Yes Walter, it initially starts great. Choke out for a couple pulls and it’ll pop, choke off, fire next pull. Then dies. Then I need to start the choke process over again. 3-4 pulls and it’s going again.

Off to have a look at a pioneer RA-45 for sale local here. Complete , non running apparently. Anything to look for ? Are parts available still? Any history on these things? What’s it worth?
Thx gents

Never heard of an RA45 but an RA is a IEL model, forerunner of the Pioneer 600 and no info on a 45.

Have you tried running it with the choke on, and if so does the same thing happen?
Just going off what the ad said. Has pioneer top and clutch cover.
I haven’t I don’t think. I’ll try that before tearing it down again. Prolly get to it during the week sometime.
Ok, difficult to comment unless I see a pict of it,then I would immediately know the model.
Only thing I can think of in a 45 ,maybe a Pioneer Partner P45 if it is dark yellow in color.
You got the pict posted before I got through typing, its an RA.

Ya, that is just a common model RA, just a collectible fun saw to own and run, heavy and slow but not really worth much money wise.
Picture work? I’d like a big P series saw one day. But don’t come across them around here
Yes your pict worked, you just managed to get it posted while I was typing up my reply to the 45 designation. That RA is just not a saw most would want as a wood cutting saws these days, heavy, no AV and slow they are more of a work of art and a collectors piece now.
There is a lot of big P series saws in BC, especially on or near the coast. I have picked up several from the Frazier river valley area between Hope and Vancouver.
And that’s all it would be. Be great if it fired and take it up and play with it occasionally. Guys asking 150$ tho.
I live in the Okanagan (southern central BC). But drive to Vancouver everyday for work, picked up a few smaller ones on my route lately.
where in bc are ya? ^^^ I type slow
who ya work for? been professional tourist b4.
That`s about double what I would pay for one but then again I am spoiled when it comes to getting them for free up to paying $50. for the nicest one I now have.
I’m in kelowna. But I drive a semi to Richmond everyday for work.
ya'd b welcome to stop by sometime. few pioneers here. just off hwy 17/bridgeview.
