Pioneer/Partner p42hp build

[p61 western]

Very nicely done, have you run it in wood at all?

Yes it has made a few cuts, and then cleaned back up lol.

Looks like 50 and 80 are closed at a pretty low elevation.

Acres is right about the p45, but the p40-42 is actually just under 66cc. I think you mean your p45 right? It's very possible your saw came with the K&N set up originally. They started using that set up after mount st Helens erupted. The ash was going right through the filter system, and dusting top ends. If you can share a pic of your saw.

Here is my P45 boost port.

That's a really nice saw. I just quoted your post in the Pioneer thread over yonder lol.

The only thing about it is that it is quite heavy. It feels like it weighs close to my 655.

Yeah it's probably not real far off from the 655. If I had to guess probably one to two pounds depending on bar size of course.

 

[sawfun]

I would sell it if interested.

Yep exactly I just haven't put the decals back on mine yet. There was a cb model witch was a base model more or less, and no 6 transfers. Then there was the cbw that was like the old western models, and had the best they had to offer at the time. Those usually had the 6 transfer top ends. If the saw doesn't have the id tag then it's just a guessing game.

I just found and read this thread, it's great information thank you I have a few Pioneer saws to get done. It will help me very much.
I'm still working on a few P51's we talked about before on the other site. I'm picking up some bearings in Sumas Wa. Next week for those.
I have a P39,P40 and a P42 to rebuild yet so thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

long time ago lol.

 

[Pioneer]

long time ago lol.

Got a P42, checked it out yesterday, it will need a coil and maybe a new piston.
I will have to pull the cylinder off and clean it up.
I think someone forgot to mix the gas.

 

[Pioneer]

Worked on the P51 western yesterday, I have been trying to get spark from 3 coils. Baked them once for 2 hrs and no luck. Baked them again at 225 for 8 hrs.
On the 3rd try yesterday I got a nice spark from one. Checked it again and still was working I was pretty happy. Put the saw all together, gassed it up and it wouldn't fire, checked plug and no spark, lots of fuel flowing in.
Pretty frustrating, it's going back to the shelf until I find a different coil set up.
