I don't think that version is common. Factory hot rodded. Special reeds, big carb and P51 muffler. Really nice find.

Looks great Pete! that's a nice saw.

Sure does and sure is. What color yellow is that? And what color orange do folks use for the orange-ish color saws like my P62?

Here are the pics the seller sent me

I would be very interested to see the Reed setup.

Thank you Tim, yeah they are pretty rare as I understand. It has the fiberglass reed and p51 carb and muffler. I t took me about 6 months to talk the owner out of it, but I had to have it.

I should have a chance later today to take a pic of it for ya. It's a one piece fiberglass reed, some of the 5 and 6 cube Pioneers came with a 2 stage fiberglass set up. My p61 western has the sdc 80 and the 2 piece fiberglass reed set up.

I haven't seen the two stage reeds. My p51 and p61s have single stage reeds. I am going to be CNC machining aluminum reed blocks and I want to mount up a tillotson carb. I will be making stock versions but I also want to make higher flow versions like are seen in the McCulloch and dirt bike motors. If there already are higher flowing blocks, it would help to see themso I can modify the stock one effectively.
Are there different versions or sizes of the walbro SDC? Both my saws have them.

it was a "new" "2x ultra cover" rustoleum. bout 6 coats on covers. still see green thru it. I used to paint & green is hardest to cover. not 6 coats hard usually, tho. it will be a "worksaw" sometimes, so paint not that important... no color name or #. looks school bus yellow. is lighter than factory.

I am very interested to see what you come up with on these reed blocks. Chainsaw Jim has a p62 that he did some work on the reed block only and it made a huge difference in power. The sdc 53 is the most common on the 5 and 6 cube Pioneers, but some came with the sdc 80 witch imo is a way better carb. It does not have a governor and has a larger venturi. Easy way to tell is look by your choke and if there is a brass plug that would be the sdc 53. I don't have a pic of my 2 stage reed set up but back in this thread a ways back there was a pic of them.

Chainsaw Jim has my 655 BP now and hopefully it gains his reed block treatment.

I'm sure he will do a great job on it, and you will have a beast for sure when you get it back.

Hey did a fabulous job on my 6000 and 026. I kinda think of him as a West Coast Mastermind with his own twists and way of doing things. Oh yeah, and boy do they work.

I agree 100% and it's nice that he is willing to work on older saws as well.
