What bar and ripping chain do I need for a G660 for milling?

I had this thought in my head. If its in a mill who cares. I guess I'd still rather it work as a normal saw but it might not be a huge deal.

 

I do understand what you are talking about/thinking but like I said when the saw is locked in the mill the brake has no room to move and therefore will never activate. Now if you are also using the saw for felling or bucking that would be unsafe and should be fixed.
I have a 390xp that I have for my mill and that’s all I use it for so for me if the brake didn’t work no big deal I have others saw I like better for felling and bucking
There is nothing like a full wrap handle on a felling saw

 

My neighbor has a G660 that he picked up (not running) from a guy along his truck route for $100. I put in a new piston and "warmed" it up for him, mild woods port, a MM, and an ignition timing advance. It cuts great, but I noticed while tuning it up and breaking it in for him that the anti-vibe wasn't where I would like it if I was going to be using it a lot. My hands started feeling it after about half a tank of gas. I did shim the chain tensioner and put a longer rope in the starter.

He's run it enough to cut about 15 cord of wood with it and hasn't had any troubles at all. He runs Amsoil Dominator at 40:1 but doesn't do any milling with it.

 

Argh. Ran a few more test cuts, tensioned the chain as it broke in. Tensioner chowdered itself out again.

 

Can you upload a picture of the tensioner or at least what’s left
Also a picture of the model and serial tag at the least maybe some of us guys can help you find a better tensioner
