Chainsaw Repair

Well I made my very first YouTube videos and would like to share them with you all.
My 12 year daughter taught me how to make these videos so we had a great father - daughter time getting this done.

I got my 2012 562 with 18" Cannon Super Mini bar converted over to .325 .This is my main go to tree service saw and it has approximately 1500 hours on it now, never had the cylinder off and have only done a mild muffler mod to it.
I'm running a Stihl 23RSC chain on it with a 7 pin .325 rim. Where these videos come in is where I'm doing a test with 7, 8, and 9 pin rims. These videos have tested both the 7 and 8 pin .325 rim with brand new 23RSC with a light touch up with a 3/16" file in 8"x8"wood.
In days to come I'll run the 9 pin and then the 7 pin with a 28" b/c. In 14"x10" wood.
I'll finish off with 3/8" and 3/8"Picco.

So here we go 1st video with a 7 pin .325 .Pretty roughly done as this is my first time , got my saws year mixed up and called the chain a 33RS
I forgot to swap the dogs over for the smooth bumper pad which gave me a hard time settling into the first cut and the up cut as the dogs were snagging the wood. Did all 3 videos with the dogs on the saw.
First time I did a cold start in over 10 years, and haven't made competitive cuts like these in 15.
I'm pushing 60 and not as quick as I used to be, but with a little practice I can be competitive again.
 1st video 10.49 seconds 2nd video 11.04 seconds 3rd video 9.91 seconds

In .325 that (RSC) is my favorite chain. You are saying all the right and typical things  +1

Keep up with the good posts

It's the one I get if given  a choice in 325.

Wow that was interesting !  I've never been to a chainsaw competition, maybe a stupid question but what are those dogs you mentioned ?

That was no chainsaw competition, I was just playing in my back yard with my 12 year old daughter.
The dogs are the spikes bolted to the front crankcase of the saw to grab onto the log for pivoting the bar /chain in the cut for leverage when bucking or felling a tree.

This surely is interesting, and I see some testing of different setups on the 560xpg in my future....
