Nice. I run the same saw, muffler mod, 16 inch narrow 43 ga bar no porting, no advance, 2 seasons on it. I use an Oregon R55 43 ga chain which has tiny teeth. Little beast. Cheap and light for my skinny arms. Thanks for the review.
Just wondering can I use a 10”. Or 12”. Bar and chain for this saw I just picked one of this chainsaw also what type of fuel ⛽️ do you recommend? The expensive one from the gasoline station just fill up a small 2 gallon tank or the stihl brand gas mix. Don’t know much about chainsaws . I will be mostly using it home use
It mainly depends on the gauge of chain you would like to run. Take a look at your owner’s manual, page 37. You can run a 10 and 12” bar with the 0.043” gauge, but only down to 12” with the 0.050” gauge and a 9 tooth sprocket. With the stock 7 tooth sprocket, you can run 10/12/14/16 inch bars. Just make sure you’re getting the appropriate chain (drive links) if you’re going to swap bars. And if you have an 8 tooth sprocket, you’re running 1/4” pitch and the appropriate bar lengths and chain dimensions are listed on page 37 as well. I use the motomix because i don’t run the saw every day and doing a 2 gallon mix myself would expire before i could use all of it. So i stick with the expensive ass motomix because it’s good for 2 years after opening and i don’t have to worry about unused 2 cycle gas. If you mix yourself, non-ethanol is ideal, at least 89 octane (or higher). Hit up youtube for some videos on proper storage of your saw while you’re at it. Hope this helps, let me know if i can help any further.
I just bought this saw, does it come with a 'safety chain'? Can you upgrade to a full pro chain? I actually have a Husky 460 that I use for big logs like that, I'd never use this small saw for a big log like that. The 460 will cut through that log in about 1/4 the time but it sucks at limbs because its so heavy.
i bought one, and assumed they'd give me a proper chain, but if you don't specify, they'll default to hot garbage with the chain.. womp womp, beater chains
that saw hasn't had enough fuel ran thru it and not enough cutting done for it to be broke all the way in yet. remove the spark arrestor, and muffler cover. re-tune the saw to run at higher RPMs, once u get that idle dialed in proper and u always have a sharp chain that thing out cuts a 193t all day

Sthil recommend 91 octane with Synthetic oil 2 cycle Sthil
No complaints with mine
Personally I couldn't hear you in this vid.

Yes you can. Oregon makes a nice chain for it. I used this log in order to strain the saw for demonstration
purposes. Cheers
@@thescenicroute4712 in the states it illegal to sell a chainsaw without a safety chain
Shele 180 best of best
