SELLING Simmonized Ported Stihl 661 R C-M Arctic

[maulhead]

$1,050 shipped & insured in the lower 48 states. PayPal friends & family, or cover the fees if paying with goods & services.

I'm not interested in any trades.

Starts, runs, idles, oils, brake works, heat works. Piston looks great. Saw runs excellent. Air filter cover is cracked. It has a 2nd port added on the muffler.

Saw is rather dirty under the covers. I cleaned it up some for the pictures, it could stand a more thorough deeper cleaning. Date of manufacture is not legible anymore on the silver sticker, on the rear handle. I'm not sure how much time is on this saw, but the inspection stamp is still present on the PTO side of the crankcase. The plastic roller is missing off the roller chain catcher, I may have one? If so it will be included with the saw.

Been wanting a 661. Not familiar with that porter. Can anyone shed light without starting drama? Pm me maybe. Thanks.

All I know about Simonized, is what's written in these two threads I'm linking below.

Maybe one of the long time members can chime in and add more info.

Cool.

I have another 661 here to fix. Want to run it and then it would be interesting to run them against each other.

Simon was a Canadian bike builder/racer who got into saws later (He showed some pictures from his racing days with the Suzuki factory team). He built a lot of saws for BC-based fallers and had some interesting recipes. He sent out a few saws to forum members for evaluation - some were rated great and a couple were rated as average. If I had a need for a 90cc rig, I'd pick this one up knowing that it's a unique saw now.
