Sorry to disappoint you guys. We were at mom's until about 1 AM. I started the Christmas thread when I got home. I ended up not going to bed until 4:45AM. I still have two customers saws to port before I get to this one. I'll be doing one this afternoon and one tomorrow. This evening we'll have a house full of company for Anna's 16th birthday. So, yes, I'm crazy busy. I'll get to it as soon as possible...promise!!!

 

[Mastermind]

Enjoy your family Brad.

The saws can wait.

 

[blsnelling]

Alright, alright. Here's a little teaser These are the very first cuts this saw has made. Of course, I had to hit something at the bottom of the third cut. Feels pretty good for a brand new saw with a 36" bar, full comp chain nearly buried.

I have no need for a 661 class saw, but the big breakthrough, at least in my mind ... it is the first M-Tronic saw that did not add weight or bulk, and the power did not remain the same, it increased.

Most Autotune saws are also heavier than the saws they replace.

......

No, most of them actually are lighter, despite the Autotune: 550xp, 545, 560xp, 562xp (barely), 555, 556, 2253, 2252, 2260, 2258.

Only the 576xpAT (that was the first one) is heavier.

Great! Now try not to think about anything else until you get back to this 661 lol.

I don't run stock saws

 

[pantelis]

There is no way that a saw can pull fuel all the way from the tank through dry filter, lines, and carb in three pulls. This has nothing to do with MTronic.

A saw just out of the box the flagship of stihl and marks on the cylinder? its normal ? what hapend with this marks when the flagship go for work ?

 

[pantelis]

Maybe if your tank vent is screwed. That don't explain the lean condition you are experiencing. All my 10-12 M-Tronic saws fired up flawlessly: six of them on one pull in July weather. Don't tell me there's no way. You got a saw there to be proud of, but you better look at them score marks boss.

one picture is a thousands words my friend, 661 mtronic the flagship of the stihl. smell you a new............. recall ? just say

 

[Derrick Sawyer]

None of them "wow" me anymore.....old or new....ported or stock.

Maybe this carbon concept would WOW? Think its a couple lbs lighter than 661C-M, same power but 85cc, fuel injection, titanium in muffler and bar nuts, and has the carbon bar.

ssssssssssssssssss INJECTION and carbon fuel tank weight like 261. the 661 its another piece of ****. many friends here in europe buy it and now hit theirs heads in the wall.

I think that is why the 372 and 461 still don't have modern electronic control.

I'm hopeful that the Tech advances in the 661 will work their way through the entire Stihl lineup.

does the alloy flywheel weigh the same as the poly, and why back to alloy?

 

[Full Chisel]

I smell some bullsh*t with this comparo, the 661 is stock and tuned awfully rich and the chain is likely dulled but man, this 390xp is a freakin' monster. If you can get gains like these with that Stihl you will have a wicked machine. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

[tlandrum]

that 390xp is a wicked work saw 390xp that I ported last year

 

[wyk]

Worth it for the music alone(But, seriously, who carries their scabbard into the field with them?):

Well done, sir...that is a proper job. What did that thing tach at on the edge? Sounds 16k+ easily.

 

[stankers]

Wow!! That 390 is filthy fast.
