Going to look at a stihl 066 tomorrow

[Venomvpr900]

Talked to him again and we are meeting in the morning. He said the 066 is all original and never been took apart and has great compression. But he said the tank got cracked before he had it and he said he fixed it with jbweld or something like that. he said it won't leak and hasn't leaked since then. What do you guys think about that. I told him I wanted to look it over real good and he said he didn't blame me

Thought it had a new cylinder put on? Never been took apart? Something seems fishy

He was also selling a 064 and that was the one he had a 066 top end put on it and he sold it the other day. He says the 066 magnum is all original and in good shape except for the patched gas tank. We'll see in the morning I guess

 

[Venomvpr900]

I see. I love my 066! I'll have another if a deal comes along.

If the tank is busted up good that may be a little more in your favor of getting a deal.

i'd be very careful, selling two saws with replaced jugs, cracked tank, could be a saw jockey picking up old logging saws and patching them up and turning them for a buck, a new oem jug,piston,rings and rod bearing are going to set the average guy back 325.00.

I am going to check it out good and the 066 is stock and he said it's never been tore apart so I will look very closely

Good luck.

Offer him $300 if it looks and runs good. A new tank is about $150.

I know he won't take that and if it looks okay I will pay no more than $400 for it as long as the tank checks out okay if tank looks bad I will pass on it and go get me a 562xp

 

[nmurph]

JB will leak sooner or later.

 

[250R]

Did you buy it?
