Stihl ms661 full wrap handle installation question.....

[Finnrpm]

Hello to all!

I just finished installing full wrap handle to ms661, and noticed that handle bar has a collar screw and bushing which are in a slot ( in the crankcase ) if installed correctly.
Now i can't remember was the somekind av-rubber grommet or not, neither i can't find anything to fill this slot in IPL.

Here is pics.....

And a close up..

So is it supposed to look like that or is something missing in picture? Thanks!

Pretty sure it supposed to be like that. It a stopper so av mounts don't stretch too far as far as I know.

I had a look at mine and it same as your photo. Tried uploading a photo for you to compare but it bit over my head sorry

I have been googling around (since posting) for pics and it seems that it is like that, a stopper for av-mounts.

No worries. Great saw to use. Does full wrap handle affect stump height much

 

[Finnrpm]

Not much, 3" max.
Have to say that 661 is overkill for the cutting what i'm mostly doing, but hey, overkill never fails!

 

[mistabarista]

Cool. Yeah it been overkill for what I've been doing lately too but hopefully get some better wood soon. I'd rather have too much power than not enough though.

that stopper almost looks like a direct copy of the 576 stopper. could stihl be copying husky again?
