FarmerTec Huztl MS660 Updated Build Kit - Build Thread

We will see but I think this is the combo I have been looking for I know people that use the kits in the work but this strikes me as possibly a real replacement long term. I gotta hold back but it really looks promising

Many thanks, again.



Can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or serious here, MG Porting. Is it big jetting or not?

Also, looks like the Walbro and the Tillotson are about the same $. Any preference, or are they about the same?

There about the same and the tillotson is jetted just right for 600ft so you can go ether way I just prefer the tillotson.

Good about time. Lol. I told you that you would be grinning ear to ear.

I quit and ran some errands. I had been just letting it idle and on the 3rd time I was going to raise the idle and I found the throttle stuck. Lol, that's when I left.

The wire had gotten caught behind a piece of the handle off the floor. Anyway I got back, freed it, and now going to cycle it 3 more time raising the rpm, time and temperature and I should be done.

Sure sounds good and it does make you smile. This is actually the 4th to topend and the last for some time to come I am sure. It was a cross, famertec, FarmerTec, meteor.

The finish on the cross was pretty good the meteor was perfect. FarmerTec none were smooth.

I'm sure you'll find a reason now to go cut some stuff up with it more often now. Lol. Glad you're happy with it.

I am not afraid to cut with it now. That's the big difference.

Well I finally got it together. It popped on the sixth pull and was running on the 8th. I adjusted the H and L screws at 1 1/2 turns out before install. Let it idle a couple minutes and shut it down, fired right back up. Compression was at 145 after a few minutes run. It feels like a lot more than that judging by the two blodbl spots on the back of my hand when the decomp would pop out too soon. The throttle response in very good with the initial setting. Idleing at 2500, couldn't resist ripping it wide open one time. It was 13,100 . It is completely kit parts. The fuel cap is leaking, looks like the gasket is contacting both surfaces. I m not sure why it is leaking. I put 50:1 mix in it. It has some black oil blowing out of the muffler. Could be from the 2 cycle oil I used to lube the bearings and cylinder walls when I put it together. Maybe I can get a bar and chain on it in the next few days and stick it in a piece of wood.

I haven't put any bar oil in it yet so I don't know if the oiler is working or not.

If will still pump and leave a blob of oil where it sits. I am breaking mine in and changed the paper bag under it twice, no bar on it.

I have not tuned it yet, I just set both screws 1 1/2 turns out when I put the carb in. But yes its leaking out black oily mess all over the pretty white paint.

I know, thats why I didn't put any in it yet. I wanted to see if it would run first. I dont mind saying that was a good feeling when it popped and fired up. I was quite happy and a little proud of myself.

As you should be - that is a great accomplishment - well done. Good learning tool too for how they work - yes?

As to your decomp. valve, I found that the one supplied with my kit would pop out on EVERY pull, not just if the saw tried to start. This coupled with the fact that the plastic button would pop off the stem at random times lead me to replace the supplied decomp with OEM right away - problem solved.

Thank you. Yes mine pops out every pull and before a complete pull sometimes, hence the bloody hand. I will have to get one and figure something out about the leaking fuel cap.

Do you think it might hurt the pump to run it dry?

I hope not. I greased it when I put it together. I will put some oil in it before I crank it again

Do NOT run 50to1! Its not enough oil! 32 to 1 in these saws. Do as you wish but if you want it to last 32to1 bud.

 

[Bedford T]

A large gas seller near me has pumps that sell gas that is 85% corn. Wonder how many saw are subjected to that and we never hear. I found the pump setup quite confusing. There were 5 hoses or I would have driven away. Even the E15 can be quite damaging. After seeing that I am sticking with av100 for sure

That's all I had, everything else I have uses it. I figured since I had lubed everything up with 2 cycle oil upon assembly it should be enough oil to see if it would run
