No Brian, it's for a GoPed. The displacement matched so I gave it a try. It woke it up somewhat.

I know this is an old post but I just caught it and that cracked me up. I love the pipe. I recently threw together a Super 2 Ive had in a box for years and ran the Bajesuus out of it. With a 14" bar I was surprised at how well it did. Ive PMed ChainsawLady to see if she has any 12" bars. Thats really all I need on it.

There are 10" bars around to fit that saw too, high speed, low drag! :{)

Check out that picture, this guy has a pile of these XL's under his bench!
And an 8" bar, that would be like running the saw without a chain, even in the wood! Hot saw with no other mods.

I will admit my stupidity, when I got the saw I grabbed what I thought was a 12" bar. I got a heck of a deal on 6 new Oregon 45DL chains only to find out they were for a 12" bar and not for the 10" bar I actually had. I will probably take a couple chains down and get some links taken out but I still want a 12" bar also. I figure when I get one of the others running I can have 2 short bar Mosquitoes.

That's kind of a odd link count. The small Homelite saws using 3/8 lo pro and Homelite bars should take' 8in bar-------37DL 10in bar-----42DL 12in bar-----48DL 14in bar-----53DL 16in bar-----59DL

Dolmar, Echo, Husky, Jonsered, Redmax, etc. But your numbers for the Homelites are spot on.

As for the 45dl I must have looked it up incorrectly in the Oregon book he had on the counter, crap! I have a 42 coming for the 10" bar so I will back up and punt on the 12". Thank you for the correct info!

They're showing a 48DL also. Bummer!

The 45DL is likely for the new stuff in Home Depot...all of the "throw-away saws seem to have standardized somewhat.
