FarmerTec Huztl MS660 Updated Build Kit - Build Thread

[MG porting]

I got the zip. Couldn't open it on my phone though. I'll have to check on a computer. I even sealed the cylinder gasket so I'm not sure where I might have been getting an air leak from to run that lean.

I think when I get the new case and crank I'm just going to use the 54mm cylinder. Try to avoid as many issues as possible from having to clearance the new case.

I should be able to reuse just about everything else on the saw right?

Yes you should but fyi i just put a 54mm on a case and the transfer port still was touching the case so I'm asking every one please check and make sure that you're cilinders don't have clearance issues its something that can be fixed before you get to far in to the build.

Is there a way to test the carb for not flowing enough? It didn't seem that dry when it broke cylinder bolts. So I am really curious as to where my air leak was coming from. I had the jets set at 1 turn out, per stihl spec.

I'll go down to the local stihl dealer and order a new gasket kit tomorrow. And order a new crank and case from huztl. Does anyone know if HL supply has shorter shipping times? Or anywhere else to get those parts without waiting 3 weeks for shipping?

I'll have to look at testing options for a leak down and pressure test. Not looking to break the bank but also not looking to build this saw a fourth time lol

I would like to know what is your altitude where you live??

686' according to google. Hixson, TN

I happen to live in East Ridge near Camp Jordan, and already have the stuff to pressure/vac test 660s, so you're welcome to come over if that appeals to you.

Ok you're pretty close to the same as here and you running there carb and you had the high speed set one full tern out. Not to be mean to you I just want you to learn from this and please don't take this in a bad way but if you were running there carb you were running it way to lean it can happen. My bet that saw was screemem . You can get a tack fairly cheap

That would be awesome! I'll send you a message when I get the new case together and hopefully we can get together to test it. Do you have the parts to block off the intake and exhaust ports?

Please, I'd like to learn as not to have a repeat performance. But I thought it was spec for the jets to be one full turn out? I didn't think it was screaming by ear.

Ok, sounds good. Yeah, I have a way to block off the intake and exhaust. Also some decomp plugs (although they seem to take a lot of torque to stop leaking, so they might need a different gasket washer, which shouldn't be hard).

I got OEM decompression plug.

Also I have a spare carb that you can try.

I'd be curious to test the current case and jug I've got that is toast. Just to see if I've got an air leak or if it was a fuel delivery issue. Maybe we can meet up one night this week and test it?

buy from @Ozhoo he's here. he will ship it quick. farmertec gaskets are good quality. i have no problems with them

the stihl gasket kit will have seals. i think its 35$.

i was just looking on ebay. they have the mityvac 8500 for 66.48. you could resell it here and the next builder could buy and repeat

I think, the carbs are time bombs, been changing mine out. You can burn one up with no air leak. Carb not working right, jet to small, air leak. All just fuel related. Then you have the cylinder pitfalls.

I see good people not understanding the importance of those things until it's too late. Guess that needs to be taught in saw builders school that is included in each saw. Or just do what HL does. Don't build a saw with this kit and you can't have problems you can't solve. I don't like that one, but it works lol

You really don't like them HL kits. I liked that I got one from a place that spoke Engrish within 2 time zones.

I was quoting from their website. has nothing to do with the kit. its important to use context.




i wonder what the jets measure on the 660 carb? i have a bag full of them just no way to measure. everything aftermarket is off in measure a little bit. can you afford that on a epa sized jet?

Ozhoo was nice enough to send me the cylinder head bolts. I'll contact him about the case and crank. I bought the OEM gasket kit the first time around. I'd like to do the same this time around. How do you feel about the farmertec crank seals?

Did you see my post on that kit. They are included you don't need FarmerTec. I use their seals. Oem Everytime you can afford it and FarmerTec everyother time for me. Except carbs, oem from now on. What we can't see can hurt us.

 

[Marco]

I guess, warning that you may not get this to work is better than you be big man, buy now.

I bought my 8500 on eBay from seller "sarafankit2009" and when it had issues a couple months later they refused to take it back, and MityVac refused to honor a warranty (working now after slamming on desk, though). Buyer beware.

We always need to be aware. How often do companies offer to meet a warranty obligation? Depends. The extra warranty is our only recourse on eBay. Did Mityvac say they were not authorized? Caveat emptor

Most of the jets are. . 62 which we both know that's way to small considering the ms460 comes stalk with a . 70 and I believe when i modified my jet i think my jet is pretty close to that now. Lol and what a world of difference that made.
