Speaking of tests - once I get this broken in....

36" bar? 28" ? other?

I like your thinking!

 

[porsche965]

I think my oiler will need turned up once the 36" is strapped on. Any ideas how to do that? Read some talk about a "pin?" Thanks.

 

[redoakneck]

very nice!!!! I really like those dawgz!!!

gas tank a bit different than the 660. 661 curves around.

oil tank looks possibly a little smaller than the 660? I gotta compare.

looking for places to do a dual port muffler... might have to use a different style deflector.


any other pics you guys wanna see? I'm going to do some comparisons to 660R

That second deflector looks good on the top,

I like these 661's so much I am picking up the second one Wednesday or Thursday which is a wrap.

Tree service friend bought one last week. Sent me a text from 40' in the bucket with a 25" strapped on his and took the time to tell me thanks for talking him into a new saw for himself. He worked all day today with it and loves it.
That is a good report.

It does.

 

[porsche965]

Maybe bring the height down a bit on the deflector

 

[redbull660]

yeah I really like how the rear cover (air filter cover) doubles as a dust cover (black part sticking out in front) seems to seal up nice as well

really like the air filter. Nice snug fit.

like how they did the seal - 3rd pic

wish the wrap was all black.

I would just make the stock opening larger and keep the screen intact ,up on top will warm the hands up,

Mine looks good but the wrap is even better!

 

[redbull660]

here is the instructions on the oiler & Picture of adjustments

To get full oil adjustment - simply tap that pin in. All I used: small brass hammer, and the small Stihl orange screwdriver...few light taps. Did't take much.

also looks like you get a different bar nut/screw driver. Shorter handle. Both old and new seem to work fine...and not hitting the handle like the 660. (wrap 'R' only)

and there was no little orange screw driver included That was weird...just doesn't seem right.

 

[porsche965]

If I'd read manuals I wouldn't ask dumb questions. Thanks on the oiler page!

28

Picked up my 661c today...running it right now beside my 441c.

Run it against that 064 too

 

[redbull660]

here it is with a 28" Tsumura Light .063 .404 - with a custom made Stihl RS "double skip" chain is what I call it. heh Right cutter, left cutter, then two open DL's, then right cutter, left cutter, and 2 open DL's again etc.

28" tsumura light balances really nice on the saw. Maybe better than the 660.

I'll do more pics and get her started tomorrow.
