660 boot support ring

[Ronie]

Is there any problem with leaving out the support ring, the one on my clone saw looks restrictive?

I’d leave it in. The boot would most likely deform when the carb bolts are tightened down and cause a airleak.

Ok, thanks.

Ok, thanks.

Should be fairly easy to shape with a small ball peen or trim with a dremel.

Check the size against OEM.
Do not leave it out.
