How do they make just the correct size batch for a rattle can and how do they fill and pressurize it? Always wondered about that.
P50's would have been equipped with the SDC Walbro Carb but you could install the smaller tilly HS to the reed block.
Check wires for internal short. I had a bad wire in a 1200 that had broken internally. A wire tester is fairly reasonable and can be used for many things.Looks like my enthusiasm for a newly acquired P50 is diminishing! The saw isn’t firing now either. Not sure what happened. It was kicking spark before I pulled the flywheel and coil fo cleaning . When I put everything back on and spun the flywheel it sparked a couple times real weak and then just puttered out and died. Tried a couple different switches but still no luck. Tried the old bake the coil trick with this “big blue” prestolite coil but didn’t fix it...
Gotta find a parts saw or possibly this may become a parts saw.

I've had countless condensers go bad on the over 325 saws that I have.The saws are vintage '60's-'90's,a few '50's too,so the condensers are 50-60 yrs.old.Also,it's been proven that a condenser will go bad just sitting on a shelf.I've bought a few condensers on Feebay & have gotten bad ones that were "NOS".I've also found that the condenser can be way off in MFDs which will cause the saw to run erratically,almost like a misfire,or a skip.As for taking a condenser off a trtuck or car,well that went out the window back in the '70's-'80's as the auto industry went to electronic ignitions,same with a lawnmower.Pioneer saws aren't the only saws that used Phelon condensers exclusively.Mac used them exclusively as well,& Homelite used them 50/50 with Wico,but I've found that you can interchange the Wico & Phelon condensers to a point.Some of the condensers are different in diameter which prevents them from being interchanged.Never had a bad condensor on all the points saws I have used over the years.If i neede one I would use one from a car a lawn mower outboard motor etc The condensors are all fairly close in micro farads.

l think l have new output coil assy here and the trigger coil & condenser assy. l could look . lf you end up needing such.
Your P50 may have the Blue prestolite coil on the saw if its a later production unit.
Here are a few pics of the saw. Currently looks like it fell out of the garbage truck. Planned on restoring but maybe not.....gotta get it running good first.
Does this help , lt is code for a colour l had paint colour match for the Farmsaw Orange. l was pleased with the results.Hey all, I have two Farmsaws on deck to restore. Has anyone figured out a color match for the Pioneer Orange?
Thanks. Jason.
I have four three complete and one parts saw. All are prestolite blue coils.Thank you! Now another question about the farm saw, did any of them come with a walbro coil?
