Cool to see a zama carb too, what's the difference in performance between those and the tillotson carbs?

I don't think any. He is buying in a different country and selling here. Stihl replaced the Tillotson with the Zama LB-S9A. They still use it on the MS720. They don't sell the 720 here. So I doubt you could buy the gasket kit at Stihl. I am real happy with the Tillotson.

here are 3 photos of the oem chip guard. the one that came on the first saws were thick and the AM replacements are thinner. the rubber quality is as expected from stihl, outsight. the photo (4) showing a thinner is a farmertec. i think Brazil is the area that stihl has these parts for sale

Getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these. Currently have a 661 that I was going to use for milling, but stumbled across these bad boys. Anyone have some good videos of milling with one of these in 36"+ oak?

This is the tree I want to mill. I think I cut it into 10+ foot sections. Do you guys think slabs could bring good money from a tree like this?

That's a big tree. The type wood is the most important factor, then size, around here anyway. It's still fun. You can build fences, benches, outbuildings with about any ole wood. That tree is big enough to be a sweetgum. I hate them. Hate is a mean word. But it fits

Look at any Farmertec ms660 milling video an imagine it's blue. These saws are not special they are blue/purple kits assembled by Chinese. If you want to mainly mill get the 070

It's a white oak. I also have some 24" section from the oak that was next to it.

Google furniture wood in your area. A place here pays according to size and species, they are a good market for guys slabbing. Then if you have more than one you can play one against the other

I just blocked it up with a round so it would be stable when I cut it. It was on the rootball.

Cool. Will do! Just wondering what you might be getting for 24" wide by 1.5" to 3" slabs at 10' length?

 

[ja_cain]

Boom! Just cause he's asking, doesn't mean he's getting. It's a start though. Lol!

I don't i looked into it. I wanted to know how it worked so in case I came across some good wood I could talk to the right person. Bottom line I learned you need to work locally and build relationships to get best price and move it. What they sell it for tells me what to ask. I am doing all the work, he is just buying. I figured I would be low at first and work up. That is my plan.

The guy on Craigslist is trying the market. Small furniture makers look to be best best. Thing is they need stability in pricing so I bet he has a hard time unless he is right place

For anyone who attempts this build in the future, the decompression valve is installed with the cylinder mounted to the case.


There is a special tool for this. See the picture taken from.the service manual with part number listed above the images.

Additionally, it doesn't sound like you all are working from the full size service manual. It has a full step by step with pictures and details on how to build and teardown one of these. It will answer lots of your questions.

The last thing I saw questioned and left hanging that I can answer is the stator plate.


The aftermarket one you have is an electronic ignition conversion.

If you unscrew the orange box from the plate, it's an epoxy sealed unit. No condensor or points or anything.

You set the air gap with a business card and timing is handled from there.

We had a manual Stihl gave us. Kinda arrogant for you to assume we did not have something.

So you took apart an electronic device that was sealed to use a business card on it. Sounds like you are making this up.
