MS661 AV help

[Jimmy in NC]

Have a customer that is looking to firm up their 661's A/V. I know that has been an issue before but I have not kept up with the forum or these saws very closely. Are there firm springs or options to add some rigidity to this AV system?

I have them in a lot of saws, there's not a lot to say about them. If you want a stiffer/firmer feeling saw - that's what these kits do.

IMO this 661 kit from WCS is incomplete. They need to throw in the buffer that sits behind the coil. That piece is in the 462 kit.

So, last time I did 2 661s at the same time I ordered the 2 kits and also a kit for a 462 since it has the 2 buffers in it that fit behind the coil.

Also, these kits aren't exclusive to the saws they are listed for - example : that 661 kit also works in a 261 as well...if you like a firm feeling 50cc saw.

Thank you so much! Am doing 2 saws so I will order the 462 kit as well. Exactly the type of info I needed.


Thanks to all that have helped.

It'll be self explanatory when you get the kits. Idk why they don't add that other piece in the 661 kit.

I would call them. They are great at responding.
