I am assembling an AH47 top end and have noticed that the piston does not have locating pins and I can’t remember the original orientation when I took it apart. Was wondering where to put the ring gap. Possibly offset the rings so that one is open to front of saw one is open opposite side of piston due to the two possible exhaust openings on the cylinder……?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks Tim. Yes they are round ports.No locating pins means the ports are round holes so no chance of hooking a ring.
Some guys put the gaps 180 deg from each other. Put them where you want. any position will work.
Hi all,
looking for some help with a Tillotson HL carburetor kit.
tillotson HL11A. It appears that this has a different gasket in it then I have seen typically.
***Edit**
Should probably add that I’m trying to find a replacement rebuild kit. Does anyone recognize this kit? What is the appropriate Tillotson rebuild kit?

I have the same saw I picked up 2yrs ago.https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/old-vintage-saws-everywhere-i-looked.355151/page-3#post-7608395I posted some saws I picked up today into the above thread or just look up "Old Vintage Saws Everwhere I looked" and thought I'd post a link here in case you haven't seen the old stuff. After looking through this thread I was happy to learn that the Pioneer I got might be a 1955 IEL and was stated as "easy to work on"View attachment 941106. I need alot of easy to work on....
