066 big bore

[68kaiser]

I just got the thing put together and ran it this weekend. I helped a friend cut a pine tree up. We did not have a tape but my 42'' bar didn't get all the way through in parts of it. The 066 loved it, the people there where in ow at how it cut. I felt a tingle in my pants as it was buried and i could use the dogs to lay into it.

The saw ran great all weekend but the 2nd to the last round fell over on my saw and broke the full wrap handle. Has anyone used the ones that Baileys has? are they worth the $100?

How long will people nay say a $115 P&C kits that run like these things do? Again, here's mine in 36" Ash.

Come on down to the GTG Saturday and we'll find out:hmm3grin2orange:. We need to bolt a BB kit on your 064. That's a project I'd like to do.

I would love to, but ya know the drill. Too far away and I have to work. I want to try a BB 066 on an 064, but mine is fresh and full of steam after Lakesides rebuild, hopefully I will never have to take the cylinder off it. Wont be long, and I will catch hold of an 066 project.

 

[blsnelling]

I would love to find a deal on a seized up 064 to put a ported BB kit on. It's only 1/2 # heavier than a 046 and have the power of my 066. Maybe even a tad more if it's got a smaller crankcase volume!

 

[Bowtie]

There is a good project for you then. They are on Ebay all the time. I am surprised to see as many as I have the past few weeks, in all kinds of conditions. I do see more without the HD filter setup than with.

Hey Brad, with the same case and crank, do you think the 064 and 660 weights are right?

Try this...

Dear 68kaiser,

Check the insulation on the plug wire to see if there are any problems, perhaps that will take care of the tingle in your pants.

Otherwise you might want to be careful how you "lean on it".

Hey Bowtie. If you think of it sometime, could you weigh your 064 power head empty? I'll try to get a weight on my 066.

I have one on my 288XP. I LOVE IT!!! Super strong, very durable. I wish they made more. I like how the actual handle itself goes around farther than the others. The others are more like 3/4 wrap if you ask me. Nothing but good luck with mine as far as that goes...

eh?

Well, if you really want to do one, I'll send you my 064 and $115 and you can do mine for me.

If I get around to it, I want to do a BB with my 064 this winter. I'm really looking forward to seeing what she'll do with the additional cc's.

So you're giving me your 064 and you're paying for the BB kit?:hmm3grin2orange:. Mighty generous of you!

Affirmative. I like the feel of these better than stock bars.

Hey Brad, with the same case and crank...

But they're not...

Although I do think they're closer to an 066 than an 046, but I've been wrong.

I just read the component(not assembly) IPL numbers.

Was that tree hollow? I thought I saw a big Ash hole.:hmm3grin2orange: oke:

LOL. Yes, but the colon wasn't very long. Only the first couple pieces were hollow.

I don't know what the weights are for each, but I can tell you the 064 is indeed lighter than the 066. I also think there might be some variation within the 064 production years, the early ones appear to be lighter... but I have no idea what they changed.
