Yeah too
Big for the 150, I got the roll for basically nothing 4 years ago, so all i have been using it for is on my pole saws.

I'm runnin 63PS Picco chisel chain on my modded 150. It pulls it great. Now, I'm not advising that you switch yours over. There's something to be said for how smoothly and effortlessly the 150 runs with the stock 1/4" chain. Also, the Picco sprocket is not available in the US. Mine was sent from Australia.

how much smoother is the 1/4" chain for cutting small(1/2-2") branches? it easy to tell the difference when switching from 3/8lp to .325 to 3/8 but i've never ran something with 1/4" chain.

It's noticeable. The 1/4" chain feels like you're cutting butter.

I have one of those larger sprockets for my 150 also, haven't used it yet tho. Probably came from the same source as yours.

Where overseas did you get your sprocket? From a dealer? I'd like to do that to my rear 150

blsnelling · Jan 23, 2016

A friend in Australia sent it to me.

I don't even remember what it cost to be honest.

Flywheel sheared off today when my ground man tried to start my 150. Yesterday it was running bitchin so I assume I did not file off too much of the key, tried to take 1/3 off. And to add insult to injury, yesterday I tried to advance the timing on a 338 and busted the key off when I tightened the flywheel nut. That one I suspect I did not have it lined up perfectly but would welcome some input from the pro's

blsnelling · Feb 2, 2016

The key is only there for indexing purposes. The flywheel locks onto the taper of the crank. It must be oil free. Clean it up and tighten in back down.

monkeylove · Feb 2, 2016

Definitely make sure the tapers are clean and smooth. They should have a nice wring fit. Any left over specs or humps will cause it to never really seat properly.

Send em to Brad and get em done right....basic mods anyway. He is way backed up on porting.

Might not agree with this but years ago I had a mcycle ported and new cams and intake modded, etc., on a 900 cc. bike. Gained 22 hp's but it became a gas hog.
