 If he Kevin did not change the fuel in the new 550 that he got from me then it is running stihl ultra at 44:1

Thats one of the first things I do when I get a saw in.  dump mix and use  32:1 with klotz original 100% synthetic KL-200

He doesn't have any piston/ring trouble either

pouring oil out of quarts, the 4oz is so much easier for me to measure over the 40:1.  ;)  I just put 20oz to 5gal and 8oz to 2gal and go.  ;D

Anyone try a 20" on the 550 in 325 or 3/8?  I'm thinking of throwing a 20" and 3/8 in 33TS = 76LG

I got 18" on mine in .325, but a 20" may be nice.
Yes a Stihl 33 Topic Super 3/8" chisel chain would be an excellent choice for the 550XP, beautiful smooth quick cutting chain, I still have the Oregon 76 LG chains you sent me, still in their boxes.
Are you finding alot of the Stihl TS chain?
