What Does This Fit?

[Mastermind]

Was supplied as a cylinder from an MS661....

On the left is a 661 jug. Mystery jug on right.

It will bolt on a 661, and is a 56mm bore BTW.

Seeing as they are both 1144's it has to be a 661 cylinder.
I'm thinking much like the open port MS361 replacement cylinders.

Interesting - Last time I saw open transfers on a saw that large was an old Homelite from the 60's.

I believe that is the deal Mark Adam.

Glad you posted this. I have rebuilt three Stihl 661's but never replaced the cylinder or piston -- just about everything else. All the 661 parts cost an arm and a leg from the dealer. That's what produces stuff like this. The 661 has a slightly larger bore than a 660 (same as a 660 big-bore P/C kit) but a smaller stroke so that 660 engine parts will not work on a 661.

I’m guessing it’s like the MS341 vs 361. For the life of me, I don’t understand why they would have those open port cylinders.

I did an open vs closed port MS361 build and the open one was a turd, it limits where the uppers can be placed vs the closed port. And they supplied a late model 361 with the 341 open ports from the factory.

I'm not sure I'm following this ?

AGreed. I'm glad you guys are so talented. And watchful. Otherwise I can imagine the saws we would end up with. Be like the Johnny cash song one piece at a time.

@Mastermind is this then a mis-packaged part, bad part number supercession or just a who knows mix up?
