It really depends on condition. If the top end is no good I wouldn't pay much for it. The thin rings are next to impossible to find, and not a lot of cylinders floating around as well. If it has 135psi or more I would run it. They are 155 psi brand new so 135 isn't to bad. Hopefully it's in decent shape and you get a great saw out of the deal. If you get it for 150 you would be doing pretty good I think.
How is your p62 doing?
Not too bad but could run better. Modifying the intake is a real challenge with this model family and I went with the wrong carb set up. I need to use one with a smaller venturi, but with big carb fuel flow. I went the wrong way and made too much of a bottleneck at the reed valve.
Have you tried a sdc 80 on it? I have had good luck with those carbs on the 5 and 6 cube Pioneer's. If you don't mind sharing a pic, I would love to see what you did to the reed block.
I made it into a two stage but couldn't really enlarge the passage much. I'm not sure if I have an sdc80 or not, but I have a few carbs to use that should make it right. One of these days I'll get back at it.
My p61 western came with the 2 stage reed and the sdc 80 new back when my grandpa bought it. It's a really good combo that works well on the pioneer's. Did you make your 2 stage reed, and if so where did you get the material from. I would rather make it then spend 50 bucks on it.
I made this one. Some P41's and 42's came with the carbon fiber petals and I robbed the parts off one of my carcasses.
Thanks! He made it sound like it was tired, but the saw itself seems to be in good shape as it does apparently run still.
So did you end up with the saw?
I have to fix his other saws first, they are in the line up so it'll be a week or so before he comes back.
Good deal, with a few minor mods they can be great runners.
Did the p60 ever show up?
Unfortunately the customer changed his mind and doesn't want to sell it anymore. haha SO....I have a Super 620 on the way instead. lol
