Kit builders I just read something on sprockets and saw setup. if you have never read this article you should. It addressed bar sizes and I had never seen an article that gave me a "scientific" way to judge what is appropriate for the size saw. Stuff like clutch wear, etc. And understanding this would be helpful to us. I wish they had a store in the SE US. They would likely starve here, but it would be cool to have access.

Sounds good. :yes::drinkingcoffee:
 
Alright got my 660 kit delivered today!
Went through the parts list with a fine tooth comb. I have question for you guys.

part number 1128 664 1001 #21 in the parts diagrahm I did not get. Instead I have 1128 664 1002 or #20 in the picture. is this an alternative part? All my other Stihl saws run the thin metal chain guide on both sides. Does this saw only run one on the engine side?
Other than the above everything was in the box nothing missing. I did get the wrong brake spring the 440 one offset. But I had ordered one and already have it. So set on that. So ready to get on this build starting tomorrow.

They just have one plate here if my memory serves me. The part 1002 was when they used old way. It does not have rounded holes. Order you the right one. 1001 .9mm. Glad you got it. Get a good night's sleep it will be a blur by Saturday night.

edit: They are insane. That's the definition of insane repeating the same mistake over and over and never get a different outcome. They need to put a 660 spring in box too at least

IMG_20180302_094059.jpg So I must have the correct one as the holes are round but its very thin? I assumed it was 1001 but it matched the stihl diagram #20 just to thin? I see now 1002 has square holes. So I got the correct design of plate its just .47mm thick not .9mm.
 
Got my saw together, minus the chain deflector they didn't send...do they reply to messages? I sent a list of missing/ incorrect parts, no response.

Anyway my saw won't chooch. Is there a way I can check if it's getting spark? I put an ngk plug in. Sprayed some starting fluid in as well, nothing. Thinking it's the electrical.

Had the choke all the way down... didn't even burb once

Did you pressure vacuum test the saw and fuel circuit?

You pull the plug out leave it plugged into the coil and set it against the head/cylinder. Pull the rope and see if the plug sparks. Make sure the plug is grounded and touching the head for sure.

Thanks, I didn't see anything. Guess I got a bad coil...
 
Does anyone have a direct email to someone at huztl? not getting a response though the web form...sent a few messages over two weeks. thanks

Did you make sure the ignition switch was in the "run" position when you checked for spark? If it was "off" - no spark for sure. Don't ask me how many times I have done THAT! Also, I seem to recall that the spark plug cap contactor in the spark plug boot is a bit wonky. Give it a good look to make sure it connects well with the plug cap when all is together.

I had the switch all the way down, full choke
I may take it apart and see if the shut off contacts are screwed up
 
Hey also forgot to mention my new kit came with the west coast cover to. I did not order that just bought the kit and that's what came. Pretty cool.
