    Nope.. Never owned a 290 either. .

    Nice try.. You have a decent memory though ;)

    And everyone has to start somewhere. . I started with a 455 Rancher.. ;) I didn't pop out if the womb wrapped in XP. :p So yeah, I started with a 455 and an 036.. Everyone goes through it, just as you did.. :dancer:

    I remember telling you to lose the 20" bar on that 455. :). You were all Husky back then. What happened? :rofl: :lol:

    Lmao!! Physics is working against the stream at all times with gravity!! Drink more water and it will dilute it to 50to1. Less protection at 50to1 but less viscosity but more velocity. Maybe running a foredom through the prostate will produce a longer higher arc???!!! :p:rofl: :lol:

    I'd like some action on this. Has anybody declared to be the FHC bookie? I'm taking action now....the book is open.

    Do I need a new thread for this? Perhaps a sticky?

    I'm working up odds as we speak....old Skool has been challenged!!! Will old Skool even put up and play?

    That's a separate book....different odds too.

    I'm waiting for the odds. I want to put my money on a saw I've never seen or ran before.

    How could I have forgotten than. Boogs and Mech swayed you to the dark side...

    I still have my first saw from 1998. Maybe you'll get to see it... :D its about the same cc as your 362.....

    Got a video made today. My SD card filled up right when I was starting my second cut on the last run, but i got one in. Here's what I got:
    Testing each saw with a 7 pin and 8 pin sprocket. First Stihl clip is with the 8 pin (clip from a previous video), 1st Husqvarna clip is with the 8 pin, 2nd Sthil clip is with the 7 pin and 2nd Husqvarna clip is with the 7 pin. Stihl is a year old has been used a lot. Husqvarna has about 3 tanks through it. Both 20" bar with new Oregon LGX chain. Red oak is about 22-24". If you notice me remove my grip and appear to use a finger or two, it's because I'm showing that I'm not exerting a whole lot of effort. I applied the same force to both saws.



    Stihl did perform pretty well. I didn't tune the carb at all from the first clip in this video. Still don't feel the 20CC extra though. But it felt good.

    no its not "on".. I want to pick up my 660 from a buddy's that is using it this weekend, but I won't have time before going to Dex's place. I just hope he has some big wood. I want to run this raped ape everyone keeps talking about, then send all my junk out to get a real port instead of a hack job. the comment I made was about a unicorn 460/046 raping an 066/660 all day long every day, but I might bring the 3shiity5 with me. maybe Mike Lee could make my lowly musky's run decent. :dex:

    I'd say it is possible, depending on how both saws are ported and built. I've done and seen lots of 70cc saws smoke ported 066s and 660s.

    Been lots of talk about it latetly, so I guess we can pull the videos.:)
    Here's me and my 372 at the WKY GTG-066 buildoff. It was faster than half of the ported 066s and 660s,including mine.


    They were also a couple Treemonkey 7900s there that were kicking butt and taking names. :axe:

    Was this a public build on the forums? Any of those 066/660's have any husky pistons in them? Nice running saw. Still have that 550xp I got from ya! Still rips. Have no desire to tear it apart and port it
