Grabbed this at a swap meet today for $15. Did I do ok or get screwed? Never owned a pioneer. Fueled it, adjusted the carb, and replaced some missing muffler screws and it seems to run and oil fine. I need a air filter cover for it if anyone has one. It's a model 1074 btw.

So being that this saw doesn't have an H needle in the carb, do you just set the L needle for highest idle rpm, re-adjust idle speed and give er hell and not worry about it or is there a different way to tune this? Never tuned a saw with only an L needle.
Also, will a holiday II air filter cover fit this?

Beavers, that is quite a collection. Now I don't feel bad for owning a dozen of them. Do you have a PP655? I got one a year and a half ago at the recommendation of Hillwilliam and they are badass saws. I really enjoy it.

P61, I've got at least one P52 that I'm going to be selling later this summer. Not sure if you're dead set on a 51 or if a 52 will do the trick. It needs to be gone through, cleaned up, and the usual fuel lines, filter, carb kit , etc . It's been sitting for many years but everything looks to be in good shape.

l do not have a PP655 here yet but their is space on my shelf for a 655BP if l can find one black and poulan yellow colour.
l do have new parts though for PP655 here for future projects.
Congratulations to you on your recent purchase and l suppose you are taking care of the Bad Boy.
Undecisive at the moment on your P52. lf you wish you could PM me some pics of you r stuff and will consider from their.

Wish I could help more but have not tuned a carb like that don't know much about that saw

Tune the low needle until the saw rev's up from idle without bogging. You don't need to go richer than that.

 

[Beavers]

Project restore update , l managed to get carb , muffler clutch flywheel, etc on the last few days.

 

[fossil]

Looks very nice as usual. Looking forward to seeing the full assembly.

 

[Beavers]

Thanks Tim. lts alot of work & tinkering but l can see the finish line now.
l had to split the case twice and replace the C-case gasket again because it would not pass a pressure/vac test.
That was a pain.
The gasket material that l would normally use did not seal pressure on this saw.
l ended up going to use a little thicker material.

Looking good. Did your saw have the two stage reed on it.

Anyone know on this air filter cover? If the holiday II cover will fit?

There was a seller on evilbay offering those covers for like 20 bux each. Black plastic IIRC.

As far as I know all the 1073/P-20 types interchange.

 

[67L36Driver]

Not to worry on the fixed high speed jet. I've had P-20, 21 and 26. All ran fine.
P-26 w/roller nose .325" X 16".

 

[p61 western]

Can you put a different carb on those saws with high and low adjustment

 

[Beavers]

This Saw found its way home today. Thought l would share the Pics.

Note the early style starter on this Model 600

 

[Perry pioneer]

I like the look of the 600,610 I have to get one for myself. Looks like an ez project you have there be sure to show us your progress.

I got out my 970 Holliday 11 today, I need a choke conversion set up the primer bulb has holes in it. Couple drops of fuel down the carb and it started on the second pull, runs like new but it's barely been used I like it.

 

[Beavers]

Sweet, Nice all original and complete Saw kit. Nice Find.
