Thinking of selling my 064

[Keith Gandy]

I'm gonna a run a straight up ported 064 alongside a ported 461 to see the difference.

I hadnt ran a straight 064 much. Once I ran the 066 topend on it I knew the 64 wouldnt go back on. I hear Treemonkey can make a 650 topend on it roar!!

The earliest pho 064 is 14.1lbs

You'll have to show me one on a scale. My 044 with big boy clutch cover and dawgs is about that much.

Every 064 I have seen on a scale has hovered closer to 15 lbs.

That weight I gave was off Stihls sight so Im not sure. My scale is broken or Id strip mine and weigh it

Pdf says 15.6 or 15.7 on 064 so its a lb heavier then a 7900 for 5.5 cc i will take 064 cant replace cubic in.

Feel free to strip it and place it on a scale and take a photo. I'll add it to my chainsaw weight archive.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Because I'm gonna test it.

Personally I dont get a saw to leave it stock much less anyone on here? If u r gonna test a 064 modify it to its full potential the same as your 461s are or u r pissin in the wind IMO

PDF and factory spec weights mean nothing. It's the main reason we started a chainsaw weight archive back on another site - manufacturers flat out lie or are incompetent when stating weights. Oftentimes when the weight is cited, it is without the clutch cover, which most would claim makes it very difficult to use a saw unless you want to run it hotsaw style. If you want to discuss weight with any real basis, you have to show the thing on a scale or quote the chainsaw weight archive. Otherwise, it's just speculation.

Mine isnt the earlier 064 but a later and I had pics of PHO at one time but I cant findem now. My scale power adapter is broken so no dice at the moment. Im pretty sure with a 066 topend on the 64 u wont find a lighter 91cc saw?

Did you read what I typed ?

I'm gonna run a ported 461 against a ported 064.

No tricks..straight up.

Whos porting the 064?

 

[sawmikaze]

Whos porting the 064?

Won't matter..its gonna kill my 461...right ?

But we'll just say Randy since 2 guys that live within 10 miles of me have 064s he did.

I'm sure he can make one roar...

But that's not what this is about, I wanna know by how much a ported 064 is gonna out cut my 461s in regular old logs.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Cant help u much with this 064 being a 064/066 and the 461 stock. Ill say the 461 balances like *s-word in hand compared to the 064

 

[Keith Gandy]

Pretty easy to see which one will balance better

If im looking at your postings isnt that a 064 in your first post at 15.43 lbs? If so thats only 3 ozs less of factory specs.thats pretty damn close.

I don't like ES bars Keith, they all seem front heavy to me (except the Light ones). My Chinese 660 balances perfectly with a 24" E bar, but unfortunately, they are NLA in 24".

The 20" E bars are much nicer on a 60 or 70 cc saw than the 20" ES bars also. I hefted a new 362 Ver II with a 20" ES bar in the shop and it was very front heavy. I would rather use a Ver I with a E bar and Ver II with an ES.
