FarmerTec Huztl MS660 Updated Build Kit - Build Thread

[fleethirte]

It came in plugged after I removed it for younger guy. Next thing you know he was wanting a D ring handle and then later he ordered a decomp.
He said 200psi stock with base gasket. No clue never checked it myself.

I used to have the mentality of grip it and rip it too. But I grew up and got older and wiser.

Passive aggressive much..... hahhahaha

Just let us know in another 30 years added to your age now.

30 more years, or a rotator cuff tear (for any other reason?) ought to do it eh


I used a Husky decomp valve in my MS660 clone and it works as it is supposed to.

Only reason this one didnt get husky one. I ran out.

Probably true but I have never used the Decomp to start my saws

Neither have I, until I picked up the 660. A lot of compression there. It will rip the pull cord out of your hand. With the decomp it starts like a regular saw.

You probably could start my 660 without the decomp but it will 100% hurt you if it rips the rope thru your fingers. Hell it does that with the decomp in, because it usually kicks off on the first turnover. Only big saw ive seen that can hang in my shop 4 months and start on 1 pull if you can shut the choke off fast enough.

Maybe in 30 years I will remember all the advice of the white and gray hairs on here and put decomps back in my saws.... maybe....

Its not a strength thing, its a..."the rope and your hand are headed in opposite directions" thing...

Post back in here after you get the 660 running. Of all the saws I have ran, that one is a bit different.

Don’t worry I have another MS660 that’s working fine and a Husky 395

 

[RED-85-Z51]

395 and oem 660 don't really need the decomp. The holzforma kicks harder. ElastoStart might help it

I got a HYWAY and STHIL needle cage bearing for the 660. Should I save the STHIL for my next build which I will use more STHIL parts and use the HYWAY or just ditch the HYWAY and get another STHIL needle cage bearing?

if anything use the decomp to prevent wear to the starter recoil assembly

How tight do you tighten the intake manifold clamp on the 660? I used a OEM clamp but boot came with the kit.

Do you have a manual??? I sent you a PM... Manual shows to tighten clamp as jug is installed.

 

[Bedford T]

How do you identify if the MS660 kit has the HLIC carb? Also who sells the HLIC carb? Would like to put the bigger jet in it!

Again, you will have to look. eBay is where I would start and don't trust the photos. Ask? You can get the same in a walbro wj-70 or buy the wj-68 and put the larger jet in it. You got options.

It's in my videos or website. I recall it's 5-6mm measured between the clamp opening. I demonstrate that. The oem clamp is best

So my 2021 parts kit is built.

1. No missing parts, 2 extra screws
2. small area of bad paint inside bar oil area, had to scrap out loose paint
3. circlips no longer have ears you need to clip
4. chain adjuster needed brass tube to take some of the slop
5. muffler needed a little persuasion to fit and a extra gasket
6. both crank bearings were garbage - metal bits and damage. replaced with aftermarket
7. used aftermarket gasket kit
8. carb didnt work, flooded. did a full disassemble and ultrasound cleaning - now works great
9. used a husky decomp
10. no other problems - starts in 2 pulls
