Thanks for some history on them, always fun learning something new. I’ll make sure to get some pics up when it’s done.

P52 truckin along. Disassembled, crank seals. And going back together. Parts out for powdercoat now. Progress halted till those come back.
@pastryguyhawaii that’s your clutch cover on there. Thanks again brother.
Looks good!
That’s some mean looking spikes on there.
Nice piece there, case is a nice touch
Cbw model. W for western. Big doggies and a full wrap
I was just using my p26 today. However for one reason or another the oiler doesn’t seem to be putting out enough oil
Hi. Im Finally getting around to putting together a P42 I was giving back in 2015 or 16. Back then I couldnt find a piston and cylinder for it but I was able to find a P45 or 455 or P45hp? cylinder. Its the larger bore cylinder with the 3rd transfer port. My question is what carb should I run? I apparently took the whole carb apart and while I can likely get it together or put a carb kit in it I believe putting a bigger carb on it was talked about when doing the big cylinder mod. Thanks for the input.
Got the lil dude running..

Finding one of the small Pioneers with the AF cover in one piece is a find all by itself.

Finding the earlier 1073’s with intact AF covers is rare.
Now, finding one that hasn’t had the paint randomly fall off while in storage…

Well its been over 7 years since I got this from my neighbor. Had no clue what it was with the weird bar on it. After alot of research. And tearing it down. I ended up ordering a 72 cc jug and piston for it. It was literally in a laundry basket simce then.. new seals and gaskets.. milled the base. 020 to get squish closer to. 020. Well I need to get a few new bolts I lost and I do have a 20 inch bat and chain on the way. Bit I'm hoping to get this thing started tomorrow. I can't wait to fell a few silver maples in my front yard

That’s a nice saw. Gunna be a beast with a 20inch bar on it. Nice work
Here’s my p42.
Very nice saw. I gave up on making mine pretty. I like the air filter. Id love to get my hands on one to draw it in cad and then 3d print them. I gave up and didn't port the cylinder and didn't buy the 2 staged reeds. It will be fun to play with it once its running. What size bar is yours?
That’s a 24 inch bar. Has the factory single fibre reed in it.
My P42 is quite impressive for a 66cc stock saw,handles a 24" bar/chain buried in local hardwoods no problem,but I normally keep a 20" on there for best RPM's.
I got it all together and I can't get it started. Its popped a few times but won't run. Im using the old plug. Ill need to go get a new one in town today. It has spark but it seems kinda weak. I know the coils are not that great on these saws. I heard some say something about drilling a hole in it? What's that about?
Never heard about drilling holes in a coil before. I’d think that be a mistake. Did you go threw the carb and make sure it’s good ?
I didn't understand the drilling it out either. It's running. Went through the carb again. Slightly adjusted the needle. Changed the plug and finally got it running. Having a hard time getting it to idle down and not die. I let it stay high idle and took a test cut. And boy howdy did it eat!!! I'll get the idle worked. So glad to have it running after 7-8 years
