I had always thought my MS 460 w/ DP had plenty of power, until I started visiting this site. I now know it clearly does not 
. I don't need that much saw, just a HP junky who likes to watch chips fly and digs fast cuts. Well, couldn't take it any longer; the new MS 660 will be here next week, along with 8pin sprocket, dual port muffler cover, square ground chain, cetra, cetra.
I understand the carb needs reset after installing the DP cover, but I also don't want to go no load max RPM with a new saw to adjust the mixture. Should I wait until it's broke in to put the cover on and readjust? Or just put the cover on now and go to the safe side of rich? Is max rpm on a 660 13,500? Also, planning on trying some milling. I'm OK with breaking a saw in with normal use, but is milling a bit of an extreme use for a new saw? How long should it be run under normal use before trying to mill with it? When milling, is it best to richen up a bit to run cooler? Thanks all!
