IEL-Pioneer thread

I have 5 RA`s and the other 4 are all darker yellow with one having a distinct orange tint to it, like a sun bleached oranges on a tree.

Mine is the same color as the bottom RA. Jealous of your collection. lol

 

[Basher]

Was that p62 a boost port? I thought I remembered something of that sort from the other Pioneer thread.

It wasn`t when I got it but it is now, two stage Boyesan reeds, reed block opened a smidge, port work and timing advance, carb bored and slightly enlarged jets.

Exposure to the sun and elements will cause the paint to fade on outer covers, look inside the clutch cover or under the top engine cover to find the best preserved original color.

P65

P65

That would be a cool saw to find, but pretty rare. For now I will prolly just do some work to my p62.

What carb are you running on your p62? Right now I'm running a sdc 80 on mine.

I need an sdc80 to try on my P62's as both are dogs. Anyone
got an extra to spare.

Even with the sdc 80 I would still like more power. My p61 western is by far more powerful. I think I'm going to do some grinding on the cylinder.

Here is a link to one for sale brand new. http://www.mowers4u.com/walbro-sdc801-walbro-carburetor-engines-pioneer-p-4425.html

That's how I feel about my P62's. Both run excellent but lacking the power
that my other big P series have. I have P 60's and 61's that run and pull great.
The 655's I have are the same but the 62's have a noticeable difference in the
lack of power.
Is there a better carb than the sdc80?

Modified Tillotson 216.

Excited to start cutting, new bar and chain today.

Got one I can try on a 62.

Guido salvage has one. Most of the one's I've seen posted are in Australia

The carb alone makes very little difference, the extra work is what allows the saw to make more power. The carb I modified I found while cleaning out our local Husqvarna dealer`s closed shop, havn`t seen another like it.

 

[Lee H]

Explain the extra work that makes a P62 run better or equal to a stock P60 or 61.

I'm curious to hear as well. I'm willing to bet some work on the transfers. He did mention a boost port as well.

Does anyone have the carb setting specs for the RA model? Having trouble tuning the top end. Has pretty good pull to it though. Especially with a 32 inch .404 chain.

I wish I could help, but all I have messed with is the p series. @Basher should be able to help you out though.
