064 vs 066

[mdavlee]

Thanks to your posts on the old fourm

I now know why people like these saws!!!

I really like them. I won't hardly pick up a 90cc saw now except to mill. I run a 34" on my 046 and that's enough. 7900 will do it but it doesn't have a wrap handle. It's going to be built for play soon any way

just won a wrap for mine this week off of ebay.

A 064 is a thing of beauty and should be worshipped at a high level.

They also can be very strong with the 52mm cylinder or you can put a 066 cylinder on them and make a hybrid.

I build gobs of 064 hybrids.

I've had my 064 since new.

I used to have an 064.

I'm gunna use the 64 and 66 tomorrow, both are ported. I'll report back Brews

Anyone got any detailed info on the 066 red light swap to an unlimited coil?

I know it was discussed else where somewhere else but it got confusing

From memory I need to use either a dual key alloy flywheel or a polly flywheel.

The polly flywheel needs the bigger crank fitted, which needs a later model longer case fitted, so I might as well just get an MS660

I want to keep the red light with its original low volume short case so will the dual key alloy flywheel fit the small shaft crank that's in it now?

 

[Brewz]

I also recall reading somewhere that the red light flywheel would work with the red light and unlimited coil, or was it the dual key flywheel would work with both coils?

I cant remember.

Up in the technical section DDave has all the possibilities in one thread

I believe the 064 is a good deal lighter than the 066, so power to wt is VG.

It must be horrible for a guy yer age to admit he's getting older.....



wait till you actually GET older....( I think that is around the time when you say..."i hardly use anything other then my ported 346/026")

I really can't take the vibes of a 64/66 for long at all. The 46 or 7900 is strong enough I don't really notice a power loss with the 34".

I got an old "hacked up" 385xp you should run some day.....


pretty smooth for a light weight saw....( us ol guys can't swing the 90cc saws much anymore either....but I can still swing 85cc purty good when its ported right.. !!! )

Not tried one. It's got to be the frequency of them. A 46 doesn't bother me. A 66 on the mill with padded gloves and grip tape has my hands numb for hours.

i dont know why,but i keep taking my old 064 out firewood cutting,and leaving my 460 at home.
probly cos its more beat up.

Ya I can see the non stop for long periods would do it

Yep. Cutting 10 cookies with a 66 will do it. I wish it didn't. It reminds me of a 9" wildcat grinder.
