I'm looking into buying a new 660. I just wanted to know how well they oil? I know the older 660 didn't oil all that well.
Thank's Andy.

Do you mean the 066 verses the MS660?
I don't find any problem with the oilers... It's not a gusher, but you don't need much oil anyhow. My bars don't burn, my chains don't get tight, my oil tank has about 1/8->1/4 tank left when the gas runs out, so I guess its enough...

My 660 doesn't put out enough oil, I can run 2+ tanks of fuel per tank of oil. Stihl recommends the HO oil pump 1122 640 3201 if the customer complains of low oil output on long bar applications. I just ordered the control bolt and pump piston, these are the only parts that differ between the 2 pumps.

I use my 066's and a 660 mostly for milling and have no trouble with oil output on any of them.... I keep it turned to max flow all the time... When the gas is about gone so is the oil. I don't use bars over 32", but they all get plenty of oil.

Just for everyones info, the -3201 is for the Australian market (but is available in the USA) and puts out about 25% more oil. I guess that Eucalyptus is a bit rough on the chains!

Andy- is the +25% figure based on the old 066 oiler that has 2 turns of adjustment on the control bolt or the current 660 oiler that has 90°? And yes, my oiler is cranked all the way up.
