I always liked that song:D:thumbup:

Stig your 461 is a current production model. I'm talking about one that is not.:)

In 90F and higher with humidity my 562 plus 3- 550Xp's I also have being using in my tree service all have warm start issues. Flooding, have to use fast idle to clear them out. Really bad when working in a tree. Weather cools down they run flawless. I heard the same from operators in Australia...

We're not quite as far north as you, you'd be in SawTrolls latitude where it's 24 hr darkness in winter, 24 hr light in summer. We have up to 21 hrs of day light in summer and 16 hrs darkness in winter on the shortest day. Never had to use head lamps though.

That's nothing Stig;) When I was doing sawchain field testing for Stihl in 1989 I came upon a logging camp in northern Alberta, and found a group of White Russian hand fallers felling timber in the dark long after supper time. They had head lites mounted on their saw's top handle wired into the...

Just to add to my last post, as much as I like my old 064's and 066's they don't compare to todays new saws with air injection, spring anti vibe and the good running torque monster strato design. Upon running my old 064/066's for a few minutes recently that was all I wanted to run them for...

Fiona, you now have a top notch saw that can handle any job for you, very good investment. Now that I think of it if I was to buy another Stihl the 461 would be my pick. Looks like a good design.........also no microprocessor controlled carb to worry about in hot weather too!

History lessons are good , I always believed an expert woodcutter who makes a living with a chainsaw should know his tools inside and out. Good job on the codominant stemmed tree, you must have felled the forward leaning stem first to avoid the danger of that tree splitting apart especially...

Actually the 066 Red Lite came out with a metal flywheel, then the upgrade was another metal flywheel and ignition module change. The poly flywheel came out a few years later with decomp included. I have both of these 066's.

I have to tell you all this story relating to the "Red Lite". On a summer evening in 1989 I was having dinner with Hans Peter Stihl, Stihl Canada president Fred Whyte [now Stihl USA president] and my branch manager Steve Meriam [now Stihl USA sales, product research and development manager]. Mr...

I miss using my first 064 that I bought in early 1986. These first series 064's weighed 14.1 lbs less then todays Ms460.

CL, Every Stihl I owned since 1980 had the carb adjustment on the right hand side. The Red Lite 066 came out in approximately 1992. This saw had a built in digital tach that would turn the light on when the H speed screw was set right at WOT. Was quite a feat of engineering at the time, but...

Andy,yeah at first when I saw Fi's pic it looked really familiar but could only say a 660 , thinking a 20 yr old 066 would be out of the question. Then after looking at my 066 pics I spotted the red lite on Fi's pic. I haven't run my 066 for about 5 years now, it's just waiting in the shed...

I'll be damned, Fiona has an old 066 red lite in her picture. I just noticed the red lite lens above and foreward of the carb adjuster screws in her pic.:D Look at my 066 redlite in my pic and compare.:)

No the 044 didn't sport those big dogs Burnham.

These are the best running 066's Butch:thumbup: Mine still runs strong .

I couldn't get enough zoom on that pic of Fiona's saw to see the decomp, but here is my first 066 Red Lite with no decomp, I also have a newer 066 poly fan wheel with the decomp in the top cover..

660-28"

660

Looks like a 28" Fi. :O Well CL, myself being a instructor for www.arborcanada.com I can teach you a lot of things, and these 2 things you just mentioned I first correct my students on.
