New on this forum; just acquired this 500 and with minimal resurrection it fired up just fine. It ran poorly until the old gas ran out, but when the new mix was run thru it ran like a bandit and even idled! Can anyone fill me in on how old this might be? It's been well handled from what I've seen, and compressed 135psi after under 2 minutes running. I have no history on it, but already like it and will clean it up to "like new". I have three of the new cheap Poulans and would speculate that this Pioneer cost more new than I paid for all three Poulans combined. Congrats on a busy and informative forum.
