C33 325 on 346 501 even in threads.

Must suk to not now how to research simple chain numbers yo yo.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

I have that same thing on a zippo lighter. Now about that homelite bar cover.

1 of many, if I had extras I would part with one.

I sold all my old dolmar covers to a collector and just kept one for wall.

Few of them

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Poor little yo yo

 

[Mad Professor]

Some of us know what a real used bar is. Good lord that guy is killing me ROFLMAO at him. I love it.
Like playing with a yo yo cant wait for the next stupidity out of his mouth.

Dude wants spoon fed info. Look up the chain for goodness sake I gave all the info in post.

Like my sign says over bench. CFS

Think the Homie, JD, Jred, Pioneer, Poulan, Partner might be only ones of those. Had more of those then I thought.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

@farmer steve found 2 more.

What's wrong with the 063 325? Not arguing, just asking, I'm using it on my 036 with 18" bar.

Someone mentioned earlier that an 036 works great with 3/8 pitch RS and I agree. I use it on my 036 and 362C.


Here's some interesting images I've borowed off of the internet:

I didn't realize the RS and RS Pro had different cutter dimensions, thanks.

I'm not sure that they are of different dimensions.

The drive tang being .050 Vs. .063 accounts for .33 mm thinner. If the side plates and tooth base is also reduced the same it would account for the different in specs in the first diagram I posted. The math works out real close.

I'd like to know more about the other dimensions but they must be. Looking at the drawing it looks like two verticle lines show the overlap of the top plates. That overlap looks to be the same so that would mean the top plate is a little narrower on the RS Pro. If the drawing can be trusted.

For that 33cc saw in post 1 try the 0.043" gauge Stihl 3/8 picco 61 class. at least for staying with what the title asks.

I have some of the 3690 from when they offered it in brand x drive link loops. Stihl has since made their bars for this product with their chosen drive link counts. I don't have handy any of the earlier RS in .325 but I think the side taper is more. The other chain is Upstart H .325 by 0.050" with necked down drive links. The part numbers for the splicing components should be visible. I often put a black dog in my pictures but only a short hair made it in this one of the drive links.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Also if you go in and ask for 23RS that is what the 23RS pro was years back. Just look at cutter to tell difference.

23RS so called pro years back was sold as 23RS here last few years.

I used a to run the old stepped down one too.

We had a thread on all this 23RS C33 63PS etc etc etc over the years elsewhere.

Here is some pics from thread others shared.


Old stepped drive link and new 23RS true 050 whole drive link and C33 stepped still from 058 to 050.

May I ask
The pro is faster?

 

[Brushwacker]

What's wrong with the 063 325? Not arguing, just asking, I'm using it on my 036 with 18" bar.

I don't feel a huge difference running 3/8 7 teeth sprocket vs .325 8 teeth on that range of saws. .325 7 teeth I noticed went through fuel noticably faster which I didn't care for and sharpening 36 cutters goes notably quicker then 40 cutting chain maintenance time and a sharp chain is very important to me , my back, and time. .325 Stihl chain is very expensive, 3/8 is less. .325 is a little smoother , but I am not that sensitive that it matters much, so I prefer 3/8 on most saws above 50cc. If I come across a great deal on .325 I will use it.

 

[filletboy]

No on 3/8 and no on 33RS. No clue where you pulled that from.

Left pic is 23RS 325, C33 is husky new 325 chain. C33 middle pic new left compared to 23RS used right.

Been out for a bit now.


C33 325 new out of box and reel. Surprising they even do rakers in factory.

I have a little ms 290 and want to set it up with 18 inch bar, chain, sprocket.
Can you suggest a good chain for me? Sprocket is 325 now but might go new IF changing to 3/8
Thanks

I wouldnt put 3/8 on 290 they are 56cc turds IMHO. Long lasting plastic saws, but not for the weight or power.

Well hate to tell ya I run out of my German made Bosch I ran.

So get ready for Brazil China Mexico Taiwan Russia Japan etc etc etc.

To many failures even with ngk now days even japan made ones.

I switched to Japan Denso myself.

Dear RedneckChainsawRepair , I am not sure I have that straight, I may ask you what to use. I did small engine repairs @ the schools. , where I worked . We always changed plugs from one year to the next. I have lots and lots of
"ignee boom boom plugs" I am still using till no fire , then practice with my 22 set up on a fence post.
I always liked NGK 's and that other one I cant remember. I never did care for ac plugs or champions I drove a dodge or Chevrolet and run auto lite plugs they are that good or was then , 70',80's, 90's
Thanks for info. I learn a lot on here , when I can't sleep
Thanks R.C.R. , your appreciated
Buck
