Ya milling is ruff on saws ... give it a few breaks now and then.

OEM 66mm kits are still available for around $325 shipped to your door on eBay. Likely more than the entire saw cost ya though.

I got an oem 66mm for my own build.

I’ve been told by reliable sources that nearly every part of that China copy exceeds original OEM quality exc possibly the cylinder and piston pin bearing.

Even cheap Chinese technology 50 years later is still better than the best back then.

Make sure the airflter seals good, I've the same saw in cream sickle colors and it sucks in a lot of not so fine material.

That statement surely comes from the knockoff salesman.
