    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    Meteor topend kit and 660 carb and coil= $350. Worth a shot.

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    I brought the saw home and took the cylinder off. The top end is wiped but the crank seems fine. Will stihl just give me the updated coil and whatever else or diagnose it or something ? The first dealer- I know more about saws than them

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    Yea I think I just started my business at a bad time to buy saws. Maybe the Obama EPA forced their hand to do some things they weren't ready for. The 201t wouldn't idle til I yanked out the spark arrestor and pried the louvre open. 362 is okay but I did not know about the summer/winter flippy...

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    I took the saw back to the shop under the direction of a stihl rep. He said have them look at it and call him. The rings fell out of the muffler when pulled. No carbon on plug or in muffler just gray-white and bone dry. They said probably bottom end shot too because piston looked like it was...

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    My worry is because its kind of old history now they won't honor it. Either way it's probably not going to happen overnight so Ill most likely end up buying a 441 on Monday. I sure hope the bottom end isnt damaged. I'm not taking it apart til I hear from stihl. Thanks for your responses. Ill...

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    I bought it on 6-25-15. I looked and he serial number falls in the range posted here. I have the receipt. Serial number written on it. I took it to my local stihl dealer and they said they'd call the rep on Monday. He also said I should've gotten a notice. I looked at the cylinder and...

    The Stihl MS661 C-M recall

    I want to update this post. I've never posted before but am a longtime lurker. About a week ago my 661 did the thing it always does, gets hard to start and forced me to put it down in the middle of sawing wood on the job and go to a smaller saw. I pulled the spark plug and it looked suspect so I...
