    It's a tongue twister lol
    I like them spelled wrong i'm not going to sell them.
    they've been fun to mess with and run excellent.
    Fuel lines are crap i swapped them for echo bulk line and i tossed the decomp valve's didn't trust them.
    Oem wrist pin bearing.
    Everything else is china I've run over 18 gallons of nix through the first one still doing great.

    I think there fun too.

    And I agree most of their fuel line is junk.

    And my stihl 650 is wearing chineese chlothes. No one but people on here would even tell or see the tiny differences in color. And it's tiny

    I always called them ATVs. My Jersey friend said they call them quad to distinguish them from the three wheel versions; which he said are dangerous as they flip so easily. I now call them quads so my Jersey friend knows what I am referring to.

    Yes, and that bearing with high friction is going to be cheap but burn out quickly. The bearing that just spins and spins will be a lot more expensive but should last for a long time.

    A few of the guy's are milling withe the 660 huztl kits and they are holding up fine with the huztl cylinders.
    A bunch of them also built them for a gtg at randy "mastermind worksaws" in oct.
    The cross 660 cylinders have had some issue's plating coming loose etc.
    I haven't messed with them just the 372s i bought 2 50mm and 2 52mm huztl cylinders and they were very good runners.
    I had to clean the casting flash up a little in one.
    They sent one with the decomp not threaded so they sent me another 50mm and two complete piston kits lol
    I've got 3 50s now.
    I've talked to some Australians and they have been using the 372s for year's the cost of saw's over there is ridiculous.
    I've used over 20 am cylinder kits in customer's saw's at their request. oem kits are too much for most and to keep a saw Running.
    I just cut most of the g off those stupid circlips.
    Have never had one come loose.
    They are very happy with them.
    Not for everyone but they do the job for me.

    That's right. GB. I missed out on some useful size ones from Left coast.

    I don't cut as much as others so one bar lasts a long time. I did buy a tip for my old husky bar but that cost me what one of those whole bars cost.
