ms660 owners....

Bingo yeah that's exactly the same as this one.

 

Now ive found the reason out. Stihl actually list 2 different brake levers for the ms660. It depends on what handlebar you have fitted.

Fitting the other brake handle sorts the issue out for us if you feel its an issue cost is £21 + vat from stihl.

Its actually a new 660 ive almost built up from parts hence the issue of not realising there where 2 different brake handles fitted. Ones slightly straighter and higher than the other which is what I need.

 

Hi wise sorry I was thinking it was a new one mate sorry mate all the best with it mate thanks Jon

The strip and clean makes a huge difference. Mine was suffering from the bad chain brake but a good clean with a degreaser sorted it.

I have had several newish Stihls brought back with the chain brake issue. A good clean and grease of the linkage gets them working again for a while.

 

But I just cannot understand why Stihl have not sorted the problem, after all, they have known about it for years.

I have done two thinks to improve my 660. Firstly the factory dual port muffler & secondly the large output oiler. When you have run with both is makes a lot of sense.

 

Its already fitted with a dual port muffler and high output pump before its even fully built or had an ounze of fuel thru it

Where's the best place to get these please? As they're stated as factory I'm guessing dealer, but is there an alternative?

 

Reason being I'm looking at running the Sugi 42" bar for milling/ringing and although the saw is great I wonder about the oiler output.

 

Kind regards,
