Chainsaw Repair

I'm not sure what all was in the group I ran.

There was 3 different new or like new .325's and the PS outran them soundly.
I know another member of our "group" who is currently changing his NE346 over to PS and is going to change his MS261 over too.
The PS is just so easy to keep the saw wound up into the upper powerband.
For limbing, the cut is over before the RPM starts to drop.

That 63PS is impressive.  I'm definitely going to have to try it on my S25-CVA and PP295.  I have an 18" 3/8-LP bar for the 295.  Will get a 3/8-LP spur sprocket to try 63PS.  Would be nice if they made 3/8-LP rims for small 7-spline drums. 

I do have a rim drive drum setup (3/8-LP) for an XXV series Poulan.  The rims are a goofy 9-spline setup.  I can only find 3/8-LP and 1/4" pitch rims for that drum.  Been wanting to try .325 on one of my S25's (for the heck of it)....

I was told that they don't make 3/8 low pro rim sprockets because the diameter would be too small. Maybe if they went up to more teeth per sprocket, but that would have other implications.

I think I've read that too.  The nine spline 3/8LP rim that have for that Poulan XXV rim-drive drum is six pin.  The tiny nine spline drum shank is what allows that configuration (3/8LP-6) to work I guess.

I only did for short periods of time Aaron for testing and fun to just see. Not long enough to see any wear patterns etc. Lets just say it worked fine on a 60cc poulan for giggles.
