    I can sell that Madsens for about 3 times what u have in it. If I was going to do the wrap? I'd buy a OEM used POS off of eBay.

    Happy? Happy is not the word! I love it!

    Thank you! And Duckville imaging!!

    Some infos here in europe tell that we see the carbon in 2016 , but are only infos.............................:whistle::whistle:
    You see now the " flagship is the 661 " so the carbon must wait a little.............. after the recall drama

    The only that i can not understand is that if you have something special to show , why you show something that its not special .

    I was clearing the bench off this evening to start working on a few 'government jobs' and figured this may be interesting to post. As I mentioned earlier in this thread when I got the JD ("Junkyard Dog") it was disassembled shy of the bottom end. The crank in the assembly was broken and there was also another broken crank in the box-o-parts. The two broken cranks - presumably coming from this same saw - had virtually identical failures. Clearly Stihl felt the 10mm wrist pin needed to be upgraded, but is anyone aware of a common failure as seen in the photos with the early crankshafts?
