly, unless you happen to find a NOS 346xp. The 261 is an over bulky, over heavy contraption, with bad handling - definately not what a 50cc saw should be.
-
As far as I know, it is the same saw as the Dolmar PS-420. Makita bought Dolmar from Sachs in 1992 or so, and all Makita petrol saws made after that are rebranded Dolmars.
-
There have been two very different P420 saws, the smaller (and newer) one is a Poulan made "homeowner" saw with a plastic case, the old one is a true Partner made 65cc pro saw from the 1970s.
-
A Chinese 52cc one, with 2,7 or so hp? And no, they aren't a replica, just a scam!
-
You just need a 372xp - and the 395xp is a huge monster of a saw, for a 24" bar.
-
That's a lot of bar on a 60cc saw - balance is more of an issue than power though, provided you use skip chain.
-
Those 14" bars really are 13" bars, so the problem doesn't really exist!
-
The rim is 504 52 30-02 (Oregon 18720).
-
I hear you - and will test it out when I get around to it!
-
That likely is best with a 68dl 18" bar - but you don't really know before you have tried both.
