Good point, we know stihl rod bearing last decades and the stihl clips seem to be higher tension, not as flimsy as China clips. Blue Thunder 660 is a bit of a disappointment, we're lucky it even still runs.

Absolutely amazed that the saw was not blown up or damaged. This saw had a sliced oil line and the pump was sucking air in, so oiler problems from day one. Old set of cases saves the day with an old oem stihl oil line. Got that fixed and cut a few cookies, all seems fine, then when going out...

On the 3rd tank of gas om the 660 blue thunder, we drive up the hill to cut wood and discover pull start feels froze up. Strip off the top end to find the wrist pin hanging into a port! No wrist pin clip any where in the saw. they never installed one. Now here's where things get strange, no...

We jury rigged a china stihl chain guard onto it for now. but it would be really nice if someone could point us in the direction of a real one.

A working chainbrake would be nice, but this was at one time a demo saw and has no clutch cover at all, so anything would be great! Thanks!

I looked at the pics several times yesterday and read this thread a couple times. I just don't see how someone could do that kind of damage cutting wood. I wonder if the saw was left idling with the chainbrake on for a very long time, say 45 minutes if that would cause this destructive over...

Here you go!

Wow an 088, now I'd crack open my piggy bank to get one of those!

Huztl had a new add today, they're welcoming New members to the Blue Thunder family of saws: G111 G255 G366 G388 G444 coming in November! G388 sounds like we might be seeing a bigger husky clone, G444 a blue 044? The G660 first came out as a G666, and was changed later, owners manual has a...

I enjoyed your video and I really like my new blue G660!

I agree with you, but will add that I remember when Made in Japan meant it was junk, if nails bent easy they were called "jap nails", sunbeam cars, or even the first Honda Cars were pretty much considered junk. Now days Japan's products are considered high quality. That said, China has a ways...

Yes we do have cell service here and in most the islands towns, and land lines to, internet is Hughes net satellite, and APT for electricity. Alaska has no price gouging laws, so our prices in remote areas can really hurt the wallet! That said itt can be a real pita and quite spendy to get...

You might find that funny, but I live on the third largest island in the US, you can only get here by air, or boat, it's a 3+hour ferry ride each way, and it's not cheap. Ketchikan our nearest city is more of a tourist town so prices there are also spendy. But we have lots of trees and great...

Interesting thoughts on whether these saws can be used for logging. If I was falling and bucking for helicopter logging, long ways from the truck I would want new name brand OEM or even working under a tower. But so many jobs these days are small jobs clearing land for home owners and such...

We had to get one of these big Blue saws to try out, I mean they come with full wrap handle bar and it has free shipping! Looks good and started right up, no problems, good power and a nice dark blue color, what's not to like? I would have liked to break it down to check the cylinder for squish...

Out of the kits we've done, I've found only one cylinder that did not need a little clean up, a ms250 kit. One of the other kits had a bad port with some really sharp rough edges, it took quite a lot of sanding with 400 grit to round edges, to get a wee bit of bevel and smooth off some bumps...

The saws listed were all kit built, so far they seem to be great at cutting, very impressed with the Huztl ms660 and the 372 clones. The 070 / 090 was missing an important washer for the governor, a 20 cent part at the local hardware. Fixed that, now I want the 090 six shoe clutch, always...

Oops my bad, you're correct, the 090 is a 137cc saw. :(

Use the 1/4 in a full chisel, get it razor sharp, you'll like it! EDIT: Just get the 3/8 .050 lp in a full chisel and you should be good. And... ...Pick up a ms180 with the quick adjust chain tensioner. buy a dime tip for it too. There are some tricks to sharpening for detail chain to cut...
