New to me 064

[whitedogone]

Well, I really wasn't looking for a saw this big..... but it followed me home. She's a little rough but she started on the 3rd pull. I'll have to strip her clothes off and give her a good bath. The 20" bar has got to go. It just ain't right for a powerhead this big to wear such a small bar. Anything about the 064's that I should know? What was all the chatter about the coil/flywheel stuff here:

I hope I didn't waste $200 on her.

20" bar is for 60-70cc saw. For sure not a saw that nature of beast. Looks like a good find to me.

You did good. Matter of fact you stole it. The flywheel/coil talk was about the ones that have a rev-limiting coil. If it has the original air filter cover, it would have a sticker on it that says "Digital".

I have had a couple of them they are good saws and strong. They are very comfortable with a 24" or 28" bar. I run either a 24" or 28" with an 8 pin rim sprocket.

Invest on an elasto-start, it'll save your wrist. Good score

I don't know the cost but it's stihl part. Comes on 044, 046, 066 and on. It's an elastic pull cord.

Sorry, I'm slow. Doh!

 

[046]

ya done good!

my 064 wears a 20in bar some of the time, but mostly a 24in.

I just got my 064 up and running. I run a 28" sandvick speedtip bar. Thinking about going to a 32 or a 36 though.

 

[lovetheoutdoors]

nice find...those are very good saws..good power to weight for a big saw.

I'm thinking of a 24 as well. Maybe a 28. But to a lowly midwast farmer that thing just seems huge. I've never owned a saw with anything longer than a 18.

Anybody know where I can get a owners manual and/or service manual? WDO
