I have the older hyway jug and the pop up piston with caber rings on my 660. Im getting the titanickel kit and going to do some small port work to it. 1 thing i have found that helped alot on mine was getting a velocity stack. Copper exhaust cooling fins off of ebay and bumping up to the bigger i think .64 carb jet. Mine has a healthy scream now and pull. Run good FD rated oil (royal purple hp2) at around 40 to1. And good premium 93 gas ir better. Be good to go.
Thanks for the info. I definitely don't mind giving this thing more guts. It's got 220psi of compression, so I might aswell use every last bit, so getting bigger jet is a good idea. I want the saw to still look somewhat stock so I probably won't be putting a velocity stack on her. One thing I've heard is that it is very hard to port the titanickel plating as it chips very easily, so I've stayed away from that on this one.
First off, having had a chain hit my Chain saw chaps and see you in shorts and chore boots, you need to think about safety. No gloves, no chaps. Chain saws need to be respected. Things do happen. Sorry for being the Dad here but speak from experience.
I'll be Gramps...... he's got hearing protection and this is a controlled cut. If he was slashing or felling, then yeah, I'd agree, but hes not. This is akin to reving your motorbike in the driveway without your leathers. But I'd hope you wear your leathers and helmet on the road..... I'm not worried. la viva
