Meanwhile, about that MS661..... We had our church's Christmas dinner this evening, so had to leave for a few hours.
This saw runs fantastic! I think Stihl has a winner here. I can't wait to get some run time on it. It was almost dark when I finished putting it back together. A slapped the same B&C back on it that I used last time, only to remember that I had hit something and seriously dulled the chain. As dark as it was, it was either run it like it was, or wait until next week. I figured a dull chain was better than having to wait. You can still tell what the engine runs like, just don't watch the cutting speed, lol! I am very optimistic about this saw! The saw idles great, has great throttle response, and is holding great RPMs in the cut. Compression is 178 PSI. This is only the 5th cut this saw has made since new, so it's not broken in at all really.
I'll get another video next week with a proper chain on it.
