Very sweet saw, just needs a little TLC (not much).
This saw was lean seized when I got it. Saw was pressure tested, and tested good. Main bearings feel good with no movement. I found an early non decomp cylinder and piston in good shape and installed (piston has slightest rub on exhaust side, but so little that hone marks are still visible, very nice piston!).
Saw also has a nice looking dual port (mig welded thin wall 1" pipe). Almost all new OEM AV buffers, very nice 8T spur sprocket. Plastics are decent, couple of cracks, chip in the filter cover. Very nice poly flywheel with good coil (timing advanced, no key). SUPER nice 660 recoil cover, almost like new. Very nice tank. No guide plates. Case is nice, upper spike mount broke out, filled with flex-steel and filed (looks as if no mount hole was there, nice looking fix, bottom mount needs tapped and upper needs relocated (if you want to use a bucking spike on the inner). Handlebar has small crack on right side, usable but should be fixed.
I could nit pick this saw, but it is a decent looker and all there and has a ton of potential. Saw starts and runs, but is lean and will need found before you attempt to use it. There is a leak somewhere, maybe I missed a hole in the impulse or intake boot. Clutch cover has a small crack, but still very usable and decent looking.
I don't see how anyone could go wrong for the price. The right parts are there, you just need to spend the time to find the leak. Bearings are good, this is a fine looking saw, it just needs some of your time. $399 plus ship, and I think that is a great deal. All the critical stuff is there, you shouldn't have much in getting it ironed out, heck it may be a free fix for all I know. I have been spending saw money faster than saws are making me money and need to send this down the road. I think this deal is as good as the $325 372 I sold. If it doesn't sell real quick, I will find the leak and have no problem running the tar out of it and making some cash on it in a couple months. This should be a good deal for someone looking for a saw that would stomp a 660 in the ground. Continental US via UPS only.
