20150301_100429.jpg I have an 064 that says Magnum on the top cover.
Ive read that there is more than one style. Im not picky since I just have a nub sticking out of right side.
Thanks.

If you have the factory wrap handle you're pretty much stuck using the wrap compatible brake handle.

The 064 wrap compatible brake handle is hard to find, but you can adapt the 066/660 wrap brake handle easily.

064 didn't come with a decomp, as far as I know.

Someone probably switched the handle to a full wrap, then figured out they couldn't un-set the brake with the wrap handle on there, so they just took it off?

Could be. The one I have I got from a salvage yard for $20.00 last week. I brought it home and cleaned out the fuel tank, checked the compression after replacing the starter rope and it came to life! Not sure why it was in the junk pile. Gonna replace all the rubber parts and find a brake handle for it if I can

they are pretty incompetent, but I will check with them tomorrow. will probly have to space it out on the recoil side of my 064. I am still amazed at how hard it is to find a full wrap brake handle!
