The MS250 will happily ron 3/8lp chain but yes, you need to change the sprocket. Eventually repaair parts do dry up for discontinued product but the 250 is so popular you should not have to worry about it for a long time. The 011 was dropped because it did not meet emission standards.
The MS211 is equipped with 61PM chain, 3/8 lo pro. The MS250 comes with .325 unless otherwise specified so the sprocket definitely needs to be changed.
Happy saw guy. You can either take some unknown person(male or female) response and possibly ruin both a sprocket and chain or you can take the info from professionals like sawguy and at least lay the two saw chains side by side, if one is .325 and the other is 3/8 the difference is noticeable.
@CUT N RUN , if you can give the driver count # of what your current chain is, then you CAN come up with the number of drivers on whatever (ANY size) chain you want. The saw might not pull it effectively, built can be done. For a ridiculous example, (to express my point) .325 to .404, with minor extrapolation 84 link of .325 is 4.54’. 67 link of .404 is 4.53’.
