Gonna take a long time to go through it, should be able to help some guys out. I’m pretty ignorant but some good new 064,066 I think mufflers and some other odds and ends

 

[RI Chevy]

If you come across a good 066 clutch setup hit me up please.

I see a 372/390 wide discharge cover, new those puppies are $80-$125 by themselves but you can get plain grey ones in the 572 wrap kit. I was hunting for one of those for a few months before I found a decent used one. Classified rules are simple, if you have 100 posts you can post there, be honest, show a few pics of the part, and let the buyer know when you think you’ll be able to ship the stuff. If you don’t know what it is, post up a p/n and a few pics and one of us will try to id it.

 

[Int1968]

If anyone’s an early 009 to 012 fan send me a message, cost of shipping will be sufficient. Remember I’m in maple syrup land.

If mods want to move to classifieds that’s fine. It’s more of a freebie.

What type of piston rings goes in 070, just a regular cast iron or some special kind considering chrome plating?

 

[67L36Driver]

Real head scratcher:

I’ve had this MS311 for about two years now.

I’ve been chasing a idle speed problem since I got it back together. Won’t hold a steady speed from one cut to the next. Keeps increasing. Which gives an impression it’s got a vacuum leak.

Close inspection revealed the idle speed screw has been turning itself IN (!). [emoji90]

Most screws vibrate themselves out! WTF !

Reset the idle and use the end of a popsicle stick and a dollop of 3M weatherstrip adhesive to lock it in place.

Any 066 ignition coils in there by chance?

Sorry no coils, was an estate garage sale. Will be a few more weekends for them to get rid of everything. Apparently the gentleman who passed bought out a saw shop from out west idk. Haven’t seen everything yet but story kinda fits when you see west coast stuff like some new filson clothing and the odd pair of whites boots.

I was seriously thinking about buying a new Stihl saw and just ditching my MS-660 FarmerTec clone because now it appears it has carb problems and the carb I was thinking about is sold out on HLS. I think the adjustment screws move by themselves even with the rubber insert installed.

So, reading the negative reviews of the Stihl pro saws I come across this negative 1 star review

"462 is the biggest joke that stihl has ever made. Bought one in august 2020 it lasted for 9 months. Locked up, took it back and Sean at stihl told me that the saw was not made to be used to make money with that it had 3000 hrs on it and been started 2700 times, and warranty will not pay for it to be fixed. "

So,Stihl has gone full blown creepy big brother with a black boxed saw? I wonder how long before it uses DRM to spy on you (John Deere), deny access to the saw, or check to see if you used OEM air filters or carbs or if you used it on it's side for too long for a chainsaw mill. Though I liked my Husky 385 a lot, I did not buy any 5## Husqvarna saws that require a dealer to reprogram the saw when you do something as simple as change the carb.

I regret getting rid of my 066 (my favorite chainsaw) because at the time I was not confident to rebuild it though I was a certified truck mechanic, I figured apples to oranges on that one. Though the 372 and 385 Husky were good replacement saws.

So, I guess any 4## saw from Stihl is out of the question along with the 500i?

Is this saw truly creepy spy software free?

"This chainsaw features a simple, proven and non-electronic design."

No 1 or 2 star reviews, so, that is a plus. Though at this point I am tempted just to find another carb and just suffer with the unreliable inferior clones.

I guess from reading the threads Stihl owns Zima and the stock jet is

"064/066/MS650/MS660 = 1122 120 0621 with .64 jet"

Is there a Zima or Walbro carb you would recommend or is the FarmerTec H20660 really worth spending the $32 on? I am pretty sure that is what is on the saw now.

Thanks, I knew some of the coils are compatible with each other, but not what ones specifically. I probably would have ended up looking in my parts list to find what models and gen's will work. It wasn't a limited coil was it?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

There are quite a few variables between the case halves and flywheels among the 1122 series determining which coil(s) will work on a given saw. Best to figure out what you actually have in order to figure out what you actually need.

Is oil pump taken? Could use that and will take a while for me to look up other part #s

These might help you out what works

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

The key there is determining whether the universal 1300 coil will work for your particular situation since they're the easiest and cheapest to locate -- and repops are everywhere and have been reported to be fairly reliable. I've used a couple on smaller saws with no problems.

Once you figure out the flow of those tech notes, you'll see where the 1300 fits in.
