Although with the correct pain killers, you may be able to get it to move up and down

Or lean factory tune. Said he was bucking 4 to 5 ft hardwood when it went

Just did a 461 that burned up from a "lean factory tune" the dealer told customer that it just overheated and wasn't worth fixing.

The 661 is a great saw but if you can find a old 066/660 you can send it to me and I'll make you a saw for 5' wood.

Lol, I can't remember if I saw one on CL earlier when I was trolling for other saws in a box

A lot of people don't believe the epa has a hold on oem's. The dealer should remove, center, and replace the limiter tabs if it's even possible. And show them how to tune a saw without a tach

 

[jmssaws]

I don't know if I've ever built a saw that wouldn't tune with the limiters on but I trim them anyway.

I don't think my dealer is likely to do anything to challenge EPA regs. This after asking him about Stihl OEM mufflers made specifically for my 661 but........ from a different country, and how that would affect warranty.

His answer made me decide to put the original back on before ever taking it in for anything.

Should be close to 1 and 1 or something is wrong.

I do have a old wj6 I think that tunes 3 turns out on the low but I drilled on it and fixed that

We were talking about this in a thread a couple days ago...about how you can tune a saw properly, and go make some long cuts, and due to added heat, the saw is lean again. If you're gonna make long uninterrupted cuts, ya gotta have enough fuel. And limiter tabs keep this from happening

I've heard of fines for removing limiter caps from dealors but I don't know if that's true

Beat me to it!

Most I've seen wouldn't allow enough extra fuel for a muffler mod. Particularly the 029 039.....

 

[jmssaws]

I always say if your saw isn't cold natured it's to fat. But if it's extremely cold natured it's probably lean.

I meant to say a 660. I've never messed much with a 290 or 390.
I do have a new set of plastic for one if someone needs it.

Interesting, just heard from the guy about the 261,

I had asked: (sort of to see what he would say in response)

""I am interested, but have to admit I am curious about why you are selling the saw. What size is the bar, chain, and sprocket?""


Seller reply was:

""The bar is a 20" chain, sprocket a .325 i believe not sure not in front of saw. Im selling the saw because i have no need for it. Won it at work as a raffle and really wont need it at my house. ""

The 660 in Perryville is 20 miles from my house. I don't need a 660 for sure as I have many many but it's a clean saw.

500 would be a good price.

What do I need a 660 for? I have a 661..... and remember the title of the thread, I don't (YET!?!!) know how to tune a saw, and the 661 is M-tronic

The 261 however, is what I have been contemplating for about 2-3 weeks now.

 

[jmssaws]

I don't recon you do.
I simply stated 500 is a good price.
