Excellent thread Mikey, that saw turned out beautiful. Glad you took the time to show everyone.

Thank you for the compliment DJ. I'm glad I shared it as well. There's not that many threads around on these saws.

I will get some pics for you. Are you missing stuff?

I don’t think I am, just motivation.
Did these saws ever come in the color you chose?

Yep Mike matched the color to the inside of the starter. They were originally single stage paint, and fade out over the years. Oh and get that p39 going slacker lol.

Nice work...those 6-port jugs have a unique sound to them. I've been thinking about having one of those cylinders machined down so I can get the exhaust number lower.

What are the numbers like jh. I noticed it has a wide exhaust. Looks like a hot rod

Thank you Wayne. Hopefully this will help you out a little bit if you decide to do it on your own.

I haven't put a wheel on it. The exhaust port is right at 73% of the bore though.

Beautiful work Mike, can't wait to get my P61 together when the parts come back, I like how you detailed the order of assembly, very important on certain models, I am sure this will help me and others, thanks for taking the time.

Yes there is a 2 stage you can buy. Check yours first though it might already have it.
