LOL. Was wonderin' if you were gonna pop in with that. I saw one on an 041 somewhere, too. Think that'd be pushin' it a bit on the weight factor, tho.

Same RB kit is used from the 2xx's on up to the 320.

So where'd the spread sheet come from in the first place? And why not just cross ref those part#'s with any other HS up to the 290 to find the differences and proceed accordingly..., or get a Walbro and be done with it.

I never knew there could be so much drama associated with a 2-stroke carb -- a modern one at that.

I got the spreed sheet from Ireland..

Drama - thought that was associated with motor oil and trans fluid

Well a few weeks ago I could have "said" I have no idea on Walbro / Tillotson carb kits. Had no idea. But now I have been educated.

Next time I will raise 2 hands - not one. When I ask a question I will introduce my other

When is the last time you saw any chipper chain??

 

[sandmanxx]

Thanks anyone and everyone for their inputs / knowledge learned.. whenever and wherever in post...

As for me - thanks for not booting me at times

So what's your ultimate objective with the 320 anyway? (presumably from a MS660 or 066). Have you tried the suggestion of cross reffing the 2xx parts breakdowns with the 320 to determine any significant differences or parts that actually interchange? Have you contacted Tillotson directly for additional information?

Folks have offered suggestions that have evidently fallen short of your requirements/expectations given the fact that there hasn't been any follow up offered regarding the actual results obtained (if any).

Only tryin' to help, dude. If you'd rather just keep pissing up a rope and bein' a smart ass, maybe you'd be better off takin' it somewhere else "next time"?

On that chipper chain I have a partial roll of 1/2" and some of course on old loops .I'm not even certain if it's still made .

I don't believe it is... At least not in USA.. I love the stuff for South Texas..

Wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in South America or Asia one could find it..

even that 026 gets heavy after a while usin overhead. cuts finger sized chit, tho. lotta laurel here. like a weed, grows fast.
have echo pas 266 for lighter chit.
will pass on experiencing 041 version.

Anyone have any tips or tricks in taking the brass barb insert out without destroying the side of the carb.??

Having said that - does it come out easily ?? I sprayed b blaster a few times 24 hours ago..

Heat and twist.

Piston pin is about the same. Bearings look good on the saw. Saw passed pressure and vacuum as well.

Looks like you may be able to lose a little weight and also gain more flow with a bit of work on those windows.

Hi guys! Does anyone here know if the updated coil for the 661 will fit the 2014 661 or have they changed the carb so that needs changing it to suit. I'm trying to eliminate the dam of idle bog.

 

[nohoff]

You can use the new coil on old MS 661.
