Huztl MS660

Is it part # 1128 647 4802

This is the high output control bolt? Those Aussies always get the good stuff!

 

[Johnnybar]

Does it require being paired with the AUS version pump piston 1122 647 0602 ?

 

[Antarctica]

Mine was only lightly scraping the counter weight. I noticed when checking my squish. At first I took to much off the piston and had some free port. I had a spare piston and I didn't want freeport so I took just enough off to not hit and have no Freeport. I didn't measure how much I took off. Maybe .030-.040

Great info - Thanks.

Here's an online parts list/diagrahm that will help with all the misc tidbits:

OK.... I think I have it NAILED

there are TWO wire grommets. one that looks like a flat blade screwdriver would fit in it: 0000 989 0812
one that looks like a rubber bushing: 1125 084 8900 (which I think I guessed correctly)
next is a "hand guard bushing" 1125 084 8900 ...this one DOES go in place of that metal "bell" piece on the flywheel side of the handguard... BUT I was missing 1124-792-5500 which is a brass piece...this confused me. ...this brass piece was not in the kit.
that little o-ring is extra and goes in the chain tensioner mechanism
AND that pesky odd looking one is 1125 647 7002 for the oiler...another extra

No the only difference is the small turned down piece at the end is smaller. Allowing the pump rod to move over more. I may grind the end smaller on the next one. It's offset

no pressure Davhul... but... a vid on that mod would be nice

 

[davhul]

The 660 I have now has the upgraded bolt. But I will definitely do it on my next one.

If it hits, you only need to clearance the inside edge of the skirt over the counterweights.

part 4

addendum is coming

Are you going to make a running and tuning vid? We like to see running vids. Our buddy in Russia has a good one in the field

If it's not hitting to bad I spun mine over with the rope and seen where it was hitting.

that what i thought as i was standing there thinking about it, a little file action and there you go..

 

[Johnnybar]

I'll grab a small part organizer and get the bolts/nuts opened up for a closer look. Pics to follow.

is it just me or some of huztl's prices going though the roof?
it seems like the case splitter is now $75 with free shipping and when i made my order it was $35 plus about $10 for shipping.
same thing with the mills.

 

[Antarctica]

Pretty sure that case splitter was $59 last week with free shipping...

Oh but how they have learned about capitalism , It seems they have limited time specials that they rotate though the inventory. prices overall are still 10-20% of OEM retail, I just paid $100+ for an oem 193 P&C , got P&C's for 180 and 192 from hertzl for less than $20+shipping. I'm willing to try it out beig sure to clean up all cylinder ports before assembly

They have flash sales daily with prices changing as the sales quota is met it appears. The splitter was $22+shipping on sale and the number of days on sale did not prove to be correct as the price went up after a day or two iirc. I bought their Holzforma 36" chainsaw mill for $59+s = ~$79 total and it jumped shortly after I bought mine to $129 delivered even though there was several days left on the original $59 sale. Lesson here is place your order quick and checkout when you find a super deal as it is guaranteed not to last.

 

[Johnnybar]

Perfect example: 660 short block is $57+shipping Case,crank,cyl,piston, some of the AV looks to be installed, plug, comp release, likely oil tube, crank bearings/seals, ...jump while the fire is hot!

Good to know. I thought about the mill $129, but now its $169.

So I have my kit completed. Saw started in 4 pulls. Need to tune it once I pick up a chain. I was able to pick up a 28 Rollomatic ES brand new in packaging from my local CL for $30. I do have one issue. When the saw is not running, the clutch drum can by spun by hand freely. I know you shouldn't make it a habit of running the saw without a load on it. However, once I have had it running, the clutch spins. When off, the clutch then shows some resistance when trying to turn by hand. It is not enough resistance to turn the clutch, and you can pull the started rope with the chain brake on. This may seat itself once there is a chain on it with tension. Might try a different clutch drum if there is no change. Any ideas? I will try to upload a finished picture. Al
