Building An 064 With A MS 660 BB Kit

[Mastermind]

Welp I fired it up tonight. It sure sounds stout. Maybe tomorrow it'll see some wood.

Cool, but now the suspense!!!!!!!!

I've got a 100cc bb for a 395 here, should try it someday.

I sit here wondering if the rings dip into the intake port????

I can't remember. I'll be pulling the carb and looking at it before i fire it up again.

Damn CAD.

OK.....it's back together again. The lower ring was dropping into the intake port. I had Jon tear it down and ditch the ring. The sealer I use needs to dry for 24 hours or so. No running it till tomorrow.

Time flies when you're having fun Preston. I run it for a few cuts (wow) and tore into a Dolmar for porting. Next thing I know it's dark and stuff.

I'll try to get some large wood and make a few cuts for a video asap. It does run purty good.

OK here's a few pics. This thing might be running tomorrow. :msp_smile:

OK, I'm officially confused, a couple pages back you said you had not touched the ports, yet this piston shows a bunch of port work...please clear this up for me...thanks...

A couple of pages back I was concerned with the BB piston failing and causing catastrophic destruction to my nice 064.

That's why I started looking at a Meteor piston in the first place. Now I have complete confidence in the piston's integrity. I do doubt the big end bearing now though. I'll end up putting this top end on a poly flywheel 066 or 660.

I'll be making a video of it today in some large wood.

Did you get your timing issue straight?

Yes Sir. Rob (jockeydeuce) sent me a flywheel that I could run a 1300 coil with. The man is a hero to me BTW. :msp_biggrin:

Straightened that right out.

 

[Scooterbum]

Good deal.

I'm getting ready to play with some filed up keys on my 064 to see what gains might be made.

I did this to a PP330 of mine at the advice of a member here and was quite surprised at the results.

It does make a big difference on some saws. Just watch the head temperature, more timing lead can cause excess heat.

Mailbox is full. LOL!!

Yeah it's a old flattop no decomp.This'll be my keeper.Running 20" bar with .404 on it right now.I like them big chips.

I have a old redlight I'm fixing up for a friend that I may send down for you to massage sometime if that's okay.He's tired of them Huskys beatin' him out now and then.

Fortunate catch there for you

 

[Scooterbum]

2 rings is a waste of metal anyhow !!

I've got some videos uploading of this old saw running a 32" square ground in a big ass pine, and other of it pulling a 9 pin 20" 3/8 in seasoned white oak.

Any of you messed much with advancing timing on an 064 with good results? I'm all ears.....and ugly. :wink2:
