064 Build

[K Mueller]

Been accumulating these parts for the last year or so and figured a little build was in order.

Gonna try to keep this build completely NOS aside from the jug and slug which have been previously ported and have about 30 minutes on them.

Some of the parts stacked on the table ready to go.

I see you're going with the Bing carburetor - good man.

Yes sir! Brand newbie

Cases came with bearings already in place. Thought a little heat would help the crank out a little.

Put a heat gun about 16 inches away form the case not directly on the bearings. Meanwhile the crank is in the freezer chillin

little Loctite 518 on the gasket and then placed it on the case... flywheel side dropped right into the bearing. Ended up pulling the clutch side in with the tool alternating the torx screws. Went together fairly easy.



Gasket trimmed

Seals are sealing

Waiting on some snap rings to show up so I figured I’d tackle the muffler mod

Out with the baffle


Matched the exhaust outlet.


Opened up the factory exit a little

Cut a hole in the opposite side and added a husky 288 deflector.

 

[K Mueller]

Done

Kyle, can you tack weld the nuts inside the muffler? I would.

Nice thread and build.

I’m starting a 064 build as well. I will be watching closely to learn all I can. Not my first Stihl but my first 064. Would you mind if I asked what’s your budget?

I don’t own a welder but was thinking about taking it to work and tacking them. Probably a good idea with no baffle in there. Thanks!

064s are pretty easy and straight forward to work on. Only thing I’m not looking forward to is the oil pump line.

I’m not sure on the budget honestly. I bought a new part whenever they were available as long as they weren’t priced too ridiculously. I’d say I have at least $1000 into this saw probably a little more

Some jug pics

Checked the squish with no gasket.

 

[K Mueller]

Cylinder is all set. Time to pressure and vac test and then work on the dreaded oil pump if the seals are good

Its just another overrated 064 thread anyways

About the oil line, I know this would not be appropriate for this build but wouldn’t Tygon work for a occasional use saw?

You'd need something a little more heat resistant

Pressured it up and had me worried for a minute. Pretty fast leak... got some soapy water and sprayed the seals, base and spark plug. Luckily the plug just needed tightened up.


Held 8 PSI and 10in vacuum no problem
