Chainsaw Goodies

It's like Christmas morning!

Too bad it's going to rain all weekend, the inlaws are coming to town and its my granddaughters birthday. Won't get time to try any of it

I see a new rim drive, muffler, chisel chains, filter......looks like someone was a good boy for Chainsaw Claus to have been so gracious....

Missed the best part -- the tach -- to tune my 660 when the dual port muffler goes on. Now that I sold my 394xp and went back to using the 660 I realize it needs a little help.

CHEATER! You must've had it hidden under the gloves.....

You don't already have an 8 pin on your 660? Adding a dual port and an 8 pin? And properly setting max RPM?

Yep, it's gonna be a different saw?!!?!!?!

Looks like a box I would like delivered

What size bar are you running on the 660?

Came setup with a 7 pin.

Hijack away



The 8 pin will gain chain speed at the expense of torque. I'm running a 25" bar on the 660 so I wanted to see how it would feel with a gear change.

My 024 has a 8 pin while my 026 has a 7 pin. Both saws have a 16" bar. They cut pretty even until I get into bigger limbs (8"+) then the 026 starts to shine. My next project will be to convert the 026 to a rim drive and maybe try 3/8 chain. That is unless I really like the 254xp I'm working on. Then I'll have to pick something to sell...

I have 8 pins on my Dual-port 460's with 20" bars. You will kick yourself for not doing it a lot sooner. Best $6 (or whatever you spend) you will ever spend on it.

8 pin shipped today. Should be there for some weekend fun!!

Your should notice the difference immediately. With your Dual Port it will run pretty good

Next step is a Woods Port from one of the builders on AS!?! Randy and Brad are pretty close to you

That is awesome, unfortunately I don't know what most of that stuff is, except the gloves of course....ha. But since we are talking presents, this is what my buddy brought over to me last week, I works quite well and is easy to use......
