Rim sprocket small spline which way

[deye223]

Ok brains trust I was talking to the local dealer the other day and I asked him which way was the correct way to put a rim sprocket on a 260 261 he's answer was option 2.

Option 1


Option 2


So what say you which way .

One of my owners manual clearly stated option 1. I don’t have supporting documentation, but I remember stupid things like that. I run them either way, distributes the wear...

 

[deye223]

That's what I told him option one because if you have it the other way around all the crud and s*** doesn't get out .

Option 1. page 50. owners manual.

yes that’s what I do, the sprocket floats so the crud would not stay for long . I see it as a swap it around thing while I change the bar etc. That way you get a few more hrs out of the rim.
I know what the manual says..

I have to store my saws without bars on most of the time, So I get to see the rim regularly

I flip the sprockets around either way for even wear too.

I’ve pulled the rim sprocket off every saw I’ve ported. There has never once been any crud on the backside. But I could see the cavities outward having some sort of cooling properties. Minimal at best I’d imagine

Every brand new saw I bought was option 2...

I think it's silly to even worry about.

Where's julie and his toy gun when you need him to check drum temps from rim orientation ?

I think he’s done with saws and spending his time testing new women

Thems a hell of a lot more expensive than saws .

 

[Deets066]

Really doesn’t matter, they run either way.

I’ve never seen build up of crud in a sprocket.

And Ya can't shut them off!

I have ran them both ways mostly option 2 simply because on the larger saws there are no holes in a Sprocket unless it's an 8 pin large spline I was just asking him .

 

[Red97]

You guys change them?

I didn't think he was into the opposite sex. I guess I picked on him for no reason.
