Pioneer P41 - It's alive! Bought this a couple of years ago in a group bundle of chainsaws. Finally got it running today and thought I'd share some pics.
Motor was completely locked when I got it. Soaked in some Marvel, new plug, new fuel and it now runs. Now to sell it or should I completely restore? I really have no use for a chainsaw of this caliber, so will probably sell, but has been fun working with it and didn't realize that people collect chainsaws.

Must not have been getting my alerts on this thread. Behind about 5 pages. Neat to see the p52 boost port stuff showing up. Not to hard to make a window in the side of a piston for the boost port. I had to do it when I converted my p62 to a 655bp top end. Long story short there is two different wrist pin sizes. The newer boost port wrist pin is smaller than the older. Little bit of time with a bur, and the thin ring piston is a boost port piston.

Have you seen this with HS model carburetors? I’m trying to get my dad’s P61 running, rebuilt the carb with a kit but still no luck...
If it is an AM kit it could very well be, what happens with the ones I have worked with was the saw would flood as soon as the recoil is pulled. Is the saw flooding immediately?
It is not always the carburetor.

Yes! I pulled the spark plug a couple times to clear the fuel and I thought it was me causing it. Sounds like I may need to try a different kit. Do you know of a brand with the correct gaskets and diaphragms?
All the P41 half wraps are supposed to have an 8T rim. The full wrap models come with a 7T rim.
I have the OEM originals and have used kits from, Stens without any mis fit problems. The carbs sent to me to correct were kitted with AM parts from China but I did not see the kits before install by others. Many of the AM and even some of the original kits had a selection of different shaped gaskets and diaphragms, the correct one needs to be selected. Can you post a pic of the carb apart with the gaskets&diaphragms still in place.
The Gasket & Metering Diaphram cannot be upside down , it will cause your flooding and its important also that you set the inlet control lever correctly or the engine will flood easilt not to mention a worn out metering diaphram.
Here is some good info that addresses those point l mentioned , hope it helps you resolve the issue your having.
Some of us fellas also do a Needle pop-off test on the carb ,
To help you out with the Oem parts here is a new Metering Dia and gasket. PM me your address and l will put in mail to forward to you.
