How many different case gaskets are there for an 066?

That's what I thought. This one's a short case too?

That's a long case

I couldn't wait.
The rat 064 project was ready to go minus a new carb that's in the mail.

I pulled the bing apart and its really good inside so I thought.... Bugger it, I want to fire this thing up.

Bolted on the bing 49 carb and off she went.

All I can say is WOW.

It just sounds angry, with a real punchy crackle to it.
Its super snappy, hell, it goes kinda like one of them saws Jason builds.

Cant wait to get it in some timber now

Its nowhere near tuned.
I just tweaked the carb to get it so it would idle and rev.

Nice! Sounds almost as good as a dolmar...

Thanks mate.
I pulled the cord twice and realized I forgot to switch it on.

Jay, can I ask what your tuning method is to get the best from these things?
I know its going to be a bit different with every saw but I would like to pick your brain on method.

At the moment, on a saw like this that has been fired for the first time, I get it so it will idle and rev then lean it and see what max revs are.
I adjust LA to get it to lean up to about 3200 and then richen it out to a nice idle.

It works but I am wondering if there are ways to get a better tune for that super snap of the throttle?

 

[jmssaws]

I rarely use the la,it's usually backed out and not touching.

I start at 1 and 1 with the la not touching,get it hot and turn the low in till I hear it go lean,listen for the tone change,then I back it just off lean and set the high to whatever you want.

 

[jmssaws]

There's a sweet spot for throttle response close to lean,seems every saw I tune is a little less than 1 on the low and a little more than 1 on the high for 13.5 and 3/4 and 3/4 for 14.5

 

[Brewz]

Cheers mate

I will upset the neighbors tomorrow and give that a go.

 

[Brewz]

Works well.
Idle sitting fairly steady on 2760 and goes to full speed in the blink of an eye running an 8 pin sprocket.

The muffler I have on it is the equivalent of a G string, and damn its loud!

Here's my tuning nightmare

 

[Brewz]

Do you guys running max flow filters use wet or dry type filter oil?

 

[jmssaws]

I use klotz filter oil that's in a spray can.

 

[jmssaws]

I got a 10pin to play with but I had to use a 18" for the wide tail and I don't have a very good chain for it but I had to see how hard they are the run,it takes ponys to run one.

 

[Brewz]

I have one of these to try running on my 064, just for so fun

Jason. Is retuning necessary when you switch rims?
