Chainsaw Repair

Good morning all,

This is my first post, so I apologize if this is not the correct place to ask my question.

I recently received a free Pioneer Partner 500 saw that was thrown in with a 1987 Cub Cadet 1812 mower I recently purchased. It didn't run at first but after a good carb cleaning and new plug the thing fired right up and runs like a champ!

It seems there were two versions manufactured and some parts vary based on what little information I'm finding. One was made in 1983 and the other in 1990?

The tag reads as follows:
Partner 500
Serial number: 5442468
Electrolux Motor AB
SWEDEN

Man, I sure love this saw as it starts, runs and cuts great. The only parts I had to replace was the trigger lock, pull start handle and cord. I thought it was the 1983 model, but the start handle I bought based on manufacture part number is squared at the bottom instead of round like the one that was originally on it and retracted into the hole. Other than that everything is in great shape.

Just trying to get a little more information so that I purchase the right parts when needed.

Thanks in advance!

Pete

If it is read like a husky tag maybe 1985 ?

Just so you know, it is a Partner made saw.

I had a partner forumla 500. It was the later newer 45mm open port with the new added parts.  Thread in partner board.
