Holzfforma G660 92cc chainsaw. What has gone bad after 6 months of use. 

I like your ownership of mistakes. Not many people do that

Buddy that carb. mount binding fix is solid gold. Good looking out for others man. well done.

Thanks for the great video. The tip for fixing the carburetor binding problem is worth the time to watch this.

I bought a G372 and the little Joncutter puppy. The 372 has 50+ tanks through it and it hasn't given me many issues aside from hard starting during break in, the compression release doesn't help so I've learned it's better to start without it.. The muffler bolts like to rattle loose, so they need high temp Loctite. The muffler came wide open, not restricted, and it even had a little pipe coming off of it. It's wearing a 28" bar and has plenty of power in two foot Ponderosa Pine. The Joncutter has easily 100 tanks through it, as I'm a Chainsaw Carver and it has run like a top. I really like the little guy. I also want to say that the Chinese chain is phenomenal, I just don't know how it holds an edge like it does. Frankly, I wasn't expecting these results, I was afraid the saws would blow up,in no time, but so far so good, even running standard 91 Octane, which in California has ethanol.

Looks like a good back up saw. I've had an STIHL MS291 for 3 years and have done absolutely nothing other than change the chain. I even use ethanol fuel and it cranks up every time. Let it sit up for almost a year and it still fired up. Good Video!

All stihls factory have nuts on the outside of the Dawgs

Great review. I just placed my order last week. Great work brother. ☀️❤️‍🔥🦾 keep them videos coming .!!!

Nice video. Have about 25-30 tanks through the 660. Think I'm going to go over all the bolts as a safety check. 10-12 of the tanks were milling hickory and maple logs. So far so good. Recoil start is a little sloppy, and once in a while she seems to flood on first start. Almost think fuel is getting into carb when on its side filling it up. Again good presentation well done!

Honest review I like it

I use cheapest bar oil and cheap 2 stroke oil too Never have a issues with oilers Sounds like you need to source a OEM oil pump

Run these commercially for years. Ours have had zero issues

I'm just going to give you a suggestion as a chainsaw mechanic you can replace that I pump with the stihl MS 660 oil pump and your problem will be solve it's not the oil is the problem those oil pump give problem after a a Time just replace it with the OEM oil pump

Nice job Brandon. I bought mine back in NOV. I keep swapping parts out on it. At some point in time I might have been better off buying a Stihl 660. I have a 99cc big bore kit I am putting in tomorrow night. Keep up the good work.

I got a new G070 and they recommend 25:1 mix, which I’ve been doing so far, and it’s definitely not a smoke machine, yet. I plan on switching to 50:1 once I’ve run 10 tanks through it and I’m sure it’s broken in.

liked and subscribed brother! Love seeing a guy just like me on here! LOL love it man, keep making videos

Thanks for the video. I have the same issues but have not addressed them you so now I know how to address. I did buy a new carb but just sitting on the shelf for now because I can still start china somedays:)🤪

Good video!

I've had mine for 1 and a half now I've seen no problems with it carb adjustment and muffler mod and but forester 36inch 3/8 .063 bar and chain on starts on one pull and works like a dream but I'll be soon getting the Husqie 395 xp so little heart break but the 395 has been my really dream saw but I do have a echo cs 590 with a 36inch not recommended but muffler mod and carb adjustment and 3/8 .063 works heavenly on day to day stuff that I need so I don't break out my commercials saws

An honest vijayo. Warms my old heart. Suggestion. My newest saw, circa 1990's, drinks 70-1 amsoil ethanol free as does all the others in the fleet. Cut starting & running problems in half. Mechanical another story. You will find that less oil makes for longer life. Counterintuitive, but with me, true. 2 cents worth. Thanks

Good review, great comments and answers. Thanks

Nice job.

Advice for next time carb has to be removed: separate the handle exposing the triggerlock assembly and the rod is easier to remove instead of tweaking it from the other side. Just suggesting due to helps save the jet grommet too.

