It's here!!!!............Inside the MS661

Anyone know it we can get a heated wrap handle in the US????

Kind of disappointed in the oil pump being one for both models.

Sent from my non internal combustion device.

If the pump is adequate i think its a good thing..then guys that dont like wraps but need the oil output for stumpimg and long bars dont have to do any swapping.

 

[No Regerts]

When is it available in Alabama?

 

[Mastermind]

No popups.

 

[whitedogone]

What 'bout a one ring popup....that should work

 

[SAWMIKAZE]

I woke up with a pop-up this morning...i had to piss bad.

 

[redoakneck]

Cool!!!!

It's hard for me to get past the scab that passes for an air cleaner cover on the Husky's.

Nikko will be right along to tell us how much better handling and far superior in all respects those huskies are.

I don't know anything about that in this case!

Hi Nikko. This has to be a first !

 

[SawTroll]

Hi Nikko. This has to be a first !

Not really - even though it may look that way to some....


One thing I wonder about is where the air intake is on this saw, as I see no sign of it coming from the fan housing?

 

[porsche965]

I'm not home to double check but I believe it is at the bottom of the air box. There are louvers there.

Anybody know why Stihl decides to stop the handlebar grip about an inch or more before they should on the side. This pic shows it clearly. I know it's not a huge deal but I find it annoying when half your hand is on bare bar and half is on the grip when you have it on it's side. bean counters i suppose.

I just put it back together. I did not have the carb off, so the lines were still full of fuel. It started and idled on the first pull. Macro photography is not kind. They make things look MUCH worse than they are to the naked eye. Both the piston and cylinder look perfect in person. As mentioned above, it is cross hatching that is "wearing in". Both the P&C are perfectly smooth and defect free. I'll keep an eye on it though. It's back together bone stock for it's maiden voyage

Brad, did you get a chance to put a tach on it at WOT?

Brad, did you get a chance to put a tach on it at WOT?

Being MTronic, it's going to be rev limited.

 

[big t double]

I think You also have to have a tach that can properly read systems with dual magnet flywheels
