Pioneer chainsaws

[pioneerguy600]

Thanks Jerry, how hard is it to find the medallion for this cover I just got? I'm about 100% certain that the guy I got this locked up RA from put the hose to it. Because when I got there it was all wet, and he said he cleaned it up when he got it a couple years prior, now its locked up.

UNOBTANIUM, ...LOL

ha ha. Figured so. Do you have a picture of one? Maybe I could have a decal made, and put it on a aluminum disc.

Hey All, Thanks for all the well wishes.

I can post a pict of my restored RA`s cover top now and if you need a closeup pict of just the medallion I will take one and send it to you.

Its been awhile gentlemen but you know I get scarce over the summer with music & other stuff. This year has been particularly hard, My wife & brother have been both diagnosed with cancer. (And a sister in law) My wife with stomach cancer & my brother with liver cancer. Brother has only a few weeks to live according to the Dr.'s & wife just started round 9 of chemo. Shes holding up amazingly well & she has every intention of beating this thing. That being said, wifey has been out of work pretty much for the last 7 months, (a few hours here & there when she feels up to it. Her boss has been really cool), and things are getting tighter than bark on a tree. So, I'm afraid i might be selling my favorite saws. except for the 2 i use to do most of my cutting. If you remember I have been looking for an airfilter COVER for the 1074 for quit awhile & was putting off rebuilding til I found one. Never did so saw wasn't rebuilt yet. It ran great when I put it away many years ago even with the wear showing on the piston. Thats when I bought a new piston & jug assy. And so it sits. I hate to part with it and it would only go as a whole,(saw & new jug & piston set). Also have an Echo 610EVL twin cylinder runs like a scalded dog, low hours, but missing the front white plastic safety guard. If Volks-Man is still on here he can hook you up with the guard for a reasonable price. I was getting ready to buy one from him when the s*** hit the fan. Hope you all have a good supply of firewood ready (I do not as of yet). And hope to see you on the forums here. I cant really say what I need for these saws, but will look and see what type of offers or general range they might be going in. then I'll decide.
For now keep restoring & cutting...

I got my NOS airfilter covers from MADSAW if that helps anyone interested.

I will get a closeup pict out in natural light and send it out to you.
You can have everything but you have to know the right people or the right person. I looked for a long time to find mine, it was worse than finding a needle in the proverbial haystack. I missed out on getting a second one by a couple of seconds, they were the only ones I have ever come across in over 12 years of looking.

Man your saying there's a chance? That's like 1 and a 2million shot!!!!! LOL

pioneer shop manual

Hello...i stumbled upon a huge book. A pioneer dealer shop/service manual. What are these worth and are they very rare? It has just about if not every IPL for all pioneer chainsaws ever produced plus a lot of other stuff.

Got some troubles on my new to me P60. Ed's already helped quite a bit on the original thread I posted on this saw, and even was kind enough to send me some parts I needed - Thanks Man!

Here's my problem. Saw will start, idles with a miss, and doesn't accelerate worth a dang, along with a bad habit of backfiring.

Compression is great, spark is strong. Seems to be fuel related.

I bought a carb kit for it, (Walbro SDC-53-1 carb on it), but hadn't put it in yet. I pulled the carb, and as long as I was that far, I pulled the reed block out. It's got a steel reed in it, and it's worn the plastic on the end of the block enough that there's a small air gap there. I'm thinking that's gonna be the root of my troubles?

I could likely get a couple thou machined off it to clean it up, has anyone tried that? Otherwise, I guess I might be looking for a PN430723 reed block. The steel reed plate itself seems to be good.

Also, The carb is worn where the choke plate is supposed to sit on a "shelf" on the side of the carb when open, this lets the choke butterfly overcenter. That can't be helping at all. I flipped the butterfly over, and it cured it for now, but I wouldn't guess it to be a long term fix. It looks like I can get a whole new carb for about $75, gotta check with my Dolmar dealer tomorrow. It might be easier to go that route than to rebuild and cobble this one.

I was hoping to have a big running saw by now, but it's still in project city I guess it'll be that much sweeter when it does run like it aught to again.

Any help appreciated greatly!

I've noticed backfiring (through the carb) is sometimes the result of a lean condition at the carb. But haven't seen that on a two-stroke much. Have you checked the flywheel key???

Plug is showing rich to excessively rich, def not lean. I haven't checked the flywheel key, other than making sure the flywheel didn't move at all on the crank, there's no wiggle at all there. I suppose it could be partly sheared and still tight though.

Thanks for the ideas!

Steve,..your flywheel would not wiggle on the crank even if the key was completely sheared off, the key has little to nothing to do with holding the flywheel in place. It is there to align the flywheel magnets to the piston stroke, just an alignment feature. The taper of the crank and flywheel lockup the components and the pressure from the nut pushes the two tapers together tightly, so its friction that actually holds them in place. If you ever pull and reinstall a flywheel make very sure the crank stub and the inner mating bore of the flywheel is perfectly clean and dry, then tighten the nut to specs or at least 25 ft lbs. If you shortcut the procedure you most likely will end up with another sheared key.

Looking back over your original question about the miss it could be just a bad sparkplug or a short in the wiring. The kill switch wire could be grounding, the sparkplug wire could be chafed through and grounding. The coil gap may be too large/open too far and then there is the most feared probability of the coil unit going bad.
