    There are two builder/racers on the west coast that two of the 665s went to, Adam Clarke and Adam Artzer. Spoke to Adam Clarke this AM, as soon as he gets the 7900 he is working on sorted he will be doing one of the 665s, not known yet if it will be hot WP or race saw. I will post pics as he progresses.

    Lets all wait until Mastermind gets finished playing with the two 665s I sent him, before sending 665s off to be ported. Give the poor guy some time to figure out what is best for the saw. That is why I decided to be the test-bed and sent a saw and a spare C/P!

    Plays fine on my Android devices (phone and tablet) and my iPad. Maybe its your provider or the plan. Because host sites will tend to make you use more data? Maybe they block you somehow?

    Guys on my site if you want to see a fast solo. Look for the thread NOS 681. 70+ year old man racing it. Friends of mine seen it at the races and 1 friend was actually racing against it in video.

    Then there is some other videos of some fast solo saws out there.

    Yeah. That was a new RS. It was throwing some chips :thumbs:

    The saw is set exactly where it came from the factory. It's just a hair under 12,000. Idle was at 3,200. I am gonna keep it a little fat for break in, but otherwise, it's a solid saw. The weight doesn't bother me, because of the 441 and 460 are right up there with it. My 362C is being sent home soon, so I only have heavy saws to compare against. :)

    I wasn't gonna post this. But as soon as I got unpacked at the cabin. I put the bars on the saws and got them ready. Because I was working on gravel, I laid down some rags.

    I started the 665 and proceeded to let it warm up. I then put the tach to it to check idle.. Then revved it a few times. Just as I was going for WOT, to check what top end RPM it was running..... The saw suddenly STOPPED! ! o_O

    One of the rags got sucked up under the chain.. :zip::picard:

    Doh!!:(

    Teaches you to set down a rag... put it on the gravel!

    Sounds great, it has that "bell in the muffler" sound that I hear on some Stihl equipment. Unless my headphones are playing games with me. Know what I mean?
