So this is an update from stihl for the 661 like the intake tube?
What the *f-word?!! How does that happen?Here's something I see on every 661 I tear down.......even in the brand new ones.

Well, that seems simple enough.I remember a big screwed up thread over on AS about a guy that had a MS661 that was bogging.
Here's the fix.......
Old coil.

Take that off and install this new coil.

Yes.......it's that simple.
If you have a decent dealer it won't cost you a penny.......
Randy which intake is better (solid vs bellowed)? What's the consensus about the washers?
Once removed, the intake would collapse under vacuum. A crude solution from stihl to a problem dicovered post production, but like they do always they updated the part and solved the issue. I don't have a 661 & was not in any rush to be the first as I have a good MM660, despite everyone believing the new 661 was going to be the holy grail saw & save the earth from everything all new ope models have little design faults that get fixed down the road. What is good about stihl is they constantly evolve and update their products.Use the solid intake. The washers were used to give the bellowed intake more strength.
