Still like the Blue g660's, worked through the kits and built a few to actually work ready saws. The big benefit to me is parts for obsolete saws like the ms660 and original edition 372's, lets you keep them in service with out breaking the bank. I've had spotty luck when trying to introduce those parts into a real logging environment, although was able to develop the 660 into a stable and productive saw. For most of us, especially those with multiple saws and only seasonal weekend warrior work, those "debugged" clones probably will do the task and last as well. The three I have had the best luck when pushing them to real work are the g660, g372, g5800. Pretty much all the others required a varying degree of development before getting solid work time out of them. Currently developing the g372xt as with the bigger carb and the better of the Aftermarket cases, it has a head start. BUT the squarish handles frankly "s*ck" so the Huztl handle with the red throttle cable is a good upgrade if you want all clone, I put a well used OEM 372 handle on mine and it was a different saw. Still have "wandering" low speed issues.....but will try an OEM ignition and see if that helps, if not an OEM carb. Also plan to sub in a Lil Red barn popup and gut the intake as well...
Muffler mods too. We will see how it turns out! It run OK now if you can deal with the low speed issues.
