Hello. This is my first post and I was wondering if anybody has done this. I'm a stihl fanatic. I like buying train wrecks. Fixing them and either selling or keeping them.
I currently own:
Stihl,
017
20T
210
039
066
1965 homelite super wiz.
1974 McCullough min Mac 30
And a not sure of year wright reciprocal saw. Looks to be mid 60's.
All runners except the 66 the wiz and the wright. Stihl 66 is a basket case. Wiz is 75% done. Wright has compression but 30 year old gas. That's my next project after the wiz.
Enough about me. My 066 needs a jug and piston.
66 has a 40 mm stroke. 88 has a 43 inch stroke. Assuming they are both the same design can I buy a jug and piston for an 88 and bolt it onto my 66 and adj carb accordingly?
I have a friend that was in need of a big saw. I got a 66 off eBay a while back. It needed a jug and piston. I bought the big bore kit and ported the muffler. WOW! I was impressed. So impressed I bought the basket case 66. Then I got to thinking about an 88 jug on mine instead of a 66 big bore kit.
