Here's an IPL. http://s30387.gridserver.com/partsDiagrams/Pioneer%20Farmsaw.pdf
The farmsaw had starter/recoil issues. If you search this thread, there are many pics and advice how to fix it.

are there any factory cylinder upgrades for a 620 . from what i read on the acres site a 800 cylinder might bolt on to make it 125cc.

Farmsaw model FM

Thank you Arrowhead for the IPL,at least I now know what is missing.Did all the Farmsaw models come with a chain brake?The manufacture date on mine is 1980,to early for a chain brake I think.I tried to find a link for the recoil starter,but was unsuccesful,will try again with different wording.

 

[Arrowhead]

The chain brake was optional. They did have them in 1980.

Try "farmsaw starter" as a search word. It is difficult at times to find stuff here, the thread is getting so large. Here is a pic I found.

THANK YOU again Arrowhead,that picture was worth ten thousand words,I now know how the decompression link works and hooks up.I am missing the spring(?) that attaches/tensions to the recoil housing at the bottom. The black spur that engages the flywheel will not slip on the recoil side,I need to check for a burr or replace it.

Hello Ray if you go to the Poulan parts site, and preface the Pioneer part number with 507 (Pioneer Decomp Lever 432130 becomes Weed Eater 507432130) many parts are still available. Starter spools and coils are long exhausted darn it. Good Luck

Pioneer actually made their own chain and had their own numbering system for it.

Vince, I have a lot of sales phamplets that list the old Pioneer chain, gives types and sizes sold between 1955-85 but it only lists Pioneer numbers and names for them, don`t know if it would help with any cross referencing.

Pioneer Parts?

Anybody know where I could get parts for a Pioneer Holiday 1100W? I am trying to find the lock nut for the clutch side and a clutch cover in good condition.

I had to put a new rope and grip on it. Also just replaced the fuel line and it runs good so far. Tried to cut wood but the chain needs to be sharpened. This saw hasn't been running in years so I am waiting to see if new gas is going to destroy the diaphragms in the carb.
I painted a few things on it and got it cleaner than it was.

Thanks to Reading through these posts I have a fully working , reliable pioneer s620. A full strip down and re build, but it was a tiny bend to the metering lever that made all the difference! It just took till a couple of pages ago to realise it! So thank you all but esp. Mr Myers.
Now I just need to know how to use it safely.

I don't think there's too many of these old saws running in the uk, but there is one more now!

Mystery Solved...

Bahahahahahaha!

Stihl equipment is great, but those :censored: flippy caps!!!!

All our equipment at work is Stihl. They sometiems get stuck, and sometimes you think they're locked in, until you turn it sideways and out goes your tank of fuel all over the friggin place...

I laughed pretty hard at that video

Welcome to ArboristSite. It's a great feeling to bring an old saw back from the dead. Jerry has been a huge help to me as well.
