Questions people ask
What size chain does a Stihl MSA 160 C-B take?
The Stihl MSA 160 C-B takes 1/4" pitch, .043" gauge chain. Drive links by bar length: 10" bar 56, 12" bar 64, 14" bar 72.
How many drive links is a Stihl MSA 160 C-B chain?
It depends on the bar: 56 on a 10" bar, 64 on a 12" bar, 72 on a 14" bar. The bar length is usually printed near the mount.
Can I use a chain with the same length but different pitch?
No. Pitch and gauge have to match the bar and sprocket, and the drive link count has to match the bar. A chain that is off on any of the three will not fit or run safely.
