Barn find

Evidently the early 125's used the larger coil while the later used a smaller like on the 10 series .Both mine are the 10 series size .My IPL's are dated 1970 and 1977 . I didn't check the micro fiche which is dated later . It doesn't make any difference because seldom does a Mac points type coil fail .

So it likely just needs a wire and probably clean the points then?

That and a 7-10 to compliment it.

Lmao one these days when this one stubborn guy is done with his.

Might not even need the points set but it might not be a bad idea .You'd be surprised ,I've seen those reed valvers sit a long time and light off .Usually the carbs need a rebuild .

What's your thought's on the fixed jet carb? It looks like the sdc20 isn't to easy to find, but I would like to maybe go that route.

Fixed jet--don't like them .The Mac 105 I have had one which I replaced with a fully adjustable from a 125 .As I understand it they used the fixed jets to cut down on warrantee work caused by people running them too lean.Most reeders need to run just a tad on the rich side to get the most out of them .The fixed jets had the main jets sized for the altitude where the saw was sold at.That said a fixed jet won't hurt them .
I'm not sure what I did with that fixed jet but I think I hung it on a 7-10 .However it could be in one of the coffee cans full of carbs hiding in my garage.Damned cans are elusive,they hide very well

I think I'm going to need to clean the cylinder before trying to start it. I will know more when it shows up.

What other carbs can be used besides the sdc20 that are fully adjustable? So far still no luck tracking down a sdc20.

Damn. I wish I could help you out but I sold this one to someone on this forum a while back... @sawfun maybe? This one came on my P60, but a guy (Arrowhead on AS) gave me an NOS carb at some point so I figured I didn’t need it.

 

[sawfun]

Sorry, but my few extra SDC 20 carbs are long gone.

I bet Ed gave you a sdc80 witch is a great carb on the 6 cube Pioneer saws.

Seems like that's what I keep running into lol.

 

[p61 western]

Looks like it will be showing up today. If so there will be more pics later.

 

[p61 western]

Well it made it home thankfully. Got lots of pics coming up.

 

[p61 western]

More pics after some cleaning.

 

[Steve]

Awesome!

Now you have to start a build thread like you made me and @Bigmac do!

 

[p61 western]

And yet some more. I want to document this pretty good.

 

[p61 western]

Lol I will probably just do it here instead of starting another thread. If I should start another one I will though.

 

[p61 western]

Hopefully tomorrow I will start tearing it down. I'm pretty happy the bore looks great. It seems like it must have sat for most of it's life. I'm very happy with what I see so far.

Fine with me as long as we see lots of pictures since... I cant read
