Which big saw for domestic work?

[mendiplogs]

I didnt plan on getting the 9010, i was looking at a 7900, but the price was that close, it just made sense to get the bigger saw. I'm not a pro user so it should hopefully last me a life time so to speak. Plus i've always fancied a go at milling so it fits the bill nicely.

 

HI HARVEY whats the CC MATE thanks jon

Hi jon, its a 90cc, and when i used it for the first time at the weekend, it felt as tho it weighed 90kg.

Its nice when things work out like that.... sadly i cant say the same after praising my 6800i - she died earlier today.

Took exhaust off and the piston is goosed, i just hope the cylinder can be saved. The gasket along front edge of cylinder has broken up with a small section blown out.

 

I might end up with a 7900 or 9010 yet...

Yeah shes too good a saw to leave as dead!

I was on DLAs site last night and found the piston got the cylinder off this morning and it isnt too bad looking, lots of light scratchings but no deep gouges so it should hone (the 520 i did in the summer was worse!). Even if it wont repair, a new cylinder & piston kit from Makita is £240... abit expensive, but i think itl be worthwhile.

 

Im away all next week so itl be the new year before i get at her.

Wee update - the 6800i's cylinder is honed. Nice and easy job this morning just ordered piston kit, cylinder gasket, heat guard/exhaust gasket and external carb' gaskets.

 

Looking forward to getting her put back together
