The powdercoat job looks awesome brotha.

I can't wait to see this one done. The suspense is killing me.

Thanks!!

just ordered the BB kit and a bunch of other crap. gotta go to the stealership Saturday and order the rest of the parts. Im sure ill get shafted on the crank bearings. The old ones are fine but i wouldnt feel right...

Ill probably order a wrist pin and c clips (as suggested by a member) form stihl but will the stock one fit the BB just a little shorter rite?

Also i'm debating what to do with the 1/2 wrap. There are some scratches on the black but idk how to get the grip off and be able to reuse it. i have to buy 16' of it to get any...

was it running lean? did you tune it after rebuild?

yes, my dad did, he ran saws most of his live ,also ran a saw shop for over 10 years, i dont know what happen to the saw. it sucks .

not sure, that sucks hope i have better luck.

Going well Matt, really well indeed.

Why should you invest so much effort and invest on a BB kit if you intend to sell the saw later on?

I say keep the saw. You'll see money will show up later.

I'm not going to want to sell it but i need the money these days. I could probably sell the 660 and make more but ill get killed since i payed 1200 for it... chances are ill keep it until a friend needs it for a fair price.

Got my baileys order yesterday. that was pretty fast!

Cylinder kit looks pretty good. little wobbly around the ports but it should work fine.

Also got to the Stihl dealer yesterday and order up my parts ill post the sheet with prices for reference.

Shoot, I can barely afford lunch at the moment. Were gearing up for our #3 addition to the family. She should be here in a week or so. Anyways thanks for the offer.

BTW, that 046 seeing any wood lately?

The flywheel side is generic, you can get them online or at a local bearing supply for $2 - $10. Just make sure to get one with a C3 rating.

Clutch side is available only from Stihl.

Howdy Evan, I can't wait to see and hear how it does!?
I picked up an 066 from another member here and it runs great, but my 064 will out do it hands down! Now I don't know is my 064 was pumped up, or if the 066 is getting tired?
I just think someday I may want to re-build the 066 like Matt here...however, I don't have a sand blaster or an airless painter?
Awesome job Matt, keep the pic's coming!

 

[Evan]

you dont need to paint anything.

i clean the plastic up on mines and leave the paint how it was. plastic makes a huge improvment
from the bottom of my 066

then spitshinned and cleared plastic

matt is realyu doing a heck of good job with his. i dont have the patience for the kinda restoration

NICE rebuild thread.

one off topic question -
If you were rebuilding it for yourself would you go with stock paint scheme or custom?

Well congratulations. I here you on the money situation i hate having to sell any of my Eq but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm enjoying the rebuild tho.

Probably stock like my 046. I could make a saw a crazy color.... maybe someday not sure what color tho. Titanium blue or something might look cool.

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

If i could get my plastics that nice I would be amazed. Is it just clear coated? what type of sandpaper. I sandblasted original finish off the used 600 wet.
