These showed up on the truck, super happy to have these landed! The odd thing here in New Zealand is 'hardwood suppliers' don't really exist, there are woodworkers out there and hardwood stuff goes into high end fitouts of new build houses etc but in general most timber to be found is...

Hey guys, so am stepping up the sawmilling game, took delivery of a new bandsaw mill today. This is after chainsaw milling 75+ slabs and wanting to make the job a bit easier, and also that the slabs sell pretty easy so won't take too long to pay the bandsaw mill back. Especially when a...

So a bit of an update here in case I can help some other ms660 owner wondering whether to go 3/8s or .404... So I got gifted a redwood to mill and needed the 42" bar to get it done - which finally meant I got around to changing the nose sprocket to 3/8 and I bought some new Stihl 3653 36rmx...

Right, so reports of generally being underwhelmed sound about right then. Think I'm gonna try the Meteor kit...

So does it have a fatter, more torquey powerband like you'd expect? Most of the negatives I read is that they kinda feel dead and don't rev like a factory cc top end (and they are pigs on gas). If they give a bigger whack of torque in the high mid range where the saw spends most of its time when...

What big bore kit did you buy? Interested to know how it goes, I need a new cylinder kit for mine and given its 100% milling duty thought I'd go that way - but after reading this forum and others seems to be little love for the BB kits on the 660s...

What is 'the spacer'? For those running a winch, what ratio is about right? 1:1, 5:1?

Thanks to this thread, got the inspiration to build something similar today... Previously I'd just screw the rungs directly to a flat face of the tree, but having milled some blackwoods recently that were dowel-round, it took me forever to set up the first cut so decided to build this so...

Nah truck questions are cool, enjoy a good cruiser chat. The diesel is the 3.4L 3B - is a 4 cylinder also used in later model landcruisers, often in turboed form. It's very slow, but have been rumoured to turn over a million kms without a rebuild and mine needs no topups between 10k km oil...

It doesn't do it free revving, and can't recall when it only has the leading edge in the cut but I suspect not. So filing for less of a flat tooth might help? If so could give that a crack... It is a BJ45, which I believe you guys got but only in wellside form (and minus the diesel B motor of...

Bump, any thoughts? As an aside, sliced up a nice tazzy blackwood today...

Hey folks, been running a couple of different bar and chain setups for the slabs I've been cutting with the 660. 1x 32" sugi hara with 3/8" E&S skip chain (10deg) that runs and cuts like a dream, the other a 42" sugi hara with .404 Oregon skip (10deg) that has been workable but a chore to run by...

I started wailing on mine after the third tank. Probably a little early because it kept getting stronger for at least another couple of tanks.

I took a chance on one of these a few months ago and so far haven't regretted it. Bought especially for milling, used OEM decomp, wrist pin and piston bearing and hasn't skipped a beat in the >30L of fuel that I've put through it now. Measured pretty high compression (0.17 squish) with factory...

So an update - the saw runs! I made the carb screw adjustments and tried to start it again today no choke and it fired but sheared the woodruff key in the process. Went out at lunchtime to track down another key and yanked the starter and fired up on first pull (again no choke). Ran it a bit and...

It's possible I just failed to start due to flooding I suppose, was pulling the plug and turning over to clear etc and was just filling back up with gas without kicking though. Whats the starting protocol for these anyway? For my OE 361 I go full choke for 3-4 pulls til it fires then to no...

OK thanks, some stuff to try. Seems to be plenty of spark, and should've said all looked well inside when I pulled and reinstalled the cylinder. Re setting up the carb, screw H and L clockwise all the way and then back one turn?

Resurrecting this thread as hopefully theres some still subscribed that can help me out, am looking for advise on how to reset the Hutzl carb to factory settings... But first the back story So I bought a MS660 kit, showed up mostly intact and for the few bolts/nuts not included Hutzl sent me...
