[justin131]

looking for some advice on replacing the pot and piston in a 064 I got recently. came with a cheap chinese one didn,t last long. are there any good after market parts? would it be a lot more work to increase the bore?

cheers

Meteor do a piston and pot for the 064. Used countless meteor pistons and 3 pots (1 Husky, 2 Stihl), all very good.

 

Part is (cc) 1832 I think.

meteor look good i'll give them a try. does anyone know if a 54mm will fit a 064 without having to modify the crankcase?

2nd Metior BUT check why the other one failed first . Possible air leak ........

Some 54mm P&C's will fit without a problem, others won't. Depending on how old the case is you'll need to adapt the holes in the cylinder base to fit and it's best to change the bolts from M5 (064) to M6 (066). When these changes are needed, you'll probably also need to grind a little bit on the cases to clear the piston.

 

I've got a old 064 here with a 066 P&C on it and that fits without adapting anything, just replaced the crank, case and piston (new Meteor) and that happened to fit also. The original case had 1.1 stamped on it, the new one is stamped with 2.1. So hard to say when a 54mm will or will not fit without trying it out.
