Nice little herd, there. I like the variety.

I've got an 020 AV top handle too .I had it down a few years ago for seals and now I need to rebuild the carb .These are almost as bad as a Mini Mac to work on ,damned slotted screws ,can't get on them straight .This time it's going back together with torx heads .Should have done that the last time .

I actually don’t despise working on them because I’ve had enough apart and it’s gotten easier since the first few. Now I have a strong dislike for working on an 019t/191t myself.

Piece o' cake once you figure out the correct way to reinstall the throttle cable. Have an 020AV top handle here in pieces that I've been avoiding, tho. Came apart easy enough. LOL

Do you have an Ipl or the repair manual? If not I can send you pictures of the break downs for the 020 av/avp

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

'Preciate the offer, but I'm covered on both the IPL and repair manual. Thanks.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

I do also have the 019T IPL and shop manual if you'd happen to need them.

What I can say about the 020 AV is it weighs just about the same as a Poulan S25 DA and cuts about the same .They both came from about the same period of time .

Thanks for the offer I got the 019/191t ipl’s and repair manuals also in the pile of stuff I bought last summer.

Quick question about an older model 066 magnum. What’s best carb setting at about 600 feet above sea level which is where I’m at. I got the old manual as a pdf and it says one full turn on both low and high. Max rpm at 12,000. Idle at 2700.
Then I look at my actual saw and it says only 1/4 turn on both L and H. I still have the original cover on it.... I have also read that max rpm can be set to about 13700.

I’m currently Idling at 2300 and full throttle open at 14600. So I definitely need to adjust it before I start using it.

Advice from the experts please?

Get rid of the limiter tabs. Most 064/660 I’ve ran like to be set at 13.5 ish for a work tune. I highly doubt your stock 066 is still fourstroking safely at over 14k. My modded 064 will 4 stroke at 14k but that’s about the edge.

I’ll check it again but something definitely seemed off as I also smelled something like burnt oil in the air after running it for a few minutes. I just put a new meteor piston in it so don’t want to screw anything up.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

If it's turning 14.6, I highly doubt it still has the limiters on it!

I'd richen it up quite a bit on the high for a new top end and go from there. 13 ~ 13.5 is what I'd shoot for as well.

This is the last 2 Stihls I got, The 362 runs like a raped ape and the 390 with the cross popup Will out cut it in big wood
I got the wrap handle and west coast cover at a Stihl lol

Presets are most always 1 and 1...
Then adjust up or down from there.

I picked up a couple swamp donkeys this weekend. Both Stihl and one a 361. Seller wasn’t sure about this one, but thought it an 046.
Measures 52 mm.
Can some one interpret this for me?

 

[dmb2613]

I can with a pic of the saw

If you need something else, let me know.
Thank you for trying!

1122 gives it away.
If its 52mm its an 064
If its 54mm its an 066/660
Nice grab
