yes. i was not a big fan on the av springs at first but my 261 changed my opinion about that.  looks to be m-tronic as the only option.

looks like it also lost .5 cc in displacement and pick up .3 in bhp over the 660.

661 is Stihl's first big cube saw in spring av , air injection and micro processor control.
241CM- 661CM......Husky has a lot of catching up to do now ;)

It should be a good runner with the cylinder setup like the 461. It doesn't have a double barrel strato carb like the 441.

I was hoping to have a non m tronic first. But I guess we will have to take what they give us.  If it runs any thing like the way a 261 runs it will be hard to beat. IMO.

I'm eager to buy a 661CM. My 395XP is getting real old school to me now ;). From what I have heard about Husky and Stihl sharing this so called micro processor technology, I think Stihl got the better deal. :D
I still don't see a big cube AutoTune saw in Husky trim in the near future. :'(

I was looking at my part look up today, and saw that they increased the bore size to 56mm.  I think it is going to be a good saw and who knows maybe my first micro processor saw. Don't worry they will all be auto tune or m tronic before long then fuel injected would be my guess.

Yes fuel injection when they introduce it will change everything.
