The poor fellow was trying to cut 30 to 40 inch diameter logs with a Stihl 311, upon which he had ignorantly bolted a 32 inch bar...apparently thinking a long bar was the sole answer to his needs. The wide eyed look he held as the 064 cut straight and true rounds off in 1/10th or less the time...

Somehow I let this thread die...well 'eff me, it's 9 years ago. Remarkable :D. The end result of it came down to pure operator error. The 064 does not feature a half choke ignition switch position, something it took me far too long to cotton to. In my ignorance, I was full choking it when...

Cool.

Well, believe it or not, that's about what my pea brain conjured up :). Sorta Z shaped, in end profile, right? Thanks, Al.

I sure hope I never have ignition trouble. I can put in a carb kit or fuel line just fine...machining is beyond my capabilities. I can't even quite visualize what an offset key would look like :?.

But at least I haven't lost it to some thievin' tree rodent...those rascals have to be watched close, ya know :/:. :lol:

Such a fine, helpful young man, is my friend Brian. But I wouldn't dream of imposing on your generous spirit in such a thoughtless way. :D

The half of it that's already cured is under tarps, for sure. Nothing beats a solid woodshed, though. Nicer to look at off the back deck or living room picture windows, too.

My fine wife was absolutely right when she patiently observed that it's doubtful I'll need the 064 for maybe months, whilst the rain is falling on 4+ cords of firewood as I rebuild the woodshed :D.

Don't hold your breath on it happening this time either, Al :D. Woe is me...didn't even get the chance to work with the recalcitrant 064 this weekend. Priorities dictated working on the replacement woodshed instead. Soon, though. Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

No kidding, Magnus? :P :)

Wasn't but about 50 degrees. I hate flooding a saw, but maybe so.

Wednesday afternoon my wife and I cut a load of firewood, using my fine old Stihl 064, bucking 40 in. Doug fir. For the first time since I acquired the saw a few years ago I had some trouble from it. Starting cold first thing, no problem...full choke, 3-4 pulls 'til she popped, go to half...
