Magnum

[Tigger the Trigger]

Can anyone enlighten me on the word '' MAGNUM '' after a CS660 means please?

[son of a birch]

It means it was formerly owned by Tom Selleck.

Do you mean MS660?

 

If so, there may or may not still be any differences. The 066 vs. 066 Magnum are slightly different - the Magnum has a different exhaust muffler which is effectively ported (but I think this may now have been banned) and has the heavy duty crankshaft as standard. The 'porting' added an official 0.8hp and the crankshaft was uprated to take it.

Had an ms440 mag for a while and it was certainly more of a gower than a std 440

[Albe013]

just an example once had a 038 magnum that was 72cc where a standard 038 was 62cc just means amore powerful version of that standard saw

 

 

if at first you dont succeed sod it and put the kettle on?

With the 066 they both had the same pot and piston, although early ones had no decomp on the Magnum.

The name Magnum was introduced by Stihl in America to capitalise on the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry films, it's an American thing.

Hasn't meant any technical difference in terms of the Stihl line-up for many years now. Like previously said- it's just a name they add to their saws for the American market.

Thanks all, that seems to have put that to bed.
