Stihl 064 AV Rebuild Quandry

[djlozar]

Good evening ASers. Been lurking for awhile but finally decided to say hello and show you a project I just started. I bought this 064 AV electronic quickstop last week. Good compression and it fired on the 4th pull. The guy I bought it from a fellow AS guy with lots of experience buying/repairing/selling chainsaws. I headed back home with a smile and intentions to tear it down as far as I needed to. Everything was going as planned until I found this crack. Its on the flywheel side and goes all the way thru, from what I gather.

Is the case toast? Or even worth messing with (ie: JB weld or equivalent)?

Bummed out in Montana.

Handle tanks are still available thru dealer.

If you need a new crankcase and tank/handle, you're probably better off finding a different saw.

Hello, Mike.

I have some parts I need to send out to you, one of these days.

064 is always worth fixing
A ported 064 runs circles around a 660 and makes lewd jokes about a MS661's mom.
Hey Mike, which case side did I send you two of that ended up being the wrong side?
If it the flywheel side, send one to Montana and I'll pick up the postage

Had an 064 with a crack on the flywheel side, too. Long story short, I ended up with two 1122 saws outta that deal. If you switch case halves, check which ignition system you have.

 

[glock37]

Yeah gotta have the same coil mounting bolt holes

Have to agree with Dave, I have a mate here with an 064, and its an absolute beast of a saw..he has gutted the muffler and that's it I think, but it sends chips for miles and eats anything....agree that it makes the 660 look weak. I've "hinted" many times I'd buy it in a flash. I'm in NZ, I have not seen many 064s to be honest. I haven't used his 064, but to me it seems every bit as grunty (if not more, to be honest) as my 661 when watching him cut. I enjoy just watching this beast doing what it does best.
Just my 2c worth, I'm no expert, but if I had the chance of an 064 over here I'd jump at it.

It's time to send that saw back for a refund.
