Are there any problems when replacing a chainsaw bar say from 16
inches to 20 inches? I have a PoulanPro 3800 series and would like to
add a larger bar (occasionally) to cut larger logs. Poulan says that
the saw was not designed for a 20 inch bar (of course they do), am I
doing anything inherently risky by upsizing?

Thanks

Worst thing that could happen is you burn out the motor.

Engine size is 38cc, I have no idea what the horsepower rating is.
