    chainsaw question

    Larger saw in any of its four configurations. Which model does your buddy have. I believe they run anywhere from 60cc to low 70s.

    Poulon/Craftsman 42cc

    When I had one, I moved it down to a 16" bar and bought some pro chain. The pro chain was the best move.

    Buying a Chain Saw

    Tip them over on their side and start making noodles. This works best when the bar can cut all the way through the round.

    New chain - are you kidding me?!!!

    Go ahead and buy a loop of Stihl RSC and save it for some good clean wood. You'll see yet another speed difference. But they do dull a bit faster.
