Yes, photo of impulse and compensating top. They are the same size, I took it at a slight angle. Fuel feed would have to be rotated.
The nipple on the comp top is the same thing principal as the snorkle, it just has a line to go behind the filter to clean/non dusty air.
sorry, That was supposed to have been deleted. I have been working with my 025 off and on all day. The second I hit send, I went OS. I deleted refreshed and it showed gone. Dumb phone

Well after the crazy morning I had today I still manage to get in the garage and tare down my first ms660 down for some much needed help in the squish area at first it started at . 034 and Yea it ran great with that after I did my port work to it but I new there was more on the table with this saw and me being who I am couldn't let it go. Lol. So after taking the base down a little bit and voila! . 024 I can live with that but my spare ms660 we I get out of the dog house I'll be changing the piston and cylinder hopefully soon and that one I'm going to shoot for . 020 or . 022 just because I guess. Lol. 
I wish I could participate. My lung function sux. Adding compression means I can not start the saw.
What do you use a Dremel, air tool or what. Do you have a lathe? The process is very interesting to me.

HI there Bedford T. Well for my port work I use a dremel for taking the base down I use a flat piece of glass and place my sandpaper on top then the fun begins with making sure that the cylinder stays flat and making sure that you move the cylinder around or changing direction of movement it takes time doing it this way but I feel I have more control over the amount of material that is being taken off my friend who has a lathe always laughs every now and then every time I brake out my peas of glass to make something flat.
That's actually a very plain intelligent way to do it. Patience and steady hand would give you a flat surface. No expensive lathe required. I will remember that. I got a Dremel and thought about giving it a go, have yet to do it. I have the pencil attachment. I need to get some cutters. And I have two cylinders that could be for practice. One day...

Yep that's how you get good at it. Lol. Lots of practice but can be fun on top of that to Get a assortment of carbide bits they work the best for doing port work but there not cheap so you might have to buy one one month and the next one another month like I did. Lol.
Lol, that is excatly how I aquire stuff. Lots of folks charge. I am a cash only dude. It's a slower process but there is no sweating involved when the bill comes due. Just a large amount of envy. Lol. I will put carbide on the list. Thanks for the tip.

Yep you bet. And when you do decide to try taking on doing some port work I can help you out with the duo's and donts to help keep you in the right direction.

Got my MS66 put together, one seal was not looking quite right, so it was replaced. Only really bad part was the chain tensioner, the gear was not on the end of the adjustment screw, it had been broke off before it was packaged. Took the chain tensioner out of my 044 until I can get one shipped to me.
The only other problem was the kit was missing nuts and bolts for the dogs. But as luck would have it I had a set of falling dogs and the mounting bolts in my parts box.
The cylinder was really nice no pits or marring, one port had a rough edge that smoothed out with 400 grit in no time. Rings were awfully sloppy on the piston, which made aligning to the pins slightly more difficult, solved the problem by using some plastic packing straps for a home made ring compressor.
It was quite a fun project.
Tomorrow I will be firing it up for the first time.

Cool can't wait to hear how it goes for you.
I bet they have sold 5000 kits and never once provided those nuts. Nice you could rob Peter to pay Paul. Hopefully you tested it and she runs real nice for you. Looking forward to hearing

Went out cutting this afternoon with a friend. Sense my SP125c McCulloch is down being rebuilt I took my MS660. As always it performed flawlessly until I hit something in the wood and sparks flew and the chain quit cutting. Oh well cannot win them all. But it was cutting like a dream up until that point.

Nice size tree. I know the feeling when you are in the middle of a cut and all of sudden the foul words come out because you know that your going to have to sharpen the chain because someone drove a nail or something in the tree 25 years ago. Lol
That sux. What part of the tree did it happen? Hard to tell from photo. One of my many trees has a wire embedded about 5ft off the ground. Maybe part of a fence. 200$ bar + 45$ chain I should tattoo the tree. We need some treedar. To see metal in a tree. Lol

It was about 60 feet up. I wonder if a metal detector would work on a tree? Out in the woods I don't hit much, but trees close to houses I always hit things. I hit two T posts once about two weeks apart.

Iron usually leaves purple spots
I have often wondered how that works. Let's say someone drives something in a young tree around ground level, 90 years later guy cuts the tree down and is sawing it up and gets a surprise 60 ft up. Is that likely the same item that was in the tree? And I really think a detector would work and save time and money long term. There are huge tree contractors who might know more about what's in use, or saw Mills might have something they run the sticks through before they hit the blades. I will try to ask the guys next time I see those trucks.
