Reference the blue Vs white coils, I've had and have an assortment of both. A couple of my big Pioneers I know had the original coils in them when I got the saws. A 51 had the blue and a 60 had the white. Both were made around 1980 from memory.
Had an old dealer tell me about 15 years ago that there wasn't a difference between the two colored coils and they were interchangeable. That has been my experience.
One thing is for sure, blue or white ones don't seem to last any better than one another and they're all hard to come by these days!

Question for the experts.
I got a couple decals from joe at sugar creek supply yesterday. They do awesome work. Great product.
Joe seems convinced that these poulan/pioneer saws had black decals, and look grey after years of use. Mines clearly grey. All my plastics and rubbers are grey. What’s the call here. I recall seeing these saws with grey or black trim. Any one have any insight? Thx

The black trimmed saws were from earlier in the run of saws. The grey trim was towards the end of the run. The Pioneer/Partner saws were the same way. I would ask him for a grey decal set as your saw has the grey trim. You may want to send him pictures of your grey decals.
l have seen both colour schemes on those saws

He doesn’t make grey decal sets. Yet. Only black in that series. Does anyone have a nos grey decal we can send joe to get a colour match done so he can make this set in grey now. Thanks for the help so far guys.

See if you can get ahold of Jeff @P62 . If anybody will it would be him.
I’ve got his email. That’s a good idea, thx.

Who knows how to spot a boost port saw?
If you can pull the muffler it’s very apparent. The boost port looks right at you.

Shoot I already did that but didn’t know what to look for. So the port should be on the other side of the cylinder opposite the muffler?
Exactly. Yes. My 655 ended up bieng a bp saw when it arrived. Nice surprise.
Here's pic of one . Eighth post down the page. First pic in the post.

I’m not at home, but I can tell from this pic last night. Buddy was trying to make me dismantle the saw to figure it out. What a guy...
No bp by the looks of the pic...

Not surprised, saw never made me think it did. Gotta check though.

Great score on those twin saws, they look very nice

This is a pretty good explanation of how to tell if a 655 is a BP model and it explains the grey vs black coloring on the saws . However, there are BP versions with the grey accessories
