I opened mine up a good bit and tapered from the inside out. May even lighten up the piston some. I used a oem wrist pin. It’s considerably lighter

Did you open up the windows on the piston any?

For noodling I wish it had the west Coast bar cover on it. Since it has a chrome cylinder I run 32:1 in it

It’s got a 25” on it. Noticed the chain was dry when the log rolled. The oil pump quit working. And a 36”

Looks good! It’ll probably get stronger once broken in. Mine seemed like it did. It ran good with a 25”

That’s good to know I hoped they fixed that. My last orange one ran fine even after about 10 gallons I ran through it. I gave it to a guy a couple months back and it’s still going. The prebuilt blue one I had finally failed when it snagged a ring.

Yours maybe ok if your careful with it. Their metal is soft. The ones with to much play were obvious from the beginning.

That’s the TSB-Huztl660-001 update lol. That was a long time ago. I thought they fixed that? Are they running old cast molds?

Stihl 009L and Fs44

Check this area on your cylinder. It’s was hitting on mine and was causing the base to leak. I just ground it so it would have clearance. If it’s just slightly flooded the plug will be wet. When it’s dripping out the muffler it’s severely flooded. It’s just hard to answer any...

The stiffness you feel is most likely the resistance of the seals. Did the piston slide right in easy once the rings made it in? Also tap the crank ends slightly with a soft hammer to relieve the pressure off the crank bearings.

Old vid of mine doing some noodling with a 25”

Same start procedure as your 361. Your high idle position may not be working which would cause it hard to start. If you don’t have a way to pressurize the inlet needle I would still suspect that. On mine I could see the fuel flowing in the carb when looking in at the brass check valve.

Yes clockwise til lightly seated. Their easily flooded. And have to be pulled hard to start. Some use the decomp valve but it fires faster without for me.

My carb wouldn’t hold inlet pressure even with a new needle installed. You can set your carb setting at 1 turn on both and fine tune from there if it’s a good carb. The transfers on the cylinder was hitting the saw when mine was bolted down. Just grind some clearance if they are...

I ordered it through work. It Wasn’t bad with discount but normally I think their around $60

I would say the choke works better. The butterfly has a tighter clearance in the bore. Yes my high idle works.

Today I had to replace the Hlhic carb on one of my 660’s. The inlet needle wouldn’t hold any pressure and would flood the engine. Tried a new needle and it still acted up. That carb is about a year old. So I put a walbro WJ-76 on it. It idles and runs way better with this carb anyway. Still...

I see a lot of millennial loggers run to the dealer to get their chain sharpened. You could tell them the chain’s shot and they wouldn’t know the difference.
