I have a real-deal-Holyfield, fully monkeyed Stihl MS661 top end kit and muffler. Randy sold a couple of these earlier this year and I bought one with the intention of putting it on my MS661 C-MR. Hard to pass up a bolt-on ported saw kit without the wait!! He made all of his modifications to the cylinder, then tested the top end on a saw for a short time. The muffler was also modded by Randy, but is brand new and has never seen use. From what I understand he cuts the base & combustion chamber, does his magic to the transfers and ports, and also used Devcon epoxy on the bottom of the intake port to raise it and increase the pressure in the crankcase. The muffler gets gutted, opened up, and a larger mesh spark screen installed. I could be forgetting something or off accuracy a bit, but if you have specific questions give Randy a shout as I gave him a heads-up that I'd be selling this kit (didn't want him to think I bought it just to flip) and being the good guy he is he said to have the buyer contact him with any questions. Before I had a chance to make the top end swap I ended up selling my 661 to fund another addition to my collection. I hung on to the kit for awhile figuring another 661 would come along, but now a different opportunity has presented itself and the kit needs a new home so I can add to the "saw account". I opened the box to look at the goodies, but never did anything beyond that. It's exactly as I received it and will even ship in the box I received it in. I bought this kit for $500 shipped, and that's what I'm selling it for. If you're interested, but not up for the task of making the swap yourself PM me and we can work something out. Also, I don't get discounts on new saws, but I'd be happy to pick up a new one here locally and make the swap. And since status tends to hold as much value as performance . . . YES the kit DOES include a MMWS STICKER!!!! Thanks!
Oh DexterDay ..... This sounds like something right up his ally. Would be mine too if I could spare the beans......
Thanks for the tag, but the 661 I bought was from NTS! I passed on this kit when I bought his saw As much as I want it, the 661 is more saw than I will ever need. Shameless pic Thanks again!!
Give it some thought and shake your piggy banks fellas. I felt like this was a good opportunity when I got it and I believe it's even more so now since I noticed Randy isn't scheduling in port work at the moment. I wanted to offer this up to my FHC friends first, but if no takers I'm planning to post it on AnotherSite tomorrow morning.
By the time you sell your stock piston, cylinder, muffler, etc. This is a great deal. I just have no need for more power out of my saw. Someone needs to jump on this!
it must be the hot summer sun affecting his reasoning, no worries in another month or two after things cool down, he will be back and wondering how to get more power out of the 661,,,, thinking I should/could/wist i would have bought that ported top end.....
Well, time's up, the top end is NLA. For those of you who share the dangerous addiction that is CAD, you'll be empathetic to my struggle... For those who know, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, no explanation will suffice. As time has ticked by without anyone wanting to purchase this kit I figured it would be harmless to see what was out there for sale when it comes to the 661. So, despite not needing or wanting another saw . . . especially a big one . . . I ended up with yet another MS661C-MR. New and unused, but the price was right. I always do stupid things like this thinking I'll follow through with my intentions, and then something else shiny comes running by and I jump ship on my plans and sell it off. However, for the moment my plan is to give this new saw a heart transplant, get the plastics dipped in a carbon fiber pattern like Dex's 460, and then place a small oval sticker on the newly dipped plastics to make sure it's pedigree is known to the world! Stay tuned...
