Stihl 064 Clutch Question

[litefoot]

When I tore down the 2 064's I'm using in my rebuild project, I noticed there was no cover washer between the worm/spring and the clutch assembly on either saw. The 064 IPL I have shows it there. Both clutch assemblies were torqued down really tight, so I would assume they weren't scavenged. Did earlier 064's not have one?

The first one I rebuilt didnt come with one either. I know the bottom end hadnt been apart before.

The older 064s did not have the clutch washer and don't try to put one behind the clutch when you re-install; it will bind up the oil pump worm gear. If you buy a new/newer clutch for your 064 then you'll be able to use the clutch washer.

The old clutches on the early 064s had a different type of retainer on the clutch shoes and they act as the clutch washer.

Thanks, guys. That's just what I needed. Tried to rep you both, but only got JJ. Got to wait a bit for you, Jason.

LOL, I could care less about rep, I just like it when people like JacobJ post, always good information.

I was just searching old posts on putting a 12mm crank in a 10mm case, and JacobJ's post helped a lot. Helped make it hard to decide whether to do it or not, lol!
