Is this a Good Deal/Bad Deal

[mitch95100]

Hey, got a nice crack at a Ms660 and i was wondering if you think this is a good deal or not... im pretty sure its a good deal i just want to be re assured. Any way Its a 2009 Stihl MS660 Mag with a 20 inch bar for 200.00, but the catch is it needs a new p&c, tested about 120 on the comp tester which IMHO its a little low, lived most of its life working for a tree service and wasnt treated badly by any means but wasnt pampered either. ill post pics as soon as i get them but for now tell me what you think.
Good or bad?

Good.... Buy it.

Not bad if you have a use for it. I'd hate to put out that money and not have anything for it to do but sit on the shelf.

It's a good deal- jump on it. It's worth that even in parts. If you don't want it, I do.

You're the one asking if you should go for it or not, which tells me you haven't made up your mind...

However, I already have made up my mind!

Good Deal, and what makes you think it needs a new jug? If its still pulling 120 compression #'s it probably just needs rings, and possibly a little acid work in the cylindar if there's any transfer.

Sorry i should of made myself more clear. I just want to put a new P&C in it thinking about one of them Big Bore Kits, it could get by with new rings, i just want to have a little more snort in it if ya know what i mean. then i can add new rings to the original P&C and put them in a different 066/660 and mabey sell it or keep it as a back up

I would stick with the original cylinder and get a new Meteor piston for it. Either way, it's going to be more profitable if you sell the saw or just as good a runner than what
the big bore kit would provide if you were to keep it.

ill take that into consideration, im not un-willing to think on other peoples suggestions.
Either way i look at it its a good deal!

Stick with the OEM cylinder if you can and send it off to one of the builders here to be ported.Your money would be better spent that way.
World of difference between a BB kit and a saw that's been ported properly.

Only thing I'm wondering is why you haven't bought it yet?

 

[mitch95100]

your all telling me to stick with OEM whats wrong with the BB kits? Just wondering, cauz i have one in my 044 and its given me no problems what so ever.

So, the question is whether or not a 3 year old 660 that only needs rings is a good buy at 200 bucks?:msp_confused::msp_confused::msp_confused::msp_confused:

Methinks the question was really just a "nananabooboo, lookie at my good bargain" statement hidden with a question mark! LOL.

Get the stupid thing already and pics or it never happened.

If you cannot get the OEM cylinder to clean up, the I would get a BB from Bailey's. The quality of those cylinders is terrific and as nice as the OEM P/C. However, don't expect a bump in power over the stock bc the porting just isn't there. But I agree with a Meteor piston and OEM cylinder as the first choice, provided it can be cleaned.

I have done an exhaustive search on Craigslist looking for the city that covers "By a cornfield in a box" to steal this out from under the OP. No luck so far...

I know chainsaws are more expensive here, but that still sounds like a silly question. Grab it (I'm even jealous!). That saw would go for at least 600$ here!!!

 

[mitch95100]
