You're welcome. Did you use the Farmertec worm gear on your oil pump?

I found my HV pump on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-Pump-Gear-for-Stihl-066-MS660-Replaces-1122-640-3201-/113677266560?hash=item1a77b16e80&redirect=mobile If the link works that's the same place and same pump I got. The big trees I've got so far was blown down and give to me if I clean...

I'm going to try Amsoil next time I buy oil. I have read a lot good things by users. My saw slobbers oil out the muffler over 40:1. The extra oil is because the saw is having to run so hard for so long milling. Set up takes a little while but love milling with my saw. A big bandsaw mill would be...

I replaced all of it. I also ordered a cover from direct from Hyway but I haven't had any problems with the pull start since I rebuilt it. I keep the cover with me when I go out to mill just in case I break it again. I figured it was worth it just to prevent down time. I took my time turning the...

I never mounted the FT cylinder. I got a deal on 2 Hyway kits, one std bore w/pop-up and a big bore flattop. $80 for both so I jumped on them. I don't know what the psi is but I have to use the decompression to start it. I've got arthritis in my hands so I put a D-ring handle on it when I rebut...

0.026 on squish lol

My big bore is the flattop. I wasn't sure if the crankshaft rod bearing would hold up to the compression of big bore pop-up. I could only get my squish down to 0.26 but it still has strong compression. I have thought about the pop-up but it's milled through hickory, oak, and ash with no problem...

I built my 660 for milling so I went with a Hyway big bore kit and Walbro WJ-76. I broke the pull start first start attempt so went with Hyway parts there too. Other than the broken plastic pill start and having to smooth out the fuel line elbow mine has been great. My longest bar is a 62"...

Could be a quality issue. Mine has been setting for a couple weeks with gas in it and still no leak. Don't know if the sealant will hold up to the gas. You may have to change out your elbow.

I had the same problem with gas leaking from around the elbow. I've seen others talk about this problem and recommended getting and oem elbow, but it's around $12 I think. I took mine out and saw it had flashing on the sides. I used a hobby knife and sandpaper to smooth it out and haven't...

Anyone ever find car parts grown inside a tree? Found the rotor button from a car distributor in the middle of a tree I was milling.

I got a Hyway brand and seems to be real good quality. $6.95 direct from Hyway but shipping takes a couple weeks. Or you can get from HL Supply in just a few days, but cost about $14. Not sure on shipping costs because I ordered some pill starter parts with it.

I highly recommend you upgrade the pull starter. I learned that the hard way. The Chinese decomp valve is junk also. I also went with a Walbro carb and my saw startedstarted, ran and idled good with just the Stihl setup settings. (Well, after I fixed the shattered starter LOL). I also went with...

I'm new to kit saws and I don't agree with his abrasiveness, but his videos did help out building my MS660. He also gave a link for a site that has very good prices on carbs. I must thank him for that.

I finished building my first kit saw last weekend (MS660). I messed up and didn't order upgrade parts for the pill start and the pulley broke on the 3rd pull. No dealer had around me had the pulley in stock so I had to order it. Had to have hand surgery Wednesday so now all I can do is look at...

I think you're right. And the other one is .005, I think. I'm rather new to chainsaws so I'm a greenhorn lol.

Have you considered the OEM Stihl .10 gasket? If I wrote that size right. I know they make a thick and a thin gasket.

Is your saw Stihl or a Chinese copy?

I already ordered a Hyway kit.
