Yep. I just pulled mine off and put some shrink tube on a couple thin spots. It will unscrew.

Couple of questions:

Are all newer MS 660s limited coil?

Since I don't personally own any limited coil saws, can anyone provide some advice on how to properly tune one???

Thanks. I don't want to be pig rich, but also definitely don't want to go to lean.

660 is unlimited. 064 and red light were the only limited ones.

You mentioned the 064 had a limited coil. I don't know a lot about the 064's but I recently got one. I know they had about 3 or 4 coils for that model and different flywheel configurations. Do you know which coil to look for that's unlimited? I plan on pulling it off the wall and tune in some wood when its not 95°. It Has a 660 top end and I did some light porting on it, lowered the squish, and advanced the timing so far. Here's a few pics. I do have a short story behind the saw I can share.

Got an Arctic cat 366 on my bench with a bad stator ma gator. Called the customer and should have a new one on the way if approved. Still cheaper than a new bike...

My granddad bought this saw new in 88'or 89' And it had a bow on it at the time. I remember going to the woods with him on his 2010 John Deere to get firewood. After He cut the tree down he would let me chop limbs with a hatchet while he cut it up. All with the bow and now I see how dangerous that was. Not long after that he was taking a pine down in his yard and had a heart attack before he was able to finish. I never thought much of it til I seen it in my uncles barn last year. It had a scored piston and cly and missing the metal name plate. So I wanted to fix it up and get it going. I want it to look stock but with some extra power. I had to put not for sale but still get offers almost every week. One guy said you won't take a $1000 for it. I said nope can't do it. Almost everything is how it was except for the paint, P&C, and recoil far as I can tell. I have the other recoil but the tag was rubbed bad. The carb is still the same. I rebuilt it and resealed the Welch plugs. I'll use it some to keep it going but it's not going to be my main wood cutter. I want to do more porting on it in a couple months when I have time.

I have a friend that goes to the tip and gets old mowers to fix up.
He turned up today with these that he got for nothing.

He said I could have the blower which just needs a spark plug boot and a carb kit, and wants me to rebuild the 029.
I tell a lie, he paid $20 for the 029 which is dirty but still has the original bar with plenty of paint on it.

Plan to strip it right down and make it a solid little runner again

Taken from Dave's fantastic 064/066/660 info tread in the technical area:

1122 400 1201A – 064 for use with Bosch ignition, unlimited coils

I picked one of these off ebay and paired it up with a Chinese unlimited 066/660 coil on my rat rod 064 and it goes like stink.

Bolt on, pull cord, vroom vroom

Thanks, I need to go read that thread

FYI, the carb on the 029 is the same as for an 044 or 046, and that alone makes the saw worth the price. I converted one with a burnt piston to an 039 with Chinese top end. They are not my favorite saw to work on!
