Good luck finding a new saw for 750. Maybe a piltz race saw
Recap...$300-400 for porting/rebuild. Plus parts. $150 for just a rebuild.Ok guys sorry this turned into a what bar will work thread... Back to the cost of a rebuild hop up?
Jred 2188 @$875 is still well above that $750 budget. 7910 for $750 is an everyday price but that is pho... Would still need a 36" bar which will run in the $100 range for a quality bar.
Rebuild the 064 if it's nice enough that it won't eat you up in parts. 66 cylinder and dual port cover will get you a solid saw for the cheapest.
Trade the 64 in on a new saw and you could j just make your budget

except if your a pansy like me...i cant stand running any of the old rubber A/V saws for any length of timea nice rebuilt 064 is a beautiful thing to have and behold, I would take it over any other saw mentioned in this thread, and it will last a long time giving you smiles every time you run it

Sounds like you need the Poulan 2000 and some fat padding gloves lolexcept if your a pansy like me...i cant stand running any of the old rubber A/V saws for any length of time
A ported 372 will handle a 36" bar just fine. My two did, though I would not make a daily habbit of this plenty of loggers have.A ported 372XP will handle a 28" full comp very well.
i avoid poulans like the plague! too many vibes for me to even run them for tuning purposesSounds like you need the Poulan 2000 and some fat padding gloves lol
Which of the NEW saws from your signature would you recommendSounds to me like it will get to close to the cost of a new saw. Likely just do a trade in walk out with a new saw.
One of my clients is a spring manufacturer, I wonder if we could build spring AV retrofit kits for the 064 and other high vibe sawsi avoid poulans like the plague! too many vibes for me to even run them for tuning purposes
I hate epa. No wait I like the epa saws. They are cheep if the person selling it can't get it started when they say it runsWhich of the NEW saws from your signature would you recommend
a new EPA compliant saw will never be the equal of a ported 064 in many ways, unless we are talking dealership salesman commission then a new saw wins hands down
if there was a way to convert the old 064/066/660 to spring A/V and it be even remotely close to the new saws coming out, you would have a winner. I'm thinking it would easily be worth $50-75 for a complete kit. you get them made and wholesale em to me...i'll take 30 kits to start.One of my clients is a spring manufacturer, I wonder if we could build spring AV retrofit kits for the 064 and other high vibe saws
I talked to them about making upgraded pawl springs for the 030/31/32. They were willing and the unit cost was tiny but the number of units to recoup the setup was huge to me at the time.

having searched without much luck, could you explain this mod please? I am contemplating a 36" bar but it currently can't oil more than 32". Thanks.With the oil pump mod.... No problem
just grinding the piston at a steeper angle is an increase in oil flow. jar944 is the one that did it...try searching for post by him and it should come up.having searched without much luck, could you explain this mod please?

That's kind of my point slim.
It's time to do something with my saws. They heat my house so I sorta need good running reliable saws. All of my saws are older models and although I try to keep them up they all have issues so maybe It's time to start upgrading or rebuilding to like new or better condition.
My husky 55 with an 18" is a GREAT saw that I use 90% of the time but muffler keeps coming loose.(like 3-4 times each season) (just ordered a new muffler and bolts)
More of an annoyance than a problem.
Husky 45 is gone I just haven't removed from signature.
My 390 with a 25" is actually a rejugged and rebuilt 310 that still doesn't run good. rebuilder says I need a new carb and for lack of a better idea I'm gonna order one once I figure out which one to order.
And my 064 needs an overhaul.
My goal is to have a 3 saw deal that uses an 18" - 25" - and 30" or longer
