There is another batch of them new in the box, just put in Pioneer golf balls and they showed up. Pretty cool!

I figured you'd be running the hell out of those Pioneers just to keep warm back east! Sorry you got rid of some of your collection. I think your buddy up in Snowflake is still scrounging some Pioneers up. They're definitely getting harder to find around here.
Glad to see you in here too. Don't be such a stranger.

Great looking saw Mike.
You need a 655 to go with your collection. After getting one I sold my 61. Still have a P60 but I hardly run it. It's hard to reach past the 655 to pull out the 60!
Hey Paul! how are you doing! Glad to see that you are still here also! I milled some wood with the 3270 this year, still can't beat the lugging power that they have. I think I started the p41 once all year just to blow out the cobwebs. My biggest problem is that I can't start the saws i build, just put rings in a 272xp and the timing is a little advanced, pulls the rope right thru my hand. Bummer!
Both my big Pioneers can hurt you/me if not given a very dedicated pull on the starter rope, both run BP cylinders and are compression enhanced , I didn`t advance timing on them as they are hand rippers as is but are a pleasure to cut big wood with when given a chance. My advice is to keep them stock unless you are very adventurous.

It seems like finding a decent 655 is getting harder. For now the p62 will get a p65 top end. The p62 is a dog compared to the p61 western.
Out of curiosity, how so?

Mainly torque, but really all aspects of performance. My p62 is basically all new as well, so no real reason other then port timing. One of these days I will put a wheel on both saws.
With or without a boost port cylinder?

Without the p62 is a cb, but some of the cbw saws were boost port saws.
Project ugly p60 got some work done on it today. Top handle was cracked at the choke lever hole. Pete, rocketnorten welded it up for me, and after painting it a couple diffrent colours I finally found a green I like. Bit lighter then the original green but I think it looks good.

That looks like a good match to me Kevin . And shes not ugly !
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Something like that. Installed the 2 piece boysen reeds in this saw, need to do something about a muffler. I’d like to find a factory western style.

Here is a nos p41 part looks like your paint is close enough . What is the brand and color?
I’ll take a pic shortly. I tried getting a custom mix off the top cover. The match wasn’t even close. So bought a 7$ can off the shelf.
Tried getting some comp numbers today for my PP62. All I could get was 120psi+ with the decomp in. Can barely pull 2 revolutions (not two full pulls) with it out and it's already at 90 at that point. Can't even pull it over any farther with the decomp out. What a dog. LOL 
Funny thing is, I actually drop started it once right after I got it not realizing it had a decomp valve. Yeah. Silly me. Musta got lucky on that one because the next time 'bout pulled my arm outta the socket. Fortunately I soon discovered the decomp!

Deleted the de-comp on my p60. Was mangled and leaking. Hence the D handle.
Here’s what I used.
