I traded a 031 rear handle for what I was told to be a running 066...

Now before I go to the beg for manuals thread Is there a way for me to determine what I have????

I was told that he has a box of parts to go with it I just have to wait for him to dig it out..

I was also told it runs but the kill switch does not work and the trigger sticks when pulled so I have not tried..

I really like the dirt dobbers nests that keep falling out :dizzy:

So is there a number on this thing I can run to see what this is???

Also if the P&C are good is this worth fixing???

for future reference, what are the tell tale signs visible on the outside of the saw?

(064, not the mud daubers nests)

064 for sure....I don't know what tipped Jacob J off, but I went by the narrow recoil cover.

Man, I'd part my 031 out in a heartbeat for that deal!:greenchainsaw:

Narrow recoil cover, old-style muffler, early-style fuel and oil caps, early-style carb screws grommet, early-style sprocket cover, early non-clear fuel tank (without chain-throw guard), metal trademark badge on starter housing, etc.

Not to mention the old air filter element. It is fun to see the evolution of this saw family. I have put together a bunch of frankensaws in the 064 and 066 flavor. Just a great design! My favorite is a late model 064, or an early flat top 066. No decomp, slim, light and loud. I have all run kinds of 064/066/ms660s, but those that I mentioned seemed to be the hottest runners.

I think this is gonna be a loooong project...

Boot bad several holes...Just guess how the piston look behind the muffler...It may have run but it would not have for long...

Cylinder looks like it had been clean up and honed put back together and run for a very short time.. There is aluminum on the exhaust side only. I guess I will try the poor mans fix before I go any further....I also wont to know what he has in his box of parts....

The aluminum was coming off nicely then I saw what appears to be a small pin hole...:censored:

Is this thing worth continuing on??? What is the worst case if it all clean up nice and I run it with a pin hole????
