Hello All,
I have had for a few years what I thought was an 064. The top engine shroud does cover the recoil starter all the way and there is a little gap. I have always thought the saw was close to my old 394xp in weight, but never really paid attention to it. I needed to do some work on it and was taking it apart and now I am thinking it may be a 066 with a 064 cover on it. It has a single keyway flywheel not poly, I tried the stick in the cylinder and then measured it and it comes up at 54mm which would be the 066. Even though the cylinder is the 54 that still could have been someone putting a bigger cylinder on the saw. It doesn't appear that the cylinder bolt holes were enlarge however which would indicate that it is a stock 066. No decompression valve so it would be a flat top 066 if it is that. Any other things to check to ensure it actually is a 066 instead of a 064? Need to replace oil pump, worm gears and possible crank seals so want to narrow down what it is for sure. Got the saw super cheap a few years back and kind of exciting to see it may actually be a bigger saw then I always thought it was. Thanks to all.
