Here are some pics of a project Saw P40 l am working on at the moment. l did clean out the old carbon buildup in the exhaust ports and smoothed out the sharpe corners . This saw had some miles on it.

this was probably discussed already but paint did you use? I have a 1073 and 1074 I would like to tear down and repaint. the 1074 has the paint just falling off.

Anybody tune there large p-series with a tach,and if so what do you set the max rpm at.

I've always tuned mine the old-fashioned way. There's plenty of info on this site, if you don't already know how.
I can tell you're enjoying your Pioneers!

Still on hold. I'm mighty busy right now, anyway. I did actually think about the v-stacks yesterday, though.

Well hopefully busy in a good way.

l get my Paint from a Home Hardware Store here in town, its called Beau-Tone, Dupont is suppose to make it for them, They should be able to scan a sample and get a exact colour match for.
off course you should do the usual prep and clean before top coat and then clear coat. l do not reduce the paint in this very hot weather and spray with hvlp set at about 45psi , that could vary with you depending on different variables.
This set up seems to work good for me. l am not a professional painter and have obtained results from trial & error.

Yep I read the whole thread,took me a while.Any paint supply shop should be able to cross reference those numbers into there product if they don't have SW.

what is the best kind of paint for fuel resistance? epoxy polyester?

Depends if you want a single stage or base clear set up.Most clear coat is somewhat fuel safe.Probably pushing it if it's used everyday.The old enamel single stage is real strong stuff.

I picked up this NU-17 for $30 the other day and started restoring it. Just bolting it back together now

 

[ML12]

the NU-17 has the standard NFG coil, but I saw that rocketnorton had used a McCulloch coil/armature assembly on his, and as I have one on hand that's what I plan to use as well. It looks quite similar. Any thoughts?

So long as it fits the coil lamination, it'll work. Pioneer used somewhat larger core dimensions than standard Wico coils--can't speak for McCulloch. You may have to splice the lead to the points.

Check into the aftermarket OMC coils. I used one of these on my 1850. Just a little tapping and pushing and a brand OMC coil was installed.
