Huztl MS660

Help Support Arborist Forum:
I just finished building the ms660 (I've never built a saw or even worked on one before). It took about 4 hours of work and it went pretty straight forward. I forgot the AV mount that went against the gas tank so I had to take a lot of it back apart to put that on. The part diagrams made it fairly easy with a little bit of problem solving. I didn't use a base gasket and ended up with .027" of quench. I didn't need any special tools to press the crank on because it just tapped in place with a piece of wood and a hammer. It's not a tight press fit at all.
I ran into 3 problems:
1.) The fuel cap o-ring was too loose and leaked fuel. I ordered a replacement OEM cap gasket.
2.) The pull start often stuck when you pulled it to the full extension. I fixed this by winding the starter a few extra turns and it seems to be good.
3.) The saw quit running and after investigating I found that the ignition coil failed. The coil itself still checks out fine with 8.4kohm but even with the shut-off switch leads disconnected and the spark plug threads grounded to the cylinder it's not sparking anymore. I'm finding that there's no resistance between the shutoff leads. It seems like something internal is shorting.
Overall it ran great and seems like a beast. It cut through a 42" log very quickly.

Are both bar studs the same in the kit or does one have a large tapered shoulder and the other a short flat shoulder?

Comical and aggravating to have two different studs in the same bag.

What's the best email to use to get in touch with huztl for problems like this?

Thanks, Ozhoo. Got to clean all the chips out of the case halves and finish inventory on some of the small stuff. And hit the dealer up today before he closes.
Their parts bins are cross contaminated I suspect.
Mismatched parts happens quite frequently.
Actually the messaging system on the website is the best way. You have your orders and tracking right there and the email client does not get stupid on you like some do when you hit reply (ya Yahoo I am talking to you) in a long chain.
