How To Identify Fake Stihl Clone Chainsaw Knock Off

[@TylerKegolis]

Hey man, i bought my saw (ms660) used off a guy who works on saws. What do you suggest my next step be here? I have the dotted serial number on my saw. The chain cover seems to be stihl. The handle, air filter, air filter plastic, and pull cord cover all seem to be replaced. Is it possible my saw was a parts saw at one point and just rebuilt with some non-oem parts? What would be the #1 thing to look for on the powerhead? I understand Stihl does use parts stamped with PA66-Gf 30. That number signifies the type of plastic (polyamide 66) it is.

I mean that might be an expensive saw to somebody who had to rebuild it with new aftermarket parts. Sounds like the case halves and most likely the real expensive parts are OEM. I don’t know that you’d be able to read stihl off the cylinder, but you might be able to see it on top of the piston be removing the plug and spraying brake clean down the hole. If you paid good running used saw price and have a good running saw I wouldn’t worry about it too much

For 400 bucks a person can buy a pretty darn good 660 clone thru neotec, I have the Neotec 066 ,it is a decent saw for sure.
