Well, you could buy it and paint it orange. It could be the first PM Stihl 610, then sell it on the bay to some unsuspecting person who thinks it's a super rare Stihl. I have got way too much time to dream this stuff up haha
Got a yellow pm605, and an Orange ECHO. Just bought an Orange Husqvarna click it trimmer power head with a trimmer attachment. Want the pole saw attachment next. Got to figure out how to sneak it to the house.

Not a Sthil saw man, just the blower. Brother has Sthil everything. He just don't like the blowers, he likes Red Max.

Think you got to the pole saw nice and dirty then say someone gave it to you cause it don't work. Or, probably easier, just drum up enough work to where you can justify it to your better half. I got one of those pole saws for the trimmer a while ago too, haven't got to use it yet though. I'm still trying to figure out how that purchase got through the accountant, and more importantly how I can use that loophole next time.

Whoa whoa whoa...accountant? Is this slang for significant other? Wife? Parent? Dog?

Yes it's slang! I would have a much larger problem with saws if I was my own accountant. Heck, I'd be broke, but I'd be running a 661 as a liming saw
, have a snowmobile, vehicle, ect... Yes, one of my parent's is the accountant for the time being. That's why it's a heck of a lot easier to pitch parts for free projects, and super hard to buy new projects.

@happysaws how in the world to you get the carburetor out of one of those Super 660's? I readjusted the metering lever and put a new kit in it but I still have a severe flooding issue so I want to replace the needle and seat, but can't because I can't access everything with it still attached.
Cant get it dirty and leave it, got to clean it after im done using it, now on the other hand. I could bring my dads over an use it for awhile and sneak the new one in and saw I cleaned up his. Now that might work. She's done seen his chainsaw caked in wood and grease that used to be bar oil. Any time I work on his saw it gets a bath first so I can find the screws and nuts. Can't stand dirty equipment.

I really need to get me an air compressor, my shop vac just isn't as effective.
That's like trying to blow out the air filter with your mouth, just don't cut it. Mild spray cleaner helps too.

With this,
It's a thin 7/16" ignition wrench. Even still, you really have to work to get it in there.
Once you get the nuts loose with the wrench, you may need to tap on the edge of the nut with a flathead screwdriver to turn it. Sometimes the ignition wrench just won't turn the nut far enough in that little space...
Remove the fuel line, but don't cut it, as there may be a long spring in it to keep it from collapsing. If the fuel line is stiff, you may have to remove the carb plate to pull the fuel line off. I did not remove the fuel line in this pic for sake of time:
If your carb is orientated like this one, you shouldn't have to remove it to replace the inlet lever/needle/seat... Use a thin-wall socket to remove the seat. Can't remember the size off the top of my head.
I have a big Remy that also has a major flooding problem... It can sit for 2 months, and it will start on the first pull w/ no choke... Runs like an absolute tank. But, if I shut it off and try to restart it immediately, gas pours out of the muffler.
Project for another day.

Sounds exactly like my problem. And it is oriented just like that one but I can't get the inlet lever rod out because it won't clear the intake body.With this,

Oh ya I forgot about that. You will have to take the carb off to remove the inlet lever rod out, as it screws in from the side of the carb that mounts to the saw. Oops.
Plan on getting a 90° 7/16" ignition wrench, only way I know of to get a carb off of the big Bantam style Remy's...

Where can I get one? Seems like a specialty tool, would any place stock one?
Sears, they always throw those in a big tool set and they know you want never need them, just like the give you 50 screw driver bits in a 150 piece tool set.

Alright, I'll swing by Sears tomorrow and see if I can't find a small set.

I had to buy a whole set of 8, got them at Ace... Most hardware stores should have them. I don't know if anybody sells just one, you'll probably have to buy a complete set...
