More thin firewood. :D ;D
That's not firewood, that's dinner plates! Got to get food in there, some where. 8)
i dig the black, it sounds great, good job!!
Thanks, the funny thing is that it wasn't running worth a crap. Yesterday I re-set the timing and put an 8 tooth sprocket on it. When I toke the plug out I almost crapped ten brick, I look at the plug and come to find out it was running way too rich. :-\
I'll run it sometime next week, I'm curious as to what kind of rpm's it's going to pull at.
Looks real nice. Is the cylinder thick enough in the back to add boost ports?

I know what you meant, but they're finger ports and transfer directional ports. Yes the cylinder walls are thick enough. I over did it a little on this saw with the finger ports, carburetor and crankcase. It's a real pain to tune.
Also, I ran it yesterday with a 36" bar in some gnarly 55" sugar maple, and it stomped through it.
I still have my 1986 Stihl 064 I bought new in '86. Best power to weight saw I ever logged with 14.1 lbs-85cc.
I retired it a few yrs later and in the late '80s to early '90s used it for racing only. Alot of good memories from the many PNW and western Canada timbershows.
In 1988 I installed 4 deeeeep finger ports ,25 thou off the cylinder, 50 thou off the piston intake skirt, 084 carb, tuned exhaust pipe. I later built a new cylinder with oversized transfer covers, cutoff head and was toying with a circle crank. Thats about the time when it sat on the shelf for good.
But today in 2010 she still rips. 8)
