Huztl MS660

Here's a steady straight push result. It would be even smoother if I didn't let up on the light pressure I was giving it before dropping the rpm's a couple times. The chain is Archer TriLink White Box semi chisel reground to 10/50/-10.

That's the old widow maker tree I posted a few weeks back that had to be felled due to multiple lightening strikes over the last 30 yrs. It caused splits in the trunk that spalted over time. I agree that it made a beautiful result.

I was leaning away from getting a portable mill but you may have changed my mind!

One thing is for sure...you can't run to the lumber store and get anything like that...size or looks...no matter how much birthday money you saved up!

Looking good! Make sure to seat that plug cable in the slot to the right in the pic before the starter cover is mounted.

Yeah thanks. I got it wrapped nicely where it supposed to be now couple things I noticed compared to my buddy 660 doesn't have the cage underneath the air filter and I didn't get a MS 660 sticker lol. WTF

The wtf
Looks like the insert for the air cleaner from here. Was that included?

 

[Bedford T]

That was a wild guess. You don't show the bottom

 

[Wood Chopper]

No it's oem from my friends stihl MS 660. There is foam in this one that looks like it takes up the space of the OEM piece

I am almost positive I have the same leftover parts like the rest of you do I will compare a couple pictures again tonight. End it looks like I'm going to have to shave a little bit of the chain breaker bar to clear the top of the muffler

There are 3 or more different air filter setups depending on country of destination for OEM saws iirc. My kit filter had a coarse open cell foam insert inside the fiber pleated filter...no room for the baffle you showed in the pic. Here's an online parts manual:

Thanks Bedford. Guys I just fired this thing up and holy cow it popped on the three pulls then took about 10 more on partial choke. it won't idle right now but I can just barely feather the throttle to keep her going I can see why you guys are wanting the elasto start

I was short M4X12 spline screws for the clutch/brake cover and oil pump and a few M5X12's, heat foil x2, plug air boot, winter/summer slide, plus a few other odds and ends. Huztl is shipping them no charge. I went to Fastenal and got what I had to have to run the saw for $2 which included an extra set of those sizes. Fastenal is a lot cheaper than OEM.

I know I haven't posted that much but I want to say a big thank you to everyone that posted their findings and their knowledge. It's a great feeling to build something from nothing and they hear it run

I'm using the cross cylinder with no base gasket and I can tell it's got some really good compression but I'll put the compression tester on her tomorrow and I need to find or buy a tachometer
