Great to hear of another good supplier! That "doohickey" is a spitback guard, to try and keep the filter dry. I prefer the foam insert over it but haven't tried running without either. Clearly way more restrictive than I thought😮 The switch rod and throttle trigger are the only hard parts I've replaced with oem Stihl on my g660 pro, now about 9 out of 10 times fast idle works!😅
Ahhh a familiar sound :) Prolly still has the high idle issues I used to fix by putting in OEM trigger/controls . They are cheap upgrades. Careful though, Farmertec stuff can be addicting as you can accomplish so much for so much less....( Hobby/mod & Build stuff )
For easy starts, press the decompression button, set saw to full choke, do a slow pull (about 4 rotations of the crank) flick it down to half choke and one good pull and it'll start. Learned it from a arborist forum. It's great
I figured that one out on my own. My ritual is full choke 3 pops then 3 more (slow pull). Flick over to the start setting and it fires in 1 - 3 pulls every time.
Checking out their site right now split screen. Seems like they have some fair pricing! Congratulations! I have had my eyes on the clone 044 and 066 saws so this was timely.
So to clarify on some stuff. The warranty is a 3 month commercial or 6 month residential parts warranty. So no need to send the saw back to us just let us know what needs to be replaced and will get a new part out to you. This is the clone of the MS660. Yes Boedy you are correct the Pro model comes with a Nikasil cylinder, Meteor piston, walbro carb and some other items. Can not wait to see what you have in store for it, also have a New line of custom products coming in that we can test out on this saw.
Try a hyway dual port on this saw. It wakes them right up big time! This saw is a replica of the ms660 stihl. The 0 series totally different animal pre epa screamers. Like your 064 pre epa animal. Speaking of wish youd show that puppy off. Its a nice machine.
I did that, gutted the inside of muffler, base gasket delete, hyway big bore with popup piston. 180 PSI compression cold. It pulls the 8 pin sprocket without issue. Cuts wood like a laser.
I bought the standard G660 almost 2 years ago. After 4 or 5 tanks, i put a Hyway DP on it that I first gutted, and retuned the carb. It pulls a 28" 404 bar and chain like a boss. I also have a 42" bar with a 375 full skip chain. I dont like running big saws if i don't need to, but when i need to, I love this saw ;)
I've put a couple of gallons through a G660 Pro and I love the thing! Runs like a scolded dog and hasn't given me a single issue so far. It has a Nikasil coated cylinder, Meteor Piston, Caber rings and NGK plug. Also has a better pull handle and better recoil system.
I am an agricultural contractor in ireland and it always makes me laugh seeing big guy on such a small tractor. Couldn’t believe it lifted the log , a little sketchy but it did it 😂.
I think the intake side of things is neglected a LOT by people. They are there to keep the decibels down and reduce spitback. A lot of them are restrictive in order to reduce noise.
The saw does have the fat base sound. Hope things work out, with the membership stuff. Maybe you can get a little bit bigger machine to place the logs with.
What kinda dog is that? I got bulldog/ Ridgeback pups. I got neotec 92 looks like that. It's very strong and fast. Just the hi screw a little & the muffler outlet .

Much as I like Farmertec pricing, the idea of replacing clone parts with oem will eventually fail due to there no longer being original brand. Clone replaces original, original dies, replacement endangers system failure. Clones are a slip in the cogs of dna.
Bonjour je vais vous dire sait pas ma sorte préférer moi j ai. 2 husqui 257 et une 545 Mark 2 et une Echo et 361 p. Je suis très satisfait de ça bonne soirée bye
That's a good saw for someone one without alot of money that needs a big saw.I have one and its served me very well.I also run a 28* on.mine with full comp chain.the dawgs on them are pretty crappyand the switch gives me trouble from ti!e to.time,but overall its a big powerful saw well worth the $400
