IEL-Pioneer thread

[Basher]

Looking at an IEL model HC...anybody got info on those? Has good compression and spark....just needs the fuel system gone through according to the seller. Price seems pretty good to. I'm really liking the style of those old saws.

To start with there is always Mike Acres site,

There are several other members on here that also enjoy working on these old saws.

Thanks for the link, I checked out the sight earlier. Cool thing is I may have a 28 that'll work nicely on it.

I put an old HL carb off of a Homelite ZIP on my RA, and that old saw runs great. Holds a good tune, too.

It has better H/L needles on it, with spring tensioners on the screws.

Might take you up on that offer soon.....a super wiz 80 has caught my eye and the price is cheaper. haha It's a bidding war as well so we'll see. I'll keep in touch.

The only pic I have on my phone currently, my modified RA sitting with my old Contra. I built a shroud for it, advanced the timing, and swapped the carb......

That saw is bad azz. I need to get some of the older iron. I mostly have the p series saws right now.

It's not going to win any races, but it's loud, obnoxious and fun to run!

How'd the timing and carb do on it?

Definitely woke it up some. The carb maDE it reliable and it holds a good tune now.

But, these saws don't have the same powerband as newer ones. They were primitive 2 cycles, I wish there was a way to "wake" the saw up. It'd be cool to see it scream with more RPMs......

Yeah, my ra pulls a 32 pretty darn good for its age. Might try the timing advance and carb for the hell of it.
