I'd post pics of my 1992 066Mag Artic red light if I could. The
saw in the above pics looks exactly like mine except mine had a
"Digital" decal on the top cover and a dual outlet muffler.
But also my Arctic had a heated carb not heated handles. Up here
in chilly Canada where we had to log in down to -40 below it was
more important to keep the carb from icing up then to worry
about cold hands.
We central Canadians are already climatized. Just a good pair
of wool liners in leather mittens with a trigger finger on the
right hand is all we need.... haha.

Some found so far. I know there is more here in a thread.
Willard I am just guessing that 066 artic in original post has
heated handles too. No clue really.
Larry do you have any info on the ones sold here back then?
Willard's saw.

Thanks for finding those Kevin. I see the heated handle switch
on your other 066 you earlier posted. But I think back in those
early red light days Arctic meant one or the other...heated carb
or handles.
I sold my 066 (pictured) last winter and gave the guy 1 month
warranty but then took it back when he didn't come up with the
money.
I'm going through it this winter with a total OEM rebuild,
sandblast, powder coat and hopefully sell it down in the States.
I'm opening up my shop to the public in a few months as a saw
sharpening and bar, chain retail business.

Does yours have the same switch?
Good deal on business side. It brings in extra $$$ on your own
time on the side. ;)

No switch on my 066 Arctic. Its heated carb is controlled by a
built in thermostat that keeps the carb at a constant 77F
according to Stihl Canada.
Since moving up here to Thompson 3 years ago my tree service
winter off season is now 2 extra months longer. 5 months off
last winter so I definitely need a new business plan.
Just going to sharpening sawchain and sell bars, chains and
sprockets. Maybe get into tuneup but no rebuilds or repairs.

TS shared some info with me on the saw.
That's the newer smooth style arctic handlebar with a different
resistance value than what the generator is... they overheat and
don't work you need to update the element in the rear handle and
the generator... glad you walked away.
I've learned that if you don't have copious parts to back up
one crossed wire you shouldn't own Arctics....
Two Versions of Arctic Stihl' s
Single Generator Wire Version (looks like speaker cable) ...only
contains a handlebar heater and rear handle heater ...
Double Wire Generator Version (Green and yellow wires)
Handle bar and handle heater plus a heater for the carb with
thermostat switch that operates below 70°F...
These two don't interchange and have vastly different resistance
values
