Erm, no buddy, you don't own a Stihl, you must leave right now....

I bought a cheapo welding helmet...best thing I ever bought. Does the job very well, I also use pub gas CO2, built trailers, climbing irons etc, just great .. have faith in yourself.

Your saw has a spark, it fires, dont use easy start, check or blow out your fuel pick-up line and fuel filter.

Not being a smartass, but yep most of it looks just great, some bits of top plate not ground, but only little bits. also looks very roughly ground, was it done by machine?

Also 064's have a mild propensity to shearing woodruff key as they have some kick, if this has occured, your timing could be out a little. And their coils go goosed after a while. Don't know if this would give the symptoms which you are describing?

Lots of layers between air filter and cylinder on 064's make sure nothing is perished or a bit of sawdust inbetween any of the layers. Also impulse line may not shoe signs of holes but give it a blow to check for leaks.

Being sometimes a cheap ass, I used bottles of co2 from my mates pub for free...when welding steel etc. , also worked reasonably with stainless, but bought the tiny bottles of argon? for aluminium. But the pub shut now I bought a bottle for £70 quid, fill ups about £25 a pop.

OK, I have seen these but are they from years ago before modern bars? Not being silly here, but am I right in assuming they are vintage pieces

I just use rustoleum rattle cans after a good hours dismantling and washing with soap and water. normally get a good result.

Got a nice one here at £550

I just used a coil I had and one for an 026, pulled the flywheels off and removed the woodruff keys, then aligned the top magnet on the flywheel about a quarter of an inch above the coil, and bang, I was so lucky both worked fantastically well first time. I have no timing light or any other way...

Well thanks a lot you bunch of chuffs, I bought a couple of 064s where the seller said they were running backwards, and I got a weeks worth of everyone completely taking the p,ss out of me. However..I searched this forum and then removed the flywheel keys put in some random coils and timed the...