Very informative video appreciate it

I bought a Holzfforma G660 a couple months ago. Cut a couple cords of firewood with it and was on about my 7th tank of fuel. Still running a rich break in mix. Saw ran great right out of the box and I was liking it. Then it suddenly seized last week. I was curious and took it apart myself. The piston pin retaining clip broke and came out trashing the top end . The advertisement said 1 year warranty so I e-mailed Hutzl/Farmertec. I took the saw apart so I assume that kinda messes up the warranty? So far in corresponding and sending pictures to a representative from Hutzl/Farmertec, they told me they'd send me a new cylinder kit so I can repair it myself. A new cylinder kit and they'd also give me 300 points credit on my next purchase. Come to find out 300 points is only $3.00 US, and the cylinder kit only costs $23 on their website. A credit point of their's is only .01 cent. So $27.00 is what they give me and I spend 4 hours time with all the bullcrap this thing is pitting me through?Pretty shoddy if you ask me. I doubt there will be any more purchases from them. I'm still in negotiation with them, but my new cylinder kit still hasn't been sent. I should have just put the saw back together and requested a full refund and return. If they can't even temper a circlip right and it snaps in use, what other kind of pig iron is this thing made of? Think twice before wasting your money on this chinese crap.

Good first video !

For a new channel you are very wise to use a tripod for you video. GREAT VIDEO Good luck. For fuel I use 100LL aviation fuel from the local airport. It has no ethanol.

Good video. I have used the G660 for board splitting. 30 liter gas so far I guess. I like it. I have used 3% oil on it. Its heavy work with the splitting. I have leaned it out for more speed.. Its dangerous and must be done with care. That allso dratically reduces lubrication and increases heat.. I just got the muffler gasket issue, Repaired it with exhaust gum. The exhaust came loose. That seem like a common problem? I guess my increased rpm might have caused more vibrations, I might reduse RPM again. The specs says 13500rpm, but I doubt thats wise? I will adjust with a thaco next time to find out. So far the piston and cylinder looks good. I have a fix in mind for the exhaust if this problem persist. I think about long bolts in tubes inside the muffler. That can allow some stretch to the bolts. I made a cut inside the muffler, but doubt that mod. I guess people belive in it because it makes the engine a bit leaner? And a bit louder? Its better to adjust on the carb if you want more performance. I run cheap food oil with 10-20% mineral in it and max setting on the chain oil pump. Sword and chain looks fine. I have the 24 alaskan mill from hutzel. It work great. I have a 25 inch bar. Standard angle chain. It was very easy to change the angles on the standard chain. The hutzel looks like very good value for money. But you should have an ear for the engine sound, and know what you are doing. Best regards Halvor from Norway.

Thanks for the review mate!

The nuts on my stihl vibrate off as well. This is common.

I'm guessing for half the price you're going to have to do a few things to it that you might not have to do with a Stihl

Nice job

Great video! Thanks for posting

Out of the box, how did you break this saw in before cutting with it? Just got mine and want some guidance. Appreciate your video. Thanks

Great video. Thank you! Thumbs up!

Thanks for the info, I just bought the Saul in kit form and I am aware of the carburetor sticking issue. Just a suggestion for cinematography, I would take a look at tractor check channel and pattern your videos after him. It would be better to have a Tighter shot of the saw/carburetor than an overall shot of your shop, which looks like everyone else’s. Also it’s very apparent you were staring into a monitor which is a little distracting. Thanks again.

Hey my friend,that saw us modeled after a still 660.you unscrew the little screw on the bottom side in the rear of the handle and you take the throttle linkage off before the carb can come off.you shouldn't pry the linkage off my friend trust me .make another video after it has been in service for a while ,I would like to see how she holds up.

The "newest" saw I own is 30 years old. All the modern stuff is crap!

Hi mate i had one for 2years now an problem i have is chain tensioner 😫😫

Yeah if you use a tackier bar oil it won't spew out as much

Sounds like you got a good one,, chinese stuff like are hit or miss ,

So , what did you do to stop the oil slobber when off?

My medium weight climber saw is a stihl ms250....way more ass waaay more that my wifes 50cc rancher and that's 45cv vs 50...and any other 50 cc I've had or used, that little 250 has impressed the crap out of me and got a full profile chain on it...no picco or lo pro...pulls it like no tomorrow, the 170...just feels like u really have to baby them, t435 husqy is my main climber and it's ok, I haven't gone into it or done nothing..probably wont...but ahh wish wasNT qtorq..only complaint

Just got a g372 xp can’t wait to put it to work

6months and you’ve done only 8-12 tanks? TBH thats only just broken in.

