Chainsaw Repair

Today we got together to test some 325 chain with 7T  and some 3/8 chain with 7T same saws. I forgot to test 8T 325 on some saws and for got to try 325 on some ported saws. But I think what I seen with 325 3/8 comparison would have been the same. Same  chain was run and was new out of box chain.

Here is some of the saws ran in 12" hardwood today. Thinking wood was cherry or hard maple.

stock husky 346xp 50cc,  325 7T  10.0 10.4,   3/8 7T  5.63  5.62

stock dolmar 5105 with 5100 muffler,   3/8 7T  5.59  5.50

ported 346 45cc #2 346 carb, 3/8 7T  4.75  5.22

stock partner 5000 , 3/8 7T 5.47 5.84

ported redmax 5000, 3/8 7T  3.68  3.97

ported 346 45cc #1 357 carb,   3/8 7T  3.66  3.78

ported 026 with stock 026  carb with H L, 325 7T 6.97 (7.94 hit knot), 325 8T 8.65 8.61,  3/8 7T 7.63  7.69

stock 357xp, 3/8 7T  4.29  4.34

I just love 3/8 on the saws when they have the guts to pull it. 

Say that 034/036 originally had .325 on it when it was still a stock 034 .After the rework it got 3/8" and the speed increase was really dramatic .The .325 stuff ended up on an 028 which is in my shed .

Thanks Kev. I'll look forward to matching my PP346xp up against bigger saws with 20 or 24" bars on June 2nd

the 5000 red max is not doing to bad , does it still have the little carb on it

the 5000 is a good running saw but I know the 346 is better , at least it was at my house
