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 cylinder screws. Kind of goofy and lots of sandcast parts which is unusual for Remington.

I have this Mohawk project underway, it is missing the pawls on the flywheel. They were with the saw when I received it but have gone missing in the time since then...

I also have this Logmaster which is very similar to the Mohawk.

Problem is I cannot figure out how to get this pawl assembly off the flywheel. Loosening the flywheel nut does not release the assembly. The one on the Mohawk was held on by two screws, but with the "shield" in place on this one the screws are inaccessible. Does anyone have experience with these?

That sure looks a captive nut on that flywheel. Does the nut come completely off when you loosen it? I generally hit it with the impact and it pops the flywheel loose.

Anyway, here's what the Logmaster flywheel assembly looks like. Looks like you'll have to grind those rivets.
