I' m hoping to find out if anyone has a supported opinion on whether to run the .325 chain or 3/8 on an 18" bar.
I have a year 2011 346XP and would like to be able to run similar equipment (bars and chains) on several of my saws. However ,I'm not sure if it would compromise performance if I changed it to 3/8. And would I be better to run a 7 or 8 sprocket.Which configuration would increase speed vs. torque. I'm guessing if I went to 3/8, then I'd be better to run an 8 sprocket to,(for lack of a better term)gear down,to compensate for the 3/8 chain vs. the .325 that it runs w/ the 7tooth sprocket. Any help is hugely appreciated!
Also wondering if I would benefit by installing the Non-EPA muffler?
Can anyone tell me the accurate specs of this saw? hp? weight? It seems there are some variations even within the 50cc model. Thx Again!! Johnny
