Interesting tank vent. Mine are black stacks. Lol

Very cool and informative thread. Makes me wanna start looking for my 064 project, but I gotta work muh saws right now.

I personally don’t see the point in getting an 064... a 288xp is a better saw, and it looks like you’ve already got one of them.

I need to run a good 288. I'm in the opposite camp on this as you. I have and really like 064's. The only 288 I've ever ran was a slug in the power department. I've become jaded to the legend of the 288 since then.

 

[stihl_head1982]

Nope no boat...but even if I did, I got a couple 075's hangin out around the garage I'd dedicate as anchors befor an 0 deuce fo. I keep a 24 with a hedge clippers attachment. They're handy little engines.

I've seen those hedge clipper attachments -- they are absolutely neato (and very rare I might add).

Just want to diversify my humble collection. I’d like an 064 because it has a reputation similar to the 288 amongst the Stihl bros.

I here ya on that. Until recently my stock 288 never really blew my socks off because of the power, I simply liked how it felt and how it would lug down but keep on cutting with its old school power. A few weeks ago I changed the rim from an 8 to a 7 pin...what a difference! My 288 is much happier with a 7 pin sprocket and cuts like an animal now.

Yea they're cool. Kinda heavy. I have one on an old 1114 020avp too. It's a little lighter than the 024.

288’s are cool but the real legend is the 394xp imo. Talk about a 066 killer.

 

[RI Chevy]

Aye. Ding, ding, here we go.

Aye. Ding, ding, here we go.

I stuck my hand in the hornets nest this morning I’d say

288’s are cool but the real legend is the ported 394xp imo. Talk about a stock 066 killer.

Fixed. LMAO

 

[huskyboy]

Fixed. LMAO

Stock vs stock it was as fast as a 661... 20 years its junior

 

[RI Chevy]

Just funnin ya. They are all good!

 

[XP_Slinger]

I think 066 vs 394 is an unfair comparison. 066/660 land right in between 390 and 394/5 in displacement. There’s really no fair way to compare them in my opinion. Would you compare a 372 to a 461??? Nope, different class of saw. Like Jeff said, they’re all great cutting big dawgs, I’d proudly own any one of them.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

And yet people compare the 288 (87cc) and the 066/MS 660 (91.6cc) all the time.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

My 394 that Mr. Carr tampered with blows my socks off every time I run it

Anywho, lots of good info about the 024/026 family shared here. Thanks fellas, very helpful

 

[huskyboy]

There’s a answer for the 46/461.... 372xpw.

Or a 576 XP.

 

[RI Chevy]

AND Stihl 462!!!! LOL

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Got a chance to do some basic cleaning on the 024 today. It will get better when I tear it down for the rebuild, but it cleaned up pretty good I'd say.

 

[RI Chevy]

Looks nice!
