       Gudgeon Spacing

       This is a curiosity, not anything important.  Was cycling
       through the saws yesterday.  I have a Husky 365 and a Dolmar
       PS7900.  They take the same 72-drive link bar and chain.  I took
       the chain off of the Husky, sharpened it, then swapped the bar
       to the Dolmar.  It's an old chain near the end of life.  It
       wouldn't tension in the Dolmar.  That made me curious so I put
       the calipers on it.  The space from the Gudgeon to the Rim
       Socket (identical rim socket on each) was 1.55" on the Husky.
       But, on the Dolmar it was 1.35".  Enough disparity that it made
       the critical difference on this old chain.
       I had never picked up on that before.  Stihl is a different
       mount altogether.  But, these mounts are ostensibly the same as
       each other.  There is a difference between these two units,
       however.
       Just a kind of weird factoid.
