and the 362is back at the shop. I checked the spark plug and it was BLACK
Holy ****. Are you kidding? Is that saw M-Tronic too? It may be that you're not breaking the saw in and allowing the carburetor to calibrate itself properly. Limbing is not a good way to calibrate it.
You are not having good luck there Funky, I hope they can resolve your issues.
Does any one on here know about an upcoming logging show in Washington??? The stihl rep is taking my saw there, I would really like to go and try another 661 to see if its just mine acting up or what
Well the 241cm was perfect out of the box. Yes I do know how to recalibrate the saw, tried that many times
I sure wish that I had something to record these saws so others can see and hear on video what I mean. Then you could see me throw a brush fit also LOL
I think Deming is co.ing up next it's up by Bellingham

i don't know what the heck it is about this thread. i sense i'm hearing the truth but not the whole truth for some reason. also, how do you go without your main saw for so long. here, if a professional is needed and don't have a good running saw he is getting a good running saw somehow. simple as that. i sense you are not really a professional but then again, i may just be being an angry judgmental prick LOL i don't know about anyone else but every pro running stihl i know owns 2-3 661's at this point. no professional depends on just one saw.
I am my own boss, and without my saw, im without work, that's why im too broke to buy another backup saw
And when I got injured felling timber back in oct of 2013 I had to sell all my saws to stay alive, but I really shouldn't have to waist my time telling you that

States must be different then here. Here you have 2 at least or you ain't looked at seriously enough for an employer to consider you. A dead saw means waiting on the hill all day while your partner finishes up which is why every faller has a spare at the heli pad. There are actual guys where your from that go up the hill with one saw?
I'm glad U said it!!!

Yes ,many actually ,but guys some have 2 ,we are not as uptight as the guys in your area ,do not need all that bc type training to get a job either . Maybe with huskies it would be smart to have a backup ,the guys down here run stihls though
