Stihl 064 Rebuild and Restoration!

[Definitive Dave]

As I get set to build some is there anything I should be looking for in the cylinders or other parts that makes a better saw, along the lines of the D cylinder for the 046?
And I have a decent number of 064 tank/handles but they are different too anything to look for there or in crankcases?
This thread is always a good read.

Just make sure you have the correct coil mounting holes in the flywheel side case to fit the proper coil to it

if I remember right theres a bunch of combos to go with coil ,flywheel, cases halves

Keep the KS jugs with the KS pistons......Mahle with Mahle.

Hahahaha. My kind...I love it. He actually stopped by the shop today. Made a couple cuts with his 046 and he gave this ms661 I'm demoing a rip.

oh! i see you put on a 3/4 wrap.......brake works ok then?

Matched set.....

Hmmm... and I thought Randy didn't like 3/4 wraps on the 1122 saws, because his widdle hand would get too hot....

I sold one.......but I can still pull a couple more out from under the bench.

or the mail box

I am assuming the number/letter sequences on the base of the jugs mean something, is it important to building the best saw?
I am planning to do one total NOS build and have a Mahle set for that, all the others I have are KS and I have three pistons for the five jugs, I was going to use Meteor for the other two, are OEM 064 pistons markedly better?

used nice jugs are marked
081/B1+
081/2B++
081/B1
081/2A
081/2A+
the Mahle has +++++ 52ZN19 W4

are any of these special?

 

[treeslayer2003]

the KS jugs are better ported......or so we all believe. look on the inside of the pistons with a bright light for the KS symbol that kinda looks like a dollar sign. it will be kinda elongated in the pistons.
i think what randy meant was to to keep the pistons and jugs the same make if you can.
i would speculate that the earliest jug may be the best......but it only a speculation.

Why whatever do you mean dan?

Seems that is just a full wrap thing. The brake handle leaves a hole that heat from the muffler rolls up thru. No problem on the 3/4 wrap.

My widdle hand does not enjoy being fried.

Got the 064 out today for a little work! I also just got my 044 back from Tennessee last Saturday so it got some run time also! Both saws ran great but I think the 064 is running a little rich. I did lean it out just a touch but will check it with the tach tomorrow. I was cutting some Ash trees at a neighbors house. We got most of the job done today and will finish it on Wednesday.
