Stihl 064 Rebuild and Restoration!

[PA Dan]

Ok the case and tank are one!

Next comes the chain brake that wasn't part of the saw when I got it. Not sure if anyone noticed it was missing in the pics at the beginning of my thread! Once thats in and working right the rest I believe will go quick! Time for dinner!

Heck yeah Dan looks awesome. And the project I told you I had to walk away from this week is done and I had it in some wood tonight.

I believe I'm a converted hybrid fan.

Roller catcher going in the dawgs when Metals get them cut!

 

[PA Dan]

That reminded me to put the av plugs in!

 

[PA Dan]

Now for the carb!

 

[PA Dan]

Then the plastic!

Still waiting on a couple little parts that will be here soon. The muffler back to go with my dual port cover will be here tomorrow as well as the carb grommet. Waiting for dawgs from Metals406 here on AS. Have the roller chain catcher that goes in the dawgs. After the muffler gets here ill get the bar and chain on and see if she fires up!

Are you even gonna be able to put this saw in wood when it's done? Hate to get it dirty.

Looks good now don't get any saw dust or oil all over it!

I did have a little problem that someone might be able to help me with. I had a little trouble getting all the holes to line up when putting the case and the handle together. Eventually I got all the screws in but it looked a little twisted. When I put the top cover and air cleaner cover on they dont line up. So something is a little twisted. Anyone have any solutions? Let me know.

Hey Nate it will get used! I dont see really big wood often but when I do the saw is getting dirty. Ill probably clean her more than the others when the day is done!

Does yours have the little plate with the gasket that goes in between to carb and intake boot?

You got pics of what isn't "straight"?

In this pic it looks like the air filter on the clutch side is higher than the flywheel side. I guess that would mean the tank/handle is somehow twisted like Dan is saying.