They have a new line out called joncutter

Good video

8 tanks?. One days use and you've been stripping it?.

Lmao other then that ,and 8 to 12 tanks of gas in 6 months !!! Lol your funny brother lol ! I love it lmao I'm rolling

Loctite is your friend, use it.

I have the 440...couple years....seems good. Had the dogs get loose and I need to use less viscous oil...not stihl and its fine. I thought thec660 was bigger?

My holzfforma g660 carb needed cleaning a few times ran fine. Today i thought carb was gummed up. Looked inside theres a little mesh screen had saw dust clogging it. Cleaned it ran good and strong. After about 20 minutes it stalls out in middle of cut. Has fire and carb is clean and good. I notice it is harder amd harder to pull than usuall kinda like the compression is higher?? So it was hard to pull.. what gives any help is really appreciated

I still operate a old blue & white Homelite Super XL.😝

Interesant

Pop open "the exhaust" - there's nothing inside. It's just a pretendey exhaust. Pop off the pull-start - it's just a pretendey pull-start. Then dive into the carb - the carbs rougher than any bears behind - even the roughest bear with the roughest behind. The jets are machined using a machete. First hint is how crap the pull-start handle is - it's majorly crap. Your knot will pull through - use a washer.. if you can still be bothered. 'cos they're chunk. Utter muck. Every time I pick the POS up, I regret it.

Made in the USA!

I'm thinking about getting this saw i want your opinion about it

I have same saw. I want to put 36 inch bar and a rip chain. What bar should i get. Any help ty

You said you’d never buy another G660; but you never said why. I’m curious, because I have one coming.

Half the problems were your fault lol my saw so far is awesome straight out the box, the rest is good maintenance :)

My 2 cents . I own a few china dolls , over time I have replaced parts here and there . i have a few OEM saws also . I’ve been cutting wood for manny years now . They can clone these saws just like what you buy at the OEM dealers shop . Same damn saw , maybe a little better . I’m not a fan of them really , but they work , depending on how you take care of your equipment post work I think is the key to longevity in any saw . But yeah I said it it’s the same as an OEM .

I purchased this same saw but it wouldn't fire a lick. A friend of mine told me that the points are no good. My question to you is where can I get some parts for this?

God bless you brother lol that's all I'm saying about this video lol lmao rolling rolling rolling in the floor lmao

Pliers?

I added a like for you, because, well, ... it seems like you’re trying,...& at the very least it seems that you indicated this was yer first video. But did you honestly review and listen to yourself given the title of the video? & Listen, i’m Not trying to cut you down. Perhaps you were nervous, but you have so much extra “chit chat” that doesn’t allow the listener to get, “the Bigger Picture” with the 660. -: for instance,-Will the 660 leak fuel? Will the 660 rattle off the bar? Does the 660 allow for good lube flow over the course of let’s say 3 straight hours of prepping 2&1/2 foot diameter chunks? Does the 660’s clutch seem like it’s up to the task? Etc... With all saws,yes, shit is gonna rattle loose. We understand that. But, How is the saw after 6 months? What are the oddities you experienced. You say there are some but don’t get into it really. Yes, you did show that linkage rubbing. That was good. I’m thinking of buying this saw, but still need info, for which you only scratched the surface.

i just came into a new one I can't get it to start for the first time out of the box ??? what am I missing.

Heyy any help for Indian buyyers

10 tanks is nothing i am sure after a 100 the saw is run in

oh it's a Holzfforma g660

Is it a good chainsaw thinking about to buy one?

you said you wouldnt buy another 660? whats your reason?

So, you would not but that saw again.

Oil is oil

Where can I get one from?

This swa is not available in india

Is it worth buying

Ne cihanaymış kopyalamadik motor koymadi

I can't hear you speak up louder

he say 'poo-layan' hahaha

Why would someone that barely uses a saw be doing a review on a saw?

So another words the it’s a piece of shit and you got a work on it
