Mangled makita!

[Python]

I got asked by a mate to give his saw a quick service as it wouldn't start...... Not quite the £10 service he was hoping for.

The cylinder looks like it may be salvageable with only that big chunk out of the sxhaust side of the piston that would worry me in regards to the damage it may have done to the cylinder!

There's a few pretty angry grooves in the cylinder that you can't see in the pic the saws that new he hadn't even sharpened the original chain I'll have a look for a new piston and see how it goes

Spud, if that piston/cylinder is salvagable what would it cost to repair? Iv a Dolmar 115i with similar damage i want to get working again but price for new piston and cylinder makes it not worth it.

 

Thanks in advance.

I obtained my piston from here Dolmar Stützpunkt 24 - Benzinmotorsägen

They were very good, if you need help I speak the lingo.

Let Spud have a look at the cylinder first though.

Sourcing a new piston and cylinder isnt really the issue - the price makes it almost uneconomical. Im very surprised no-one makes replacement parts for the 115 and Mak 520, as iv found theres lots of tidy saws with knacked pistons and cylinders across the country.... prime example is my 6800 is about £60 for piston and cylinder, same parts for 115 were £280 last time i looked! Makita 520 was only £350 new....
