MS660 knock off

[tphoyt]

I want a dedicated saw for my chainsaw mill.
I’m tired of have to set up switch everything around every time.
I just ordered a knockoff of the Stihl ms660.
It was only $300 bucks for the power head and I have the bars and chains already so I’m taking the chance. Anyone here try these cheap saws?
I’m not a gambler but for 3 bills even if I only get a few years out this is be happy. Supposedly all the parts are interchangeable with the real deal.
I don’t want to shell for another $1,600 saw.
Wish me luck

Bought a knock off pole saw a few years back.
Fired right up but had a 50/50 chance of bogging when you hit the throttle. Screwed with for a week or so and set it aside since I finished the job it was purchased for.

Saw a carb for the unit popup on Amazon. What the heck for $20. After a bit of adjustment it runs like a top. Sucks fuel for some reason.
