Picco Confusion

[brendonv]

I have a Stihl HT 131. I want to run the same chain as my 200t's for ease of making chains.

Am I correct to assume no matter what width the bar is, "3/8" Picco" uses the same size sprocket because the drive links aren't going to change.

I held up the factory chain to a 200t chain, and the distance between drive link is the same. I also just mounted my 14" bar with the chain from a 200t and it seemed to work perfectly.

I plan on just getting a 12" B+C for it, but wanted to test to make sure everything worked fine.

Mine uses the same bar and chain as a 200T.

One difference to consider about mixing them is that some (perhaps all?) the Stihl pole saws run .043 gauge chain, whereas the 192s/200s run .050 gauge. As long as you don't mix bar/chain gauges you'll be fine. But yes, as long as pitch matches, the sprocket will work.

Ok, thought so.

Thanks.
