    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    Well the G666 has ZERO anti vibration like the ms660. The handle is directly connected to the case. Not the same case as the MS660, though they say parts will fit.

    Oil Fuel ratio - OEM vs Farmertec Kit

    The short story from my point of view is that the ratio comes AFTER the choice of oil. The modern oils are highly expensive, highly engineered products that simply out perform older oil formulas. From what I have been checking out it may be erroneous to call them oils anymore. They are polymeric...

    Oil Fuel ratio - OEM vs Farmertec Kit

    I am coming down on the side of 25:1 being the lowest common denominator given the at least 4 types of oil I know about. I saw an ad for a new amsoil 2 cycle oil stating up to 100:1 was ok.

    2017 tomatoes failed

    I have an old plot in Alabama and I use this thyme oil product. I tilled it in heavy 4 times across winter before the spring planting. I also sprayed the product during the season, at least every 2-3 weeks. I had 32 tomato plants because usually the organic methods I try keep me behind the...

    Oil Fuel ratio - OEM vs Farmertec Kit

    Yes. I bought the g666 in the devilish blue but have yet to run a full tank of fuel. Detonation imminent, but if it survives 4 or 5 tanks I will lean it up unless I see reason not to, running highly specialized stihl oil vs 30w makes a difference perhaps. I have not even measured the operation...

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    My compliments on your obvious engineering skills. I am the guy that misses something and turns motor internals into glitter. I always use a spark arrestor for that risk.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    You better build it. It does not seem like a 29 percent increase but divide the smaller number into the larger and then think about some asian guy trying to get away with the minimum strength of lower end necessary to handle the 070.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    Oil flow would be my main concern. I remember a variety of high test auto motors that once the oil flow ports were cleaned up made fine racing engines, but for an untouched daily driver were a fail.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    I doubt they are blueprinted. But really the percentage increases re working loads re performance are lost on me at a point where the machine life suffers, given that durability is still suspect on that lineup. Ya fun but I have enough to do without another teardown.

    I see you list some hutzl saws on your sig line. Did you kit build them? How are they doing?

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    Guess what is on sale? At least temporarily. I think they run specials from time to time. I paid 289.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    Oooo..I used a pile of pine to softly get it hot but not hammer on it. Sort of a curing in run because I have no expectations of quality and dont really know what else to do with it except run it up gently. I do appreciate the weight when the "BAR" is fully sunk into wood. It has a nice tone...

    I thought homeowners were exempt from that! No duties just a delay on the tracking chart.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    Full of fuel, oil, and the holzfforma 28" blade. Not a light machine.

    Holzfforma G666 & G372?

    I bought the g666. I was thinking screw it because I always have to rebuild my stihl so its a question of when not if it gets taken apart, and has a 1 year warranty. Oem stihl parts are available for an upgrade path which is cool. I fired it up but have not even run a tank yet. I bought a couple...

    Huztl MS660 new build will not start

    New here, but I have seen some pressure and vacuum testing videos on youtube where the g660 tank venting was problematic until replaced with oem.

    MS 261 hard nose bar question

    Yep heat is one of those things that stretch metal. I did not think about that silt issue as I was considering my usage which is wood, but I bet that was a bearing eating situation. I know the bearings are well made, but open for greasing and oil, and so to harder than steel minerals like silt...

    Stihl says " Look Before You Pump Gasoline for Outdoor Power Equipment"

    I actually looked up the individual parts in the carb rebuild kit for my stihl. The maker said the synthetic parts were not sensitive to ethanol. That made some sense given what I was seeing when I disassemble the carbs on my 2 cycles. That in turn made me aware of the crappy paper gaskets they...

    MS 261 hard nose bar question

    I still would not run a hard tip on that small of a saw. It loses some longevity when you work them hard. Bearings are more efficient than a slide when you are plunging with the small saws anyways. They engineer up torque numbers and such when they design these saws, but we never talk that way...
