Well guys, Looks like I got my work cut out for me with the 066. I ran it some yesterday and thought it was lacking..... just didn't realize how much until I done some timed cuts this morning. I put a lot of time in the 066 cylinder:(. All saws are wearing the same bar and chain, and all saws have 7 pins. Wood is either a Black Oak or a Burr Oak, haven't investigated it the see exactly which one it is, but its fairly hard.

By my watch, the 066 averaged 20.32. The 372XPW averaged 16.02. The 395 averaged 15.49.:msp_confused: Back to the drawing board.......

The 372XPW is the best running saw (sound wise) I've heard in any of the videos in this thread. The saw just sounds "right as rain". It sounds just like my MS361, crisp and skareem-in.
 
I finally go around to running my saw with the 066 RL this morning. Its nothing to brag about, but my saw is faster than the Red Light saw.....by an average of .60 seconds :laugh:. Thats not good enough for me :(. As far as I know, the RL 066 is stock, It had a fresh piston and rings put in it last year by a Stihl dealer. It does have a dual port muffler cover. Im gonna put my wheel on it and check the port timing afterwhile, just so I know!

If and when I get time, Im gonna be putting a timing light on both saws. Im interested to see if there is a ignition timing difference between the RL 66, and my 66 with the dummy (1300) coil.
 
Well Durand maybe you can figure something out with it. :msp_confused:
 
I will say this, That stock Red light was pretty damn impressive!

If it is for sure a stock saw, Ill know before long. I know the logger that had it before this guy ended up with it....I wouldn't bet that it is stock....but it could be.
 
if its got a non decomp cylinder on it it will make you think its ported compared to a new 066/660
 
Here's a brand new MS660 I ported today. After this vid, I went back in and found a little more. Unfortunately, it was after dark and couldn't get a vid. No popup in this one.

Randy has my 32" that should be making the trip. I might make it up to get the other one sometime in the next week. I was planning on selling the 066 after the buildoff but I kinda like this one.

Carl if I'm home I'll be heading up there and you can hitch a ride with me.
