I acquired this Holiday II at the PNW GTG and decided to give it a good cleanup before moving it to the museum display.

Like many of the Pioneer saws this one had a primer rather than a choke. Unfortunately the bulb for the primer is missing.

Not like any carburetor I have seen before.

I presume the tee would have supplied the primer but without the bulb someone decided to plug it. I also presume the fitting on top of the carburetor was for the discharge from the primer into the carburetor throat.

The starter is atypical for most saws, but not uncommon for Pioneer, and the action of the starter also operates the compression release.

It also has a spring loaded bar adjuster, just loosen the bar nuts and the chain is automatically tensioned.

Runs on prime. I am not going to pursue fuel in the tank since it is just going into the display.
