661 went boom

Hey spencerpaving did you ever get ahold of Matt Marks' hotsaw?

Haven't heard from him all winter

 

[spencerpaving]

At first I was worried about it only running for a little over a year...but I guess some people actually use saws everyday and all day long....who woulda thought?

I'm sure he wasn't placing blame. Both parties involved sound reasonable.

I liked the way CR500 run with the shorter bars. It didn't sound as rich as the 4701.

7 or 8 cuts and they'd probably sound close to the same, at least that's what I was thinking after using the 4701 for a while, although my "short bar" is a 25"

20" and 8 or 9 pin @15k for racing is what I want to see.

The problem is from switchin from a short bar or light load to a long bar or heavy load. It takes the mtronic too long to catch up and smokes the piston

I just leave the 36" on mine haven't put a smaller bar on after reading that I don't think I will is this even after the 60 second recalibration

How do we know the new coil makes it run richer? just wondering if stihl has stated that...

It was created to address the off idle bog issue which was due to the low side being lean.

There's no doubt one at 14500 would be mighty sporty.

The new coil I put on mine definitely makes it run richer has a little more top end as well

That's a nice rpm wouldn't go pushing my luck with any more though

You can hear some of them 4 stroke hard as soon as pressure is let up in videos. The rpm on them doesn't seem to be that bad. Seen 16k on 066s before.

What's a new 4701 coil go for?

I just called Stihl Tech Support today - They said if you have 4700c or 4700d it will be fully warrant-able - ie. 4701A = free replacement.

4700E they say is good and not warrant-able. But I've never seen anyone that had an "E".

The one I have here has a 4700 on it and runs great.

Did they say what the warranty process was?
