Compatibility
Engineered to fit stihl MSA 220 C-B saws and other models sharing the same bar-mount pattern. Always double-check your saw’s model number against the full compatibility list before ordering, since mount studs and oiler holes can vary between production years.
Installation notes
Remove the clutch cover and take off the spent bar and chain. Wipe down the bar pad and blow out the oiler port. Position the new bar, thread the chain onto the sprocket and around the bar groove making sure the cutters face forward on top. Use the tension screw to take up slack until the tie straps just lift off the bar rail, then secure the cover firmly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 14-inch bar and chain combo fit my Stihl MSA 220 C-B without any modifications?
Yes, this combo is matched for the Stihl MSA 220 C-B and is designed to fit that saw in the 14-inch setup. As long as your saw is using the standard 3/8 pitch configuration for this model, the bar mount and chain should install normally without modification.
Q: Is the chain on this 14-inch combo the correct 3/8 pitch for the Stihl MSA 220 C-B, and can I use it for general firewood cutting?
Yes, this combo uses a 3/8 pitch chain, which is the correct pitch listed for the Stihl MSA 220 C-B with this 14-inch bar. It’s a good general-purpose setup for limbing, storm cleanup, and cutting firewood, as long as you keep the chain properly tensioned and sharpened.
Q: When installing this 14-inch guide bar and chain on my MSA 220 C-B, how tight should I set the chain and what maintenance should I do after the first few cuts?
Set the chain so it sits snug against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with a gloved hand. After the first few cuts, recheck chain tension since new chains can stretch slightly, and make sure the bar groove and oiling holes stay clean so the bar and chain get proper lubrication.
