Hello again all.
So please excuse the lack of experience here.
I bought a used MS660 recently. I haven’t had too much luck so far buying used saws lol.
Anyway, after a bit of cutting I’ll say it’s the most awesome saw I personally have ever used. Starts easy and keeps running.
However, I’d noticed a bit too much flex and determined the several of the annular buffers were toast.
I did cut a lot with it before that happened, and yes let the saw do the work, kept it sharp and didn’t push the saw too hard.
So I’m taking the saw apart to get to them and took a few pics of the piston through the manifold side.
Anyway, the dent in the side of the piston is obvious. I’d noticed a strange sound just before I shut the saw down. Sort of like air passing, hard to describe…
Feels smooth although once I saw this dent I stopped turning the piston anyway.
I’m thinking this could be caused by a piece of a ring and that it obligates me to pull the cylinder, clean everything and examine carefully.
Is that about it?
Finally, I noticed the buffers come in soft, medium and hard… I’m almost afraid to ask any preferences on that?
Great site, thanks all in advance.
