Partner P85 heart transplant

So guys.....I picked up a cherry P85 at a yard sale last weekend and finally got a chance to check it over close today. The saw runs like a top, but is getting a little low on compression (140 PSI).....Or at least I think that's low.

If I end up pulling the cylinder anyway, can I put a P100 top on it, or is that even possible??

The P85 has a 36mm stroke and
the P100 has a 40mm stroke according
to acres site. So i don't think you can
just drop a P100 top on a P85.

Are P100 piston and cylinders av. and where. Have one located and that is supposedly what it needs.

Thanks Lee!

I was just assuming they were the same stroke, as the chassis looked so close to the same. In that case it will remain at 85cc's.

It is the same as the Skil and probably a dozen other brands. I get these confused with the Trail/Fontier saws but there cousins at least.

Here is the IPL attached below. I have a couple of boxes of parts for these. I also have a running 1612 and another that could probably run.

Did a little bartering of some 371xp stuff for the saw I've been looking for. Thanks Eric! Just got it today haven't had a chance to fire it up yet. Wife wasn't too impressed when I opened it up in the kitchen.

Nice looking saw Rod.
If you ever need any parts, let me know.

Cool beans!!!! Winnie the pooh boxers!

I had the saw traded the 371 stuff for the woman.

I have seen days when I thought that might not have been a good trade. :hmm3grin2orange:

Nice 5000+ though.

Are you sure about those 36mm? I believe it is a mistake on Acres site, and the correct number is 40mm.........

36mm would make the engine just 76.5cc.

How well do you think an R420 (65cc) will run a 22" hardnose bar?

My R420 has an 18" bar but the chain is pretty well worn. I bought this brand new 22" hardnose bar and chain for the R35/R435, but the big saw isn't going to live here much longer. I know I'll never get my money back on the new bar and chain, so I figure I'll keep it.

I've kind of fallen in love with this R420. It's like Dad's old P85 but in a manageable size.

My P-41 is 66 cc's and it runs a 24'' no problem unless you really pry on it. You should be good.

 

[Dennis Gauge]

Makes perfect sense. I put a 24" bar on my 70cc McCulloch PM700 and it does okay. The R420 feels like a stronger saw.

Hmm, now if the R35's bucking spike will fit the R420, that'll eat up about 2" of that bar and really make it look like an aggressive little snot.

Is the R420 the ancestor of the P70?

I ran a 20" on my 55cc partner when I was in bigger wood and with a sharp chain it pulled it fine.

Anyone want this as a parts saw? P&C look fine through the port. spark plug wire pulls out of the coil. all parts appear to be there. metal is beat to crap. Plastic rear handle has a broken part - the small portion on the bottom of the handle, but usable. this doesn't match the rest of the saws in the garage. PM me if interested.

7000 Plus Coil

Does anyone know what coils will interchange with the Partner 7000+. I am in need of one and want to see if I could broaden the area to look for parts. Thanks

Well it shares the same part number as a Husky 50 so I would think that the 40,50, 55, 254, 257 later 61 etc should all interchange with it. I have a 7000+ and could check if I ever get time.

I know that there is a ton of Huskys that use the same coil and alot of part numbers have been superceded from when I was searching coils for my PP475 which also used the same coil.
