MS 660 - What to look for?

[Levi of the North]

Hey all. I’m looking at a used MS 660 that’s for sale tomorrow. Never owned one before, so I’m not sure what common wear/breakage points are. Anything in particular I should look for?

pretty solid saws overall. the big thing to look for these days is people trying to pass off china clones as genuine stihl saws.

Check the compression and if the seller lets you pull that muffler off and see if the piston has any scoring on it.

Chi-Com parts and check piston by removing muffler. Run it in wood. Bring a fat round and gas.

Is seller balks, you walk.
