Pioneer chainsaws

So I received a new reed block for the P51 and want to check before I install it. They look identical but the old one has a duck bill looking piece that the new one doesn't. It seems to me that the duck bill piece would unsrew off the old one and drew onto the new one. Does this sound correct?

Not sure what I did to add the duplicate pictures but pic 1 is the old reed block, pic 3 is the new reed block , and pic 4 is both old and new side by side. The rest of the pics are duplicates and triplicates, sorry.

That piece stops the reed from over travelling and getting damaged. I would put it on.
I think most of those blocks crack from over tightening and maybe cranking one side down and then the other. Go easy on it and tighten each side a bit at a time.

Thank you, that's what my guess was but I didn't want to screw anything up at this stage.
What about putting some locktite on the screws to keep them tight?

Loctite blue. 242 I think. If you look in the repair manual I sent you, it lists all the screws that you should loctite on page 5.

Perfect, thank you again.

there is a purple Loctite, dunno #, but is "blue" for small screws...

Finally finished up my RA. I took a few creative liberties. I didn't want the flywheel screen and bucking spike to be yellow. Everything else is pretty close. It won't see gas. Far as I can tell, it's pretty happy on a shelf in my shop.

Very nice...that is certainly looking like top-shelf material to me. Solid.

That is a sweet looking saw you have there.

 

[jeff taswelder]

So far it runs ferry well

Heh, well you done better than me. I got this off C'list for 60 USD. Aside from a good cleaning, havn't touched nothing. Did put a new bar/chain on hime.

Hey guys I realize most of you are looking at the older ones here but I picked this one up today. It has no sparky. I managed to put a coil on it from a throw away poulan and it did actually start for a short bit but I shut it off as the coil was only held on with one bolt. Just want to rule out anything on the flywheel. Piston is great. I did notice it looked like the intake block might have a crack in it. Not sure how parts are to get for these. Don't see very many around it seems. It has thin rings. Did any of them come with thick?

Also is the displacement standard or was there differences? I though I found 66cc?

All the carb. isolator blocks have some cracks in them. As long as it don't leak air you are good.

I've had two P-41's and two P-40's apart and they all had the NLA thin rings. My one P-40 could use a pair but he runs and cuts fine at 125 psi.

My Farmsaw, I dunno about the rings. Really not interested enuff to mess with him to look.

very nice... the unpainted parts look good, imo... have 2 runners & a parts saw, myself...

The coil is off a throw away little poulan saw like a 210 model. I have it held on with only one screw and am going to try and see if I can modify it to bolt down properly. Will also have to reshape part of the pick up on it so not sure it will work. I will post back though if it works or fails. At this point I was able to start the saw but stopped short of just that for fear of trashing the flywheel if it moved.

I had to spend some time grinding out the mount holes on the coil.

Reshaped the area that the coil is not wrapped close to and it line sup really close to where the original coil was. I will try it tomorrow.

I have only heard this saw idle on bottle feed so I'm not sure the carb will even pull fuel.

Will know tomorrow if I have to kit the carb if it starts.

The spark is blue and seem to be working on the bench. Too late to try and start it now.
