If it makes you feel better, echo caps are still similar to that. They get condemned as cheap, sharp, and plastic.

Anti-climatic. No drama. Perfect.

I have seen the mounting strategies for the 1300 coil. Good idea.

On the original saw in question, it is an aluminum flywheel saw that originally had the dogleg coil. By the time I ended up with it, there was no external trigger. Would the 046 coil be a more likely candidate? Is the run-on symptom something that can indeed be coil related?

Yes, it is a short case. Quite different configuration than the 660's I have worked on. This saw is a real resurrection effort.

@Mastermind How did this story end?

Thank you for the solid responses. Good point. I have moved the L screw from 3/4 turns to past 3-turns trying to chase the lean bog. The run-on changed slightly, but was still present. The bog was slightly better at the 3/4 - 1 turn range, but I expect zero bog without a chain on the saw...

This is a recently finished Stihl 066. I’m having trouble tuning out the the run-on as the saw returns to idle and the off-idle bog. The saw is ported with machine work. Complete rebuild. Meteor piston. 461 coil. It will idle all day. It seems like it settles into that idle nicely, but...

This saw will do most cutting at 5k - 6k feet elevation. I’m trying to create a plan for compression and case compression. This is basically a salvage effort at this point. I might as well do the best I can.

Part numbers for the piston pin and crossover bearing.

It’s been a while. Here is an update. I touched up a bit of the port work and need to decide where to go from here I installed the Meteor 288 piston, using a 13mm pin and a crossover roller bearing (395xp, I believe) to match the 12mm crank. The pistons are quite a bit different. The 660...

I ordered a Meteor 288xp piston on Saturday night from HLSupply. I'll post back once the piston arrives.
