Ported Stihl 50cc saws - Optimum Bar and chain setup

[hseII]

Some of my fast ported saws seem to almost spin out the picco chain ...it's hard to describe, of course it's all personal opinion

Yes Sir.

Your bar is upside down on the middle Saw bud...[emoji6]

OK. Good. I should have specified the worksaw cutting real round trees, like oak or maple type.
But I now realize what your worksaw is used for. [emoji106]

I use the 440 or 441 to cut trees ,the ,026 is too small to do that.

I was just debating putting an 18" Sugi on the new 261 but was worried about the 3/8 being too much. I have a 3/8 7 pin somewhere that I believe will fit it. I may just try both and see what I like the best. Then it may go to Randy and get tuned up.

I thought the 261 was for your son???

I have all my 50cc saws set up with .325x 18" and have most running a 8 pin sprocket, the MOFO 026 gained a good bit by going 8 pin over the 7 pin, and the 3x 2153/346 models seem to like it just fine too, they have plenty of speed to spare a little to gain the torque the 8 pin gives, but a 7 pin does really well on them as well.

Me Too, less I'm limbing, & the Baby Saw wants some Love.

I got the Dr Al 026 with 16" .325, converted it to square, and very happy with how it is. My 60 + 70 cc saws run 20" 3/8. Nice balance, and light weight for limbing.

The 550 Randy did for me runs an usually runs an 18 inch bar. 325" Full chisel/Square ground chain. I've only had a seven pin rim on it, but now I'm tempted to put an 8-pin on there. Should have the huevos to pull it. It's getting due for a new rim anyways…

I'd put an 8 on and not bat an eye

I like the torque of the smaller .325 rim....but the chain speed, less cutters and full 3/8 chassis can work well too. The best answer is have both and run what you feel like running.

Nice. They fit the 026's?

They should do , the 026 has the regular small spine, I have 2x MS261's with that friggin 'micro' size spline which I hate.

 

[Barneyrb]

I run the Picco full chisel on mine with a 7 pin rim and it works great.

Read the first two post.
Best Answer is:
Picco 0.050 aka: 3/8"LP
If you have run it on work saws you would understand my point. I run it on everything under 55 cc.

 

[TreeLife]

Now my debate is 550xp or 261cm?
