My Makita EA4300 (Dolmar 421) came with Oregon 95VPX chain on its 18" original bar (too long for this saw).
I've finally got around to buying a K041 .325 16" bar which I thought would work ok, but my dealer put Stihl 23RS chain on it and the kerf is obviously too large, as it rubs slightly inside of the clutch cover top and bottom. Rubs enough that I won't fire it up like this.
Question - what's the difference between an Oregon 160PXBK041 bar and a 160GLGK041 bar?
And can they both run 95VPX chain or another Stihl narrow kerf equivalent or at least something that will fit under the EA4300 clutch cover without mods, or will I need a different bar/chain?
I've got the Oregon 160PXBK041 in my possession so would prefer if there is a narrower kerf chain than the Stihl 23RS that will fit and run well on this bar.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
