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.

unscrew the wrap handle, remove it, and see if it springs back. I've found that the wrap handles being twisted cause that alignment problem. If that is the case, clamp the lower leg in a vise, twist, check fitment, twist, bend, check fit, etc etc until it lines up with no fuss. If the handle does not fit perfect, the AV mounts tend to be bound slightly and can/will transmit extra vibration to to the operator.

Thats a great guess as I recently came across the same problem on a saw

Thanks buddy I was thinking something had to be binding up somewhere. Im thinking ill loosen the av screws while im at it. Hopefully that will straighten things out. Ill work on that tonight!

Along those lines, I never install the loop handle until most everything else is assembled. It's much easier to work on that way.

Ya I realized that a little late! Wont do it next time!

 

[PA Dan]

Ok everything is lined up straight now!

Thanks to all that offered advice on what was causing this. I found it was a combination of the wrap handle and the av that mounts with the two screws. If you look in this picture it says it all!

Needless to say I took the tank back off switched the av around and everything went together like a dream. My muffler back arrived today and matched up great with my dual port cover!

 

[PA Dan]

Bar and chain installed! Ready for fuel and oil! Will have to wait for tomorrow!

Better pictures will come tomorrow after the sun comes up!

 

[Cardston]

Oh man-it looks sweet. I'm sure it will roar like a tiger.

 

[Mastermind]

That's a pretty saw.

 

[old-cat]

That's a job you can be VERY proud of!!!!!
What's it worth now, about $5,000?

Wait till Randy plays with it a little! It's taking a trip to Tennessee in about a month!

Great job on the saw!!

Hope to get mine back from Mastermind soon... It's not quite as pretty as yours, but I don't think the trees will be able to tell the difference!

Ya porting a saw urself is rewarding but having one with the Monkey touch is a different ballgame. U have peace of mind knowing it was in
good hands and done right!

Good looking saw. This thread is going to cost me some money and the time to build another 064. I love those raw aluminum handlebars...looks great Dan.
