sounds like a EURO 661 will fill the bill, but to get my hands on one, well that's a different story.

Yup, sure is BelRay air filter oil .................. expensive stuff !
The toughest part about the 661 bog is that its not consistent. If I knew it was gonna bog before each limb then I would pre plan my footing and rhythm. But when an occasional bog is thrown in it ......... up everything
So here is a question, with my 661 being in the shop so long my warranty is now past 3 months. So does that mean as soon as I get my saw back its out of warranty???

I sure wish I could set back time after losing it in the hospital LOL

Here is an idea. running the 362cm and the 241 cm both of them you could tell when the saw was resetting its self, like after a large temperature change and or elevation change. My 661 never ever did this even after doing a reset, it always ran the same from the moment it came out of the box. Is is a bad module causing adaptive learning issues?

Maybe reach out to some of our European friends, have them buy just the carb, and side panel w/ holes (or drill yours out) (whatever else is needed). Ship you the standard parts to deconvert YOUR current saw to the screwdriver version.
Of course this voids the warranty...

Well so far the warranty has not done me any good, except frustrations up the ying yang

i think your being to easy on your dealer. i'll tell ya right now. it's sounding like you have been without you saw for 3 months if you warranty is 3 months past. that **** absolutely would not fly with me. i'd have a new saw or my money back dealers building burnt down or not LOL.
well the first month I hardly used the saw, like 2 gallons or so, then the weather got nice and I started sawing more
Stihl rep said he is installing a new updated ignition module that has new software. Also he is replacing the carb for good measure

Funky sawman - do you know when your 661 was built? Just curious if I need to worry about this new software update.
Did I just say that? Software update for my fckin chainsaw!?!??!?! gawd.

it would only bog if you blipped the trigger quickily at a lower rpm
Just picked up a good running 288xp and a 2100cd. Back to old school saws for me
