Chainsaw Repair

I'm going to try and explain this as clear and slowwww as I can so anyone with  any amount of  in their system can understand this, I hope.

I would like to test a 5020 with 325 and 3/8. Then I will be able to show future buyers local a set up in 325 7 and 3/8 7 to test with. Because they will probably want 20" bars being how people are.

I had 2 330 set up one time with 325 7 20" and another with 3/8 7 20". The firewood cutter wanted set up with 325 7 because of the extra torque 325 7 rim gave and forgiveness in the cuts when pushing.

Another wanting limbing saw and light weight bucking homeowner saw. 30cc to 42cc range. I set about 6-7 saws up with 3/8LP and .325 so they could run each to see what they liked.

Hopefully this gets the WHY across. I want to be able to set a 5020 up in 325 and 3/8.

MARK! . . .

Cut4fun is out in the shop and he wants to know - did you want him to run the 5020 with .325 X 7 or 8? He doesn't have his lap top with him and he wanted me to ask you? He was talking to me on the speaker phone.

He says he's gonna run the 7 pin rim first if he doesn't hear from you?

whats the diameter of the crank?

I havent gotten that far into checking yet.  New cranks are $25

10mm clutch side.

BB I think a poulan 3000 etc clutch drum would work IF we could find a bearing with 10mm I.D. and fit the O.D. 3000 etc clutch drum. 

Now go and show us how to convert a 5020 to .325 pitch. I dare ya. LOL

Well I have had enough fun with this challenge. LOL

Sometimes you need to think out of the box and why a team concept trouble shooting works. Just because 1 single person cant find something dont mean its not out there. Throw a few brains together and ask for help and you could be amazed what a team can come up with.
