Stihl 064 Tribute Build

[Evansaw]

Hi

Got myself a very rough 064 from my father's friend who passed away.

I was thinking to keep it for parts but being in this forum with all you guys got me in a rather strange idea.

Gonna built this saw with as little new or replaced parts as possible just enough to make it live again as it did for decades. I m sure most of the people would have gone the other way to put NEW or NOS parts.
Myself I wanna keep it THIS SPECIFIC SAW as a tribute to my father's friend. At least for now may change this while on it.

The saw was off due to ignition coil i was told. But the picture i ve got once I took it was dirt, heavy use, the dirtiest muffler i ever saw full of ashes etc.

This build gonna take long it's no rush as money and time are not the best at the moment

So let's have a look...

The plastics (top cover) and flywheel are date stamped 1990.

Fuel tank is solid not the usual one which you can see fuel quantity

Anyone can help with serial number it starts as 123xxx

First time i see even in the forum "brownish filter mesh"

 

[Evansaw]

Ignition coil Made in West Germany but cannot read number

Flywheel dated 1990 seems Made in Yugoslavia? ISKRA...

Red lever 064

Started cleaning and rubbing by hand only using Stihl Ultra Clean on parts and plastics...i know it's kind of loosing time and getting tired but again it's an emotional reason to handmade as much as possible

One of the dirtiest mufflers ever seen and the deflector seems rather weird the chainsaws you guys have are different. Seems too small to modify

 

[Evansaw]

They look pretty clean now but i ll get back to them

 

[Evansaw]

Mahle jug seems ok i can clean and use

 

[Evansaw]

Mountain people!!! Patent anything to keep em running!
That's gonna change though...

 

[Evansaw]

Just a carb kit and this Walbro 10 gonna work fine

 

[Evansaw]

I can clean this piston but seems i just gonna put a new one
There is a play in the crank no like for that...

[Evansaw]

I ll have to paint it for sure, on a second thought it's not that bad

 

[Evansaw]

I ll keep it as it is!!! Great for noodles!!! Pretty sure i can compete with @Definitive Dave and win with this one!

Now i m gonna need your help
Brake has serial number 1122 792 9100
But Stihl bnet don't recognize this code for nothing not even another saw...Today for 066 they have 9103 and for 064 they have 9102

Any input? Is this correct Brake for the saw?

She's used, but she'll cut again.
Look forward to seeing the progress.
