Nice. I'd like to find an 064 to rebuild. When you disassemble the saw, check the flywheel and key. If they are damaged, then your timing will be off which will cause the backfires.

This saw got only 1 place for the key in the flywheel does this indicate when the saw is made i guss earley saw 86-89 ? .seriel number is 117793299.

I figured you would remove the clutch and flywheel before removing the cylinder and piston if you were gonna do a "complete rebuild".
