I think we will live with our Weber wrap handles that I mounted in March on two of our big saws. They work. I do appreciate your offer.
Stihl MS 661 having the bog blues

A saw with about 10 gallons run threw it, is it possible to trade it in on another if the dealer cant figure it out in a timily manner? The 661 was bought in febuary
I would think Stihl can do whatever they want to, and I'm sure you will be OK in the end. Only thing I'd do different is not put any money into troubleshooting. That said, at least you have a spare part.
They can take care of you however they want when you are under warranty. I think I would ask for another 661 though, most users seem very happy with them.
yes solenoid was replaced.
talked to a stihl rep today above and beyond the dealer. The guy was real nice, he is going to inform the shop that they must get the diagnostic tools
Better yet, have them give U a new one and send this one back to Germany for analysis! Don't they get into doing that? I don't think that anyone that had a prototype 661 got to keep it.
Well I should have posted that the dealer could not find an issue with the saw, so he returned it to me to try it. He pressure and vac tested, checked impulse, checked intake boot, checked welch plugs in carb and fuel hose for kinks. No problems found. I retested the saw and still same issues. he also used canned stihl fuel premix with no change in running.

I run VP, and have that bog more often if I try piss revving ............... if I leave it for a second (after any cut), I don't get it. Still have to try the overhead thing

Was he able to reproduce the problem in his shop? That sucks man....I'd be interested in seeing a video of the bog.
You said rev changed when saw was lifted up in the air and when on sideways, does it still happen ?
Saw runs to same as before, still has rev change when tip of bar is up

I'd return it and demand a new saw. If they are no help contact your rep again, he should be able to take care of it.

Maybe you found the elusive 661 recall defect from when they came out ,and no one would tell what it was ,or maybe not ,who knows .
