Dang that's rough. And it probably cost them $2 to make. I need a new chain brake handle for the 660 but I haven't dared price it out yet
Ok now, I'm not complaining as much about what I had to pay for an air filter after hearing other prices. I would seriously consider using huztl parts for your chain brake. All of the parts for that on mine have been well made, would buy those parts again.

It has crossed my mind...I'm big on OE stuff but man I don't like paying as much in parts as I pay for a saw lol. It's used and it's been well used but still a great runner. The handle still works it's just cracked at the top so maybe a minor fix for now. Want to make some mods too suck as the dual port cover. I'll do that as OE part. We will see how I go with it
 
I dont care for the knock off parts so much, i had an 038 with knock rear handle fuel tank assembly it leaked from new and the airfilter had a hole in it. Also thats the filter with the choke flap, it didnt work so i could never get it started. Bought and oem filter and bam running saw

Yeh story of my life. Try and save a dollar and end up spending twice as much. Get what you pay for is my motto. I always consider it but then remember I get screwed in the end

I saw where someone has a tecomec 038 air filter for $10 on eBay. I wonder if it's any good.

we need one of you handy folks to start making filters :) cant be too hard right?
filters, and files, and axes, and...the list is endless.
As for the air filters, I'm thinking of a cnc machined aluminium frame and 100% merino wool for the filter element. Only the finest products for the finest saws. lol End up spending more on the custom filter than you did on the entire saw.
 
Dude I am at my wits end with these two saws, I swapped the carburators and now I can get either of them started much less run right, like I just want to pull the carburetor of at shoot them with buckshot...

Just give them to me when we make our deal :) oh wait that's not the solution you wanted huh?
 
I'm thinking hard about it right now, I don't understand how my luck can be so bad. Almost every saw I have, has problems that stump even experienced people. My luck is rotten...

Did you swap back yet? Is there anything else missing or wrong with the carb? Inspect that sucker hard.
 
I think i have a couple carbs here, i can put kits in them and send them to you. Get me the numbers off of them i know i got one for sure
