if you get a new intake boot youll need the newer carb box the flange on intake boot on older boots are wider than the newer boots
you ll get a air leak

Big build up then can't seal the deal. Typical sconnie.

I grabbed a few parts to try to clean up today, but after being off of work for a week, who knows what type of shìtshow I'm walking into..

Yessir - that's the style. They work pretty good but eventually the retainers wear out and need replaced.

I aim to disappoint.
Plus, aren't you only here for the WV sheep boats?

Thanks for the info. I have the intake with me, and it's in good shape, no cuts, gouges and still pliable, so it will get used again.

Thanks. I will just run it as is then until it JMS's itself.

Sure he's not the only one...

What's you dudes consensus on this piston?
It's got some shiney spots at the bottom edge of the skirt. None of the visible smear marks can be felt.



The rings are a bit wide for the bore...



So, order piston and rings because I'm right there or order rings and carry on?

@redline4 Put in a new set of Cabers, clean up the piston and call it a day.

That's kind of where I was leaning.
Usually by the time I'm this far in the piston is obviously junk. Thanks for the verification.

I'd replace that piston. I see no machining marks towards the top by the rings. Usually when those all all gone the skirt is worn 0.004" or more.

Looking at it in person, the only machine marks are above the top ring land.
I also see no indication that's its a Stihl piston? They are typically proud of their shìt, and nowhere on it is a Stihl logo or name now that I really look at it.
Dunno..

While I was waiting for a radio to program I set the case up to drain the bar oil



And gave the tank a quick scrub in the parts washer.


Luckily I was able to salvage this decal so that people know it a legit model 311y

That's my opinion. 064s were built to take a lot of wear and I've seen them still running with substantial piston slap.

That piston is well worn. Toss in a Meteor and it'll give you all the cutting you'd ever want.

I like the finger in the plug hole drop the bare piston test to determine replacement status. YMMV, especially with this group.

I'm going to need you to do a video demonstration, kthanks.

Thanks Steve!
I just put on in a shopping cart but was waiting until I knew I didn't need anything else.
