Just a heads up guys, a P 50 and a P51 take different cranks according to the part numbers, but I'm not sure why. I think it will fit, but you should check with someone smarter than me in the Pioneer thread to make sure.
IIRC, the 51 jug will fit the 50, but you have to swap the coil and flywheel too, because I know the ignition is different.
I'm hoping I can get my favorite saw going again this way. (Yup, the ignition died again.) I had a lot of different saws when I used to cut timber for a living, but I like the old Pioneer better than any of the others.
I believe that my P-51 bottom end is the same as a P-60. Can someone tell me for sure?
If I can find a new P-52 jug, I'd also like to find a new piston - or at least rings.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
The P50 51 52 and P60 61 62 saws used the same bottom end as long as they are Pioneer
The Pioneer Partner P52 and P62 will fit but use the ignition the same as a P42. If you use a newer jug you will need the ignition and flywheel.
I have a P50 base with P60 piston, P62 cylinder and uses a P42 ignition and flywheel.
Some cylinders are also skirted on the bottom.
Another option is bolt on an ignition from a 410 Homelite. They are for sale on ebay but they want big $$$
I came across this in the pioneer thread, I dont know much about these saws but p62 may. I will find out the hard way if i have to I guess. I guess it comes down to if they are straight pioneer or pioneer/partner
