Ebaydoes anybody know where to get a western muffler for p-series
A P61 should have no trouble with a 36", if that's the bar you need. I've never run a P61, but I worked next to another faller in WA 30+ yrs. ago whose P61 was likely outrunning my 2100, both w/ 36" bars. The 655BP I have now just laughs at a buried 36" bar w/ chisel-filed .404, even at 10,000' elevation.how does a p61 do with 36" bar
I can't remember if my P42 Western (slightly different saw) had the divider. If it did, I removed it when it was new and did some other port work, just like I did on my P51.My 41's and 51's have the divider in the exhaust port. I would assume all of them did in those two series.
sure would love to have itSweet! Those saws look brand new! I hope the ignitions in them last you out.
I have a matching outside dog for the P61. If you want it, it's yours.
I think I have another one with your name on it. Does your clutch cover have the mounting holes?
Gimme a PM with your address.sure would love to have it
If the ports are done right, they really rock and still last for years.is it better performance without the dividers. i hope the coils stay good to crossed fingers
In the old days, I didn't think about porting in terms of degrees. If you cut and grind the divider out, and raise/ enlarge the port only as much as what happens from polishing, and then do a good job of chamfering the port, you should be fine. If you leave it alone, you should be fine too.i think porting is above my skill level id maybe try removing just the divider on my p41

I'm currently using the original smaller dogs on my P51, and bphill kindly sent me another set of the smaller ones that I'm now using on my 655. I like them because they allow me more usable bar length. I don't usually miss having the big ones on that saw.
Yup, and I agree on the big dawgs for big bark. The spruce I usually cut has pretty thin (bug-infested) bark. If I get back into Doug fir, I'll be glad I didn't give you my big dawgs.agreed on usable bar, but this kinda bark makes em useful, here. pic of cc. no holes, thought it might go on bar studs. thanks for the offer, tho. btw, part w/rivets has been replaced.

I have K&N on three of my four Pioneers, because I have three aftermarket v-stacks I'd bought in the early 80s. I was working on a design for a better,more effective v-stack, but the project got stalled at the CAD drawing stage. What's the filter setup on your big saw?thanks for the dog and port advice .do you run k&n filters on all your saws
