    Stihl 066 magnum switch falls from warm start back into cold start

    My grandfather has an 066 magnum that he purchased around 1995. It has seen a lot of miles through the years and I’ve taken to using it now that he is getting old enough that the big saws are hard on his back. Recently I’ve been running and 881 my cousin just bought so I left the 066 with my...

    Stihl 066 Red Light Ignition / Flywheel Replacement

    Howdy folks, I got a project chainsaw for the right price, free! It is a Stihl 066 with the digital red light. I don't know if I have spark and the compression is shot. It looks like the saw was run without oil. I also noticed that the flywheel is missing a fin. Part Number 1122 400 1209. What...

    Stihl 066 RUD during milling

    Hi there, I'm an amateur woodworker and have recently gotten into milling and drying my own lumber using a Stihl 066 (and lo pro milling chain and bar). Halfway through a nice bit of oak, the saw cut out and the pull cord wouldn't move to re-start. Turns out we'd had a RUD (Rapid Unintentional...

    STIHL 066 chain running out of control while idling

    Hello all I have a STIHL 066 that just got out of the shop and mechanic said it was “tuned” right. The saw has aftermarket exhaust on it. Throttle response is good and engine seems to be running good. while idling, the chain keeps turning and sometimes turns at high speed. Any idea on what...

    Stihl 066

    Hi Just got a good deal on an 066. Everything is oem except a metor piston and rings. The saw is an absolute beast and has no issues as far as I can tell but there are some cracks and small pieces that broke off on the bottom of the bar side of the crankcase. If this damage causes any trouble in...

    Stihl 066 32" Bar Lean Seize Failure - Advice

    I just found out that it sounds like my Stihl 066 had a Lean Seizure. I had the coil replaced by a guy that didn't know that it was out but was a "Small Engine Repair" person. After he couldn't get the saw to start I started taking pics and on another Stihl forum I was told that this pic...

    Stihl 066 rebuild

    I got a scrap pile saw, and decided it'd be a good project for me. I have the cylinder off the crank case. I was hoping for the best, but the piston is done for. It actually kind of looks like someone tore it apart, put fresh rings on it, and honed the cylinder. I started to clean the exhaust...

    066 Rookie (Burned after reading)

    Bought an 066 off of eBay a few days ago and have been patiently waiting for it to arrive in the mail. While reading up on them I ran across the redlight articles regarding the 066 flat tops and wondered how fragile the crank actually is when an aluminum flywheel is run with an unlimited coil...
