I have a Stihl 015 av that I have a new bar and chain for. The new bar and chain is 3/8" but the saw is set up for 1/4" pitch. What All would I have to replace on the saw to convert it over to 3/8"?

The drive sprocket is the other item that has to be changed to do a size chain on any saw... Depending on the saw you might also need to change the clutch drum, depending on whether the sprocket and drum are one piece or if you have a rim sprocket... Not sure which your saw uses.
