Haha

Oh wow so no damage to the saw ? I dont have that problem because all my stuff is cheap crap and the key is cast in to the fly wheel

no damage at all. I was scared tho till I realized metal flying at me and free spinning flywheel didn't mean engine failure lmao

 

[Hedgerow]

Did we forget to torque the flywheel nut?

Indeed..
Key is for positioning only, not to hold it in place.
Ethan, you got a piston stop?

 

[awol]

Throw the key away and put it together clean and dry with proper torque. I haven't sent a saw out in a very long time that still had a key!

Make sure it didn't take the coil out flopping around on there.
Use a cordless impact on the flywheel nut.
Just a quick rap, don't pour the coals to it.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

No I don't have a piston stop but I do have an impact or 3 lol

Head Matt's advice or you'll have the nut with the end of the crank in your hand.

Seen that before, same on clutch side as well! Hailey's 359 is that way.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I just hit it a couple times with my DeWalt xr brushless I probably should have used my less powerful Makita. Definitely wasn't gonna use my air impact

PM my your address, I will send you one....if you want.

It's hard for me to beat my dad's saws lol he had a 390xp ported to the max and now he has a 576xp done the same way. Bet my 660 won't even touch it. But you never know

You are right, it won't (touch the ported 390). We know. It probably won't touch the 576 with less than 32-36" bar either.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

His saws were both ported by Gary Hunt I have no doubt they will outrun my saw by several seconds a cut

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I lined it up with the old hole and I think retarded the timing a few degrees also. It runs great

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Probably still get a Stihl keyway and file it .020 just to be safe. Plus the Stihl dealer wants to see my saw

 

[Douglas Ostrander]

To cold for dog to go outside. But in the shop she will go. Better than in the house. Spoiled dog.

 

[jeepsnchainsaws]

Lmao I need to get that contact spring on top of the lever first! And put the chain brake and shrouds on

No way! Just saw til it runs out of juice!

TRUTH! In fact, I have yet to run a PORTED 066/660 that will come close to a good, ported 390.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Husqvarna is Husqvarna haha they're faster in my experience to. Stock especially

The 066 hseII had in TN was super strong. I think you ran it. How would it compare?

 

[awol]

That would be close, but in timed cuts with same bar and chain I think the 390 would take it pretty easy. Matts 064 is stronger than that 066, I think.
