Does the PL7A have (or did it have) a primer?
Yea my PL7A had a primer bulb and some sort of backflow valve. I saved all the original stuff. I just blocked the inlet on the carb with a vacuum hose cap. I haven't seen any other ones with a primer bulb. The bulb itself was leaking and I think I used that hole to mount the nova chip
 
Also, the 880 is a weird saw. If you wanted to get to the piston, the cylinder screws are accessed from the bottom, 2 behind the ignition and 2 behind the clutch. Take those out, then case screws and split it. When you assemble you'd have to put the gasket and cylinder over the piston, bolt the halves together and then the screws. Kind of goofy and lots of sandcast parts which is unusual for Remington.
