I just ordered one of these to mate with a 36" bar and an Alaskan mill. Plan on milling some hardwood slabs to eventually turn into tabletops. You got a much better deal than me, I ended up paying just under $500 after taxes ordering from Amazon.
@@Man-Time I ordered a Stihl chain tensioner and a better oiler for it as well, they seem to be some of the weak links in these saws from the research I've done. I still think it's going to be very worth it as long as it doesn't give me any major issues!
You did fine, I ordered when you did. Holtzforma's shipping was over $100, after fees it was much closer. I went with Amazon to get their warranty and transaction simplicity.
Walbro actually has a plant in Tianjin, China. It seems like the pro model already has many of the upgrades a lot of people recommend on doing to the standard versions.
I only have 1 clone and that's likely my limit but I do think they have a place in everyone's saw collection as long as you don't mind wrenching on saws, upgrading some parts to OEM and aren't depending solely on one to to make a paycheck...
Just for fun you make it 98cc with a dome piston really make it pop put cheap Chinese cylinder highway piston with caber rings on a 066 with a red light from the 90s have fun with it .
I will tell you you need to really look into a neotec. Neotec has a better build quality and they offer some pro upgrades. I jave no dislike for any clone if it works and does the job. Grease the base of the airfilter ,these clone air filters are garbage,,go get a max flow oil air filter kit.. Beotec comes with a better tool kit dir sure.
Yeah I got a great deal on this one. But I have a neotec stihl spare parts kit that has saved me a few times. The tools kit is very nice. I can’t speak to the saws they make
You and your bob the builder tools Have already said this saw is junk so why even buy it If you want a stihl then buy it and stop bitching if you are looking for a Lincoln you don’t buy a pinto
That baffle is there for a reason!! Diffuser. You need a pre filter on that hard filter.

I did get a really good deal. I like mine and it’s been good to me so far. Best of luck

Those are the things that I want to upgrade also. I did replace the fuel line to the carb as mine was leaking
Which OEM Model parts are direct fit? 660 or 066?@@generalkayoss7347

The 660 is the best model they have cloned. I won’t waste my money on any of the others. My 660 clone has been ok for when needing to run a 36” bar.
Agreed. It’s a pig to lug around and a bit of a gas hog, but pulls that 36” pretty good.
I have a g660 pro good saw's. With some work they wake up big time. I threw the piece under the filter away and its not had any problems.
Been running a 42” bar for milling on this saw, i also opened it up a bit for performance, its still running to this day
