There easy, just pay good attention to the way the diaframs and gaskets are orentated when you take it apart.

You can say that again!
The 066 is my favorite stihl saw. You can do anything with them and they are pretty light and nimble for their size.

I agree with you River Rat. I have ran em since they first came out. Alway's wanted one, and never had the money. Got a good use'd one about four-5 year's ago. I love em

Easy as pie!!!
1. The metering diaphram side, the gasket goes against the carb body and the metering diaphram on top, against the top cover,
The fuel pump inlet side, is just the opposite, the fuel pump diaphram goes against the carb body, and the gasket on top of the fuel pump diaphram, against the bottom cover,,,,

Thank's guy's. Got monday off, and my saw shop is gonna do it with me, and walk me thru it. Even if they do it I will be there watching, and learning something.

My saw shop droppe'd what they were doing to help me out. They installe' a carb kit. After fuel filter, and line's, and carb kit no fix. Had to leave it, an Aaron thought impulse line, and Darren at the shop think's that maybe it. Had to leave it oh well, they will find it, and fix it.

066 carb question
Hi there, long time listener first time caller... I hope I'm posting this in the righ spot. I'm working on an 066 project I just traded for and I might have got in a little over my head. Nevertheless, I'm learning quite a bit and am having some fun tearing it apart.
The saw started and ran but wouldn't run at full throttle. I took the carb apart to clean it and put in the rebuild kit and am pretty sure I've ruined it (I put a hole in the cup plug trying to pop it off before I realized it was already off, which was probably part of my problem in the first place). Now there is a hole that isn't supposed to be there.
The carb is Walbro WJ-48, my question is whether or not that is compatible with a newer carb since I don't think they make those, it didn't look like I could find a new WJ-48. Does anyone know where I might find a new or good condition WJ-48 or a compatible newer carb? Thanks!

Welcome to the site! That's a bummer man. Guy's on this site may have one for barter or sale. I know they are on Ebay. Wouldn't hurt to check Bailey's, seem's to me awhile back they were selling carb's. Other guy's will be along to help. Good luck Norm.........

There are a couple WJ-48s on ebay but I thought I'd check with the experts to see if I could use another model or not before I buy a possible junk ebay carb. I called Baileys to talk to a tech but no one was available, I'll give them another try tomorrow, thanks for the input.

660 is truel's in it's own clas, best of the best top shelf, and then some. I almost thought of selling my 372,and 044 to get another 660, even though I have one, but I don't part with saw's, and love, and use the other two alot.
