Stihl 064 Rebuild and Restoration!

[treeslayer2003]

I have seen all three! The multi peice I believe will give the best chance to not have a fuel line failure. I do not like how the rubber lines have to twist and bend through the carb box on some saws. When I inspected the line on my MS310 after the piston got toasted you should have seen the areas where it had a strong bend! Wish I would have taken a picture of that.

ok, that makes sense then, i'll put it back as it came from the factory.

i don't see a chance to replace one piece with three piece though..........i have two goin on here.

Hey dan...Stopped by harbor freight today to check on this bearing driver set mastermind was talking about but came home with this instead. Just pressed some bearings in on an 036 case...no heating, no beating, no burning myself, just a few cranks and she's home!! Any progress on yours?? I'm droolin over here waitin to see yours get finished up

 

[PA Dan]

Sweet! I was going to get the bearings in and case together tonight but a 12 hour shift and family commitment came first! Ill have everything ready and it will happen tomorrow evening!

Did you get your parts from Walter's?

 

[PA Dan]

Yes thats where the top cover and a couple small parts came from!

 

[Nate66n1]

Got some 084 parts from them, seem like nice people

 

[Mastermind]

Be careful pressing them in.

Slightly cocked.......and the case is fubared.

 

[PA Dan]

Ok everything is set in place and ready for tomorrow!

Oil pump is gutted and back in place!

 

[Nate66n1]

A little wd-40 helps when pressing them in also

Ya I have talked with Barbara a couple times. Very nice and knowledgeable!

Randy-Is there an advantage to using a heat gun over just putting the crankcase in the oven to heat it up?

 

[Mastermind]

Just convenience. That's the only advantage I see.

How do I get hold of them? Are they a dealer that stocks old parts?

This is one informative thread. I think I'd like to try rehabbing an 036 with a shot crank, and, well, seems like the older saws are being obsoleted.

Thanks for this thread.

I forget the website off hand, you can google walters obsolete parts and it should come up

I've seen the factory finish blister in the oven, even at lower temps.

Good to know thanks Brad! What about heating the bearings up would that help any?

 

[blsnelling]

If anything, you would chill the bearings, but I don't think that's really necessary.

Damn, how hot you cooking it to? You don't need to heat it much past the normal operating temps.....if you freeze the bearing.

 

[blsnelling]

I forget the temp, but it wasn't that high. 2xx
