OLD PIONEER 450 OILER QUICK FIX


Ya the oiler is operational again,,When i got the saw i Cleaned out the oil tank i think the oil primer was dryed out.. would press on it over and over with no oil... Cleaned out bar oil passages and block passages.. Still nothing ,.,,

Anyways the answer was sitting on my bench a small lil shot of compressed air to get the oil moving,,

UP and oiling again like a champ!\


Probley if i didnt have compressed air filling it up with oil and leaving it in the hot sun would have worked to eventually lol ha.. well maybe

You better plan on posting a picture of the Honda or I will be disappointed.

 

[sledrat]

ha ya WELL WQULD LIKE TO BUT I cant not allowed only allowed chainsaw stuff in this thread WHICh IS OK WITH ME or it gets booted outta here!

ANYHOW i Got the P50 ripped apart IT TOO , It was seIzed up good missing carb and coil
its gonna be a tuff one...the tiny lil valves look terrible stuck open rusted really bad..

but you know im GETTING REAlly hooked on old hondas dam well built machines
a pleasure to work on..BUILT TO LAST!!If the guy who last wrenched on it would have never left the plug outta of it and the carb open in the elements for years it would be still running or a lil easier to get back running but then again i guess i wouldnt have gotten it either,,,,, OH well thats how it goes TIME TO GET GREASEY!!!!

Sledrat, I know it's tough and all, but if you go here: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw-stickies/70698.htm Some of the Pioneer guys have had aftermarket reeds made for the P series saws, for a pretty reasonable price. Won't hurt to ask, maybe there's someone with an extra set floating around.

BTW, nice trick using air pressure to prime the oiler on the 450. It's been filed in the back of my noggin for possible future use.

If you zoom in on the pics you can barely make out "Pintail Saw Chain" on the bottom line. That part of the sign (which I think is badass btw) looks to be plain white unless you zoom in.

 

[sledrat]

ya i wonder what that means anyone?

 

[boda65]

ya i wonder what that means anyone?

Here is a pic that another member posted of some well worn pintail chain on a Mac saw. It has a protrusion (the pintail) on the back of each cutter. I'm not sure if it served any purpose or was just a marketing gimmick.
As for the sign, sometimes certain old signs do bring some stupid high prices, but I think that guy is just fishing for a sucker.

[sledrat]

Right on thanks for the info ya your right i seen a few signs bring crazy cash thats forsure..
Its way to rich for my blood thats forsure!
but again its neat old sign i know i will never get it..
But oh well its nice to dream

Hey Sleddy, did you look through the seller's other items? I figured the Arctic Cat belt buckle might catch your eye. I thought the 7Up cooler was cool, till I saw his price...YIKES!

 

[sledrat]

yup i seen the Kitty buckle but i got one already
if he gets 39.99 for his buckle i will try and sell mine for 50 one day ha
Looked at the 7UP cooler it is by far the best 7up cooler on ebay so i guess
he can demand a high price ,,
I dont know i just like the Old CHAIN SAW SIGN ,,
Im Waiting on cash did a motor job on a guys old 1965 kawasaki motorcycle got her up and popping again..So have to wait before throwing cash around like a fool...
