My ms 440 kit arrived today. From what I looked at so far the quality is on par with the ms 660 kit.
It has a rim sprocket and not spur like shown on the Huztl website. It has a duel port muffler. The case feels solid. So far so good.
I don't know when I will get able to put it together.

Hey all, I'm new to forums in general and this is my first post. I've been reading through this for a few days now and really appreciate all the shared info, it's inspired me to get one of these 660 kits to tinker with myself. I was just curious about getting one ordered, has everyone that bought off the huztl website itself had good luck using paypal? And are there any issues with duty taxes or customs I should be aware of? I have never ordered from overseas before so I'm not up to date on how it works. In my head it seems that I should just be able to order it and have it show up to my door, but I just want to make sure. Thanks!
I used PayPal with no issues. No duty fees or customs broker charges.
Awesome, thank for the quick reply. I'm pretty excited to try and do this, I've enjoyed reading what everyone else has been posting on here and decided I just had to try it for myself.
Looks good I checked through the huztl website before they offered the 440 as a kit and the only part they didn't have was the carburetor flange. Is there one included in your kit?
I bought a couple from my local stihl dealer for future builds!

Finally got around to getting this thing finished up and have to say I'm very happy with it. Don't know if I could have done it without this forum, so thank you everyone! Overall the parts are pretty good, some are obviously Chinese but for the most part usable stuff. I must have got lucky because my chain adjuster fit tight and seems to work fine. The only thing missing were 2 5mm nuts. I do have a small black screw leftover I have to figure out where it goes! Got it to fire up on the 3rd pull and it stayed idling after with no issues. Kill it and it starts right up on one pull. I do have some tuning to do, if I pull the throttle slowly it wants to bog, pull it quick and it takes right off.
To fix the chain brake I had to file back the plastic piece circled because it was making contact too soon. I also shaved off the bump above the muffler just in case but it looks like I may not have needed to.

I ran into the same issue on my chain brake. I am going to drill a cross hole and press in a dowel pin just below where the link goes thru the slot. That slot is too wide and doesn't need that much travel. Several ways to deal with it.
HoosierS, from the time I placed my order until the saw arrived at my door was 10 days. That was during Christmas, so pretty quick.

I ordered on the 27th. That is the quickest I have received anything from them.
I just finished putting case together. I really like what I see so far.
It did come with four m5x25mm bolts that I can't identify on the ipl. The case takes five m5x20mm and I think the cylinder takes four m5x20mm.
Any ideas what the m5x25mm are for?

Stihl changed MS440 cylinder bolts to M5x25 in 2004.
From what I have noticed over the past several months is this. If you place your order and there is no Chinese holiday that interferes with your order your fine. Like mine and a few others our order fell on one of their many week long holidays. I would plan around that for shipping also.
Thanks. I guess the French ipl I was looking at is dated.
Now I'm waiting for my Huztl 52mm cylinder.
I just pulled the trigger and got mine ordered. So the next few days I'll be spending my spare time rereading all of this post and taking notes, as well as watching all the youtube videos some of these folks have put on there again. Pretty excited to try and build a chainsaw from a kit, sure hope I can get it running! Luckily it's just for a hobby as I have enough saws already for what I need. Just wanted something bigger to play with, maybe mill a few logs I have down. Hopefully the kit arrives complete.
Maybe start a separate thread, and link it to this one, to keep the threads model specific?
