Thanks, Steve. Not misguided to learn, but misguided as to what it might need.

Just seemed like its old and worn . Maybe not the case. Its actually seems better than it has in the past, after messing with the trigger mechanism, and putting in a new air filter, rather than just cleaning the old one. I was getting some poor performance. When I get some time, I'll look into...

A bit over my head, I but I'm learning from it. Thanks.

Thanks. It the gasket re-useable or replaced? What would I be buying to do this work (wrist pin on up, I think, if I follow the advice of "while you're in there, you might as well...")? I'm game to learn new stuff, and now I'm not relying on the 064 for a big oiler. No de-comp on it, nor...

Thanks, Al. What is the purpose of reducing the squish? Which is the blind end? The end opposite the crankshaft, or the opposite of the end opposite the crankshaft, aka the crankshaft end? (oiler and carb comment, again) Out of curiousity, how much is removed to get to that 23-25...

For the experienced mechanic, how long would this take, roughly? I'll multiply that time by 4. What is this "squish" thing that I've heard about? What do I need for a gasket/ sealant? I imagine something. Is there something that I need to get the rings compressed? What is this part about...

Really! :O That, and some knowledge.

As a preface, the most I've done with a saw is change an oiler, and a carb kit. What would I be doing to install a set of rings? Where would I find a step-by-step, if there is one? Cut4Fun's site? I'm fairly mechanically competent, and also know that I don't want to get in over my head...

So, like a lazy employee, the threat of being fired makes a better performer. Seems like its part my perception, and frustration with it. I bought is for a couple hundred dollars when I was running a whopping MS 361 maxed out with a 28" bar in softwood. I thought maybe I'd been duped buying...

Is the year of manufacturing marked on the saw at all, maybe in the serial number? Just curious.

I don't know enough about rebuilding to say what it needs. My saws have never needed it, and previous employers had good saws, or a saw mechanic. What are the general needs when rebuilding?

Gotcha. Wonder what it would take to rebuild such a saw, anybody? I'm going to go out and take some pics and video in a lil bit.

Seems like its been used and put up wet, which is why I wonder about a rebuild. I need to get some pics and a video for better input. Input so far is appreciated. I bought it for $325. If only it was in "solid, strong running condition". Its not raining, so I might go get some pics/...

Stihl 064. 36" Oregon bar in good condition with essentially new sprocket tip. Sharp .404 chain. Full wrap handle. New air filter and spark plug. I think I changed the fuel filter recently. I replaced the oil pump with an 066/660 pump recently. I have a new starter cord for it, but haven't...
