PP455 oil tank leak Anyone ever seen this: I need some help
What a drag
Was putting the Poulan Pro455 (Pioneer based,72cc) through some big maple and it started blowing lots of smoke. Big clouds. and running really rich feeling
This is what I found. Carb full of red fuel mix.
I looked in tank and gas is red; and the oil is thinned out. Poured out this 1:1 mix and took a peek in the tank. Clear through from oil to gas tank.
Looks to be a divider missing that may have been, was "glued" in place between tanks that is missing.
It looks like a factory molded lip??? Can't see the "divider"; I will check in the waste gas drum in the morning light.
Question Any one ever see this and how would you go about fixing without splitting case
Find the divider and glue with permatex motoseal?
Looked in my P41 and it looks solid
I though these were all solid construction, guess not. Hmmmm

Its a common problem with these saws, clean up the parts and glue the plate back in place using three bond, Hondabond Dirko or the like.

Thanks I'll do that. Thought all was lost when I first saw the coloured gas. Love the saw.

Good luck with the 455. Let us know how it turns out. I know that saw is your favourite.
A good friend of mine just posted a video of his restored IEL Super Twin 51 One man saw.
Joe has done another beautiful restoration. Sounds great. check out the video

Pioneer 1073
I found a 1073 at a local landfill; I had one of these(or similar looking) as my 1st chainsaw. It had good torque for cutting firewood. My neighbor borrowed it and claimed he broke it and gave me a small useless saw as replacement. Watch out when you lend out tools! Anyway this 1073 is complete except for the plastic filter cover and filter is missing; also feels like low compression on the motor-worn rings? I guess it can be the ARC compression release.
Question: is it hard to find the parts to fix this saw and will it be costly for the parts?

The air filter covers are rare. The brown ones for a 1073 are even a little rarer than the green ones for the later saws I think. They come up on ebay from time to time.
If you remove the recoil, you can temporarily disable the decomp to test compression, but it's probably fine. Setting the single screw carb is the most troublesome part of these saws, in my experience.

update i found a p60 flywheel
The P60 was setting on the porch waiting for me when I got home today. The bar had come through the cardboard and was sticking out of the box. I'm thankful they were kind enough to stick it back in the box and keep it with the saw.
Now, this saw was advertised as no spark, diagnosed by a dealer. So, I pulled the spark plug, hooked up the lead, turned off the lights and voila...a nice fat spark. I dumped a little fuel in the carb and it fired right up and idled nicely until it ran out of fuel
Sometimes you get lucky!

You suck :hmm3grin2orange: Nice score :msp_thumbsup:
I think the P62 I'm waiting on will be even nicer. I won't be keeping both of them, so you might see the P60 back on the block after it's all squared away. Here's the P62. It's coming from another AS member, but the transaction was handled through eBay.

Talk about rubbing it in! :hmm3grin2orange:
I'll quit when I have a P42, P52, and P62. You see, if one is a x2, then all three have to be a x2, lol. I can't have a P40, P51, and a P62. Might as well get the last version of each. Yeah, I know, that's called OCD

I have the 28,41 & 52 so far LOL 2 of each
I suppose my ambitions could be worse, and say I wanted one of each, lol. BTW, what's a 28? Guess I need to head over to Acres.
Can't remember off the top of my head?Not very big
I just looked it up. I'm currently only after the 42, 52, and 62 since they all look the same. Maybe someday I'll expand to the other P series Pioneers. BTW, this is my first ever Pioneer. Well, I do have the PP455, but it doesn't run yet, and I'll probably sell it for a P42.
