Saw builds

You gotta check and see if it squats when it pees. Lol

So what about a bubble top 066?

Would that be an acceptable candidate?

It has the big cases.
A aluminum flywheel saw can be stronger than the poly.
The tight cases make a difference

So it takes a square top 066 w/ an aluminum flywheel?

I take it all Bubble top 066 had the Poly Flywheel

Got It.

Ok so then I have to check my parts...I have what came to me as a parts saw but was completely and together. It has a bubble top and decomp cylinder. It has a poly flywheel but has the short case!

I'd suggest just running it..
Don't really wanna go poking around in there...
And stuff..

It doesn't have to be a old flat top to be strong,you can put a good cylinder on a 660 and help it but if you want one as strong as it can be then you need a old short case saw and a good cylinder.
064 or a early 066 will be the strongest

Only way it can be that way is from machine work.
The flywheel side case is different between the two

i guess i got lucky i have 2 of the small case aluminum flywheel 066s and now really lucky one is ported

Are all the metal fw saws short case? One of them in my pile has a metal fw.

Yep

 

[PA Dan]

I may be in need of some parts then! Ugh!

 

[dall]

very thick base on the cylinder there

 

[jmssaws]

That looks like short cases but your flywheel and recoil are 660.
Does the flywheel fit the crank?

 

[jmssaws]

That exhaust port isn't factory

 

[huskihl]

Yep

Well futnay. I guess I'll have to get going on another one

 

[huskihl]

That exhaust port isn't factory

Looks ported

 

[jmssaws]

I know how a 395 can run,I have one.
Don't see me running it with stihls much for a reason. I can beat it in certain situations and not others. I beat it with a 36" once but maybe not the next time.

The saw came to me as a complete saw with a scored piston, busted recoil and cracked clutch cover. I know I took the flywheel of of the saw. This was sometime last fall so I don't remember exactly how it came apart. I don't remember anything unusual? Jay I sent you a picture of the inside of that jug last year before Christmas when we were talking 066's. Can't seem to find it now.
