    I have a poly flywheel 066 for sale. It has dual big dawgs, aftermarket but not sure what name. Has highly sought after OEM non decomp piston and cylinder on it. Its not a beauty queen by any means but it's still in decent shape for an older used saw. I plan on making a video tomorrow, hopefully. Just a heads up, the saw is not quite as ''bright'' as those HD photos make it look. As far as I know, all this saw needs is the plastic decomp plug to plug the decomp hole in the top cover. I have one on order, but it's back ordered!!!And as of yesterday they didn't have a projected ship date! The decomp plug is only cosmetic. Also, the top cover has a crack in it toward the brake handle. Saw is powerhead only. Asking 600.00 including the shipping in the lower 48 states paypal as a gift, or add 3% if you don't feel comfortable using the gift option.

    No decomp? o_O Sounds like an arm breaker,just like my old Poulan Pro 475/rebadged Partner 7700/Jred 2077 was.

    Na, it's not bad at all. Just gotta be committed when you pull it is all.

    U can easily start them without Docomo. You just have to fully commit to doing so !

    That's the zombie killer right there! Assuming you have enough arm left after starting it that is.:p Nice looking saw.

    Those aren't bad to start. They have a decent sized starter.

    So, why is the non-decomp cylinder desirable?

    Better port timing, smaller combustion chamber, an all around better runner than the later ones.

    Ah, so it's better because of differences that coincide with the lack of a decomp, but the lack of a decomp itself isn't what's important.

    I have an 064 that's non-decomp, and thought maybe it was even better than I thought...

    The 064 are usually great runners also. I have one at home now waiting on me to get there and try it out.

    What exactly does "Docomo" stand for? This is the only Docomo that I'm familiar with and they ain't starting chainsaws here. https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/

    I've barely used mine since I finished fixing it up. It's great fun, but it's also out of scale with the rest of my firewood-gathering equipment. I haul wood in a Subaru station wagon and hand-split everything, so I'm not typically going after the really big trees. My 064 may end up listed here before long.

    Yup, non decomp is just the way the good cylinders are identified. All 064s are non decomps, but the earlier ones with the KS cylinders seem to be better runners than the later ones....which lays true with a lot of older Stihl chainsaws.

    Decomp.. not Decomo.

    Decomp = Decompression (button)
