Thanks guys, had a pretty good day, Joe.
Yep it is a closed port. Tore it down last night. Piston is toast and cyl is iffy. carb bolts stripped n the partition. The other cyl I have is also a closed port. I had forgotten the cp 55 used 45mm pistons. Rest of saws in box are 51's. Trying to decide whether I want to build a couple of CP 51's, or just convert the saws to 46mm OP's. Probably do one of each, might even try one of the new 46mm cp topends.Nice scrounge.
The one looks to be a closed port in the pile.
This one, look at the top of the cylinder, the pointed corners where the OP is round on the curved portion.
Someone makes an AM closed port piston that is supposedly pretty good although not quite as good as the original CP piston which is mostly inobtanium.
Bummer.
I just sold the pair of 55's I listed the other day, one is a CP, hopefully it's still good.
I have one I'll sell with the rest of the saw lol.
I also know where there is CP P&C for sale

Great quads. The earlier 680 model had issues with a gear in the trans, but the newer ones share that gear with the big red IIRC. The 650 Rincon's had some other trans problems, I've owned a few, but only for resale. One thing that is sweet is how smooth the ride is with the rear independent suspension.
The price isn't bad vs new, but out of my budget, but if I had your money I would have already bought it

Send them a response saying you'll take it and your shipper will be coming to pick it up

Lil red barn has plenty of japanese cp pistons for the 45mm cp cyl. Meteor is selling a hybrid 46 mm cp p/c. I have read here on AS they work pretty well. The trick is to not put so much in one of these little saws you cant get your money back.Bummer.

I'm not sure I would recognize a spruce tree if I saw one.

Just looked it up. There were 2 big spruce trees on the property line that came down. 20"+. I now have spruce. Big ones.

Well, pretty soon I will have to move to a new scrounging spot, as the one I'm at now is getting thinned out,
And HERE is where it's all ending up,
