Carbs on 064s

[t_andersen]

Yesterday I wanted to order a carb kit for my Stihl 064. It seems that the 064 normally has Walbro WJ carbs and I can get a kit for that. However, I am puzzled because it says "Bing" on top of my carb. Will a Walbro carb kit then fit? I really don't want to take it apart for inspection before I have the carb kit in my hand because I need the saw regularly.

Thanks guys

I believe the 064 was one of a few saws that used a Bing carb on it. the Bing carb is VERY different from the Walbro model. the kit from a walbro will not fit it. you need to see the Stihl dealer and buy the proper kit.

Who needs a carb?

My German 038 M II has a Bing carb. Kits are pricey.

Mine HAD one, but I had the original seller swap the carb to a Tillotson HS. I sure as h??? dont wanna spend more than $11 on a carb kit.

You can get Bing carb gasket kits from Banta Saw for $11.67 Canadian.

Not the complete rebuild kit, but only about 9.25 US for a gasket kit for the Bing carb.

JJ was looking high and low for kits for the 064 Bing. Bantasaw only sells one Bing kit that I know of, and I bought it, and it's only for an 038. I think it was around $17 but I can't remember.

If I have to pay more than $11 for a carb kit, then so be it. I'm not going to park an expensive piece of equipment just because I'm cheap.

You can try Stihl and maybe order the individual parts, but I think it's NLA. Search for the thread, all the info is there.

Swap Bing for Walbro?

I can get a new Walbro carb for 064's at a price of 60 $. Any reason why I couldn't buy that one and install it instead of the Bing carb? Are they plugin replaceable? Thanks

According to the Walbro site, a WJ-34, WJ-48, WJ-6B, WJ-10A, WJ-76-318 will fit on an 064. If you can get one of these for $60 bucks they are plug and play.

I had a 064 here that had a Bing on it. I searched for a screw for the bottom of the carb. It was larger than 3mm and smaller than 4mm. Stihl was no help and had no listing for any parts for the Bing. I pulled out the 038 parts saws that had the Bing's. They were different. I ended up selling the saw to a tree service in the United Kingdom.
