After being impressed by my workmanship, he wanted me to check out his old chainsaw. It just happens to be a pioneer! All I know is it says "easy arc" on it. No model number. He does have a manual with it, but it is oil soaked.
I tried to get it running, but it's not accepting gas. Gas "seems" to flow well from the lines. And if I "drip" gas down the carb, she will run.
Is there a place I can get a carb kit for it? Do I need to know the specific model? It looks like the one pictures above. Yellow, and made of metal. Very very heavy! Haha
Look underneath the saw. There should be a label with the serial number on it. "MAYBE" that gives the model number? I'll have to double check mine to see if that gives a clue of the size. It also has the year it was made. I found out that mine was made in 1979.
As to the "Easy Arc Starting", that means it has a compression release to make the starting pull easier.
Sounds like you have a cracked fuel line where it is falling off the nipple. Also, for the kit listed below for the P26, the RK-14U kit, you can find them on Ebay VERY EASY.
As for the P26, check out this page which shows the carb is:
CARBURETOR: Tillotson HU-15E series
MAJOR REPAIR KIT: RK-14HU
MINOR REPAIR KIT: DG-2HU:
