066 Id

OK Stihl Guru's. Not a great picture, but this appears to be a Red Light 066. No compression release. I have been fooled on occasion by a round area where the light is supposed to be, but there is not really a lense there. It still has the digital sticker on the air cleaner cover. How about some opinions.....

It's definitely one of the old units; much easer to track down precisely with a serial number...

Been thinking about this a bit and this is what I recall.

--Of course the LED will be wired into the ignition, don't recall how. This means that there is a specific (and expensive, $130!) coil for the redlight special.

--Flywheel is different and will be all metal.

--Different crank, smaller flywheel taper, smaller flywheel nut, smaller flywheel-side seal. PTO seal is the same. Don't ask how I know.

--As you already know, no decomp.

--Main bearings are the same.

--My muffler was already dual-ported with a factory cover. I don't know if it is original.

--From what I was told, redlight specials were sold as Magnum 066s.

In all, a very tough saw to beat. I do love using mine, though I drained it of gas and put it up for awhile.

Thanks for the input guys. I have an 064 but really want a RL 066. This one is for sale and I am considering it. I asked for the SN Lake. If I get an answer I will run it by you.

They've got the orange too. I've painted several 056's with that stuff. Works pretty well for spray paint.

If you do not end up with the 066 you posted let me know. I will be parting with a 066 red this coming week. It will either be traded or sold.

I just looked at that RL on ebay and she really looks rough and the bid is already up there with the shipping. You must really want her bad. no dual port cover either, just a hole or 2 in the front cut in or rusted in. Good luck.

Yea, People ran it up in the last day or so. It looks like it will get to some kind of a silly price. I don't want it that bad!

I believe this is the auction

http://cgi.ebay.com/STIHL-066-CHAIN...3QQihZ013QQcategoryZ79669QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

As of right now it sets at $360 which is not bad for a red light.

Only the last 5 seconds matter in an auction... the snipers get in then. If you don't snipe, it's rare to win a popular saw.

These 3 are also features of non red light 066s of the era.
