  1. These are what i wear all year round really. I get mine from toolstation, about £2:20 a pair. Hardwearing and comfy.
  2. Hi Andrew, glad the saw is still going strong. Have you had any experience with the brushcutters.
  3. I put a 28" oregon bar and full chisel chain (oregon lpx) on her. I got a couple of these chainsat the same time as the bar and i think they are really good. Although when they need replacing i'm going to try stihl chain, as this is what i'm now putting on the rest of my saws with really good results.
  4. Good point turtle, never thought about redex, but can you use it on 2 stroke gear. I have taken the saw into my local repair centre, as like i said i am no mechanic and never will be. Interestingly, i was talking to the guy there and he said it probably was a carb fault on it. But he also said that they are now putting more and more ethenol in fuel and its causing loads of problems with the settings/tuning on saws and other 2 stroke machines in general. Yes the 9010 is a beast i got by accident. I wanted the 7900 but for an extra £30 quid or so i thought sod it and got it. Glad i did now. Hated it at first with a solid nose bar and multicut chain. Swapped the bar and chain over and its a completely different saw.
  5. i always thought that partner was either based on or part of mcculloch. The first picture looks very similar to a home owner mac. I'm sure years ago machine mart used to sell both macs and partners, and they were near identicle to look at.
  6. I thought it was a booster every 10 yrs, if you had no incidents in between.
  7. this happened to me last year, went to bed fine, woke up next morning in agony. went to work till dinner then went to a&e. Found out that it was a fine eye lash that had curled under my eyelid.Every time i blinked it scratched my eye.
  8. logrover, my makita 4300 is poorly at the mo as well, we might be able to get a good saw between us.
  9. Hi turtle, the fuel was at least 2 months old, i mix a gallon at a time, but sometimes it takes a couple of months for me to use it, as i dont use my saws every day. Incidently ive ran my new 9010 on the same fuel with no problems. Ive just got some fresh fuel which im going to mix and try. cheers.
  10. Cheers spud, luckily the piston seems fine, no scoring at all. I got the sparks after i had run it on fresh fuel for about 10 mins on and off. The problem now is i tried altering the L screw and S screw and not too sure where they should now be set at.
  11. Anybody any idea, spud, shavey, gardenkit ??
  12. Can i also add, that i put fresh fuel in and changed the fuel filter, but neither did anything to correct owt. Also when i got it back to my garage, i messed about with it a bit and altered the 's' and 'l' screws, so now i'm not sure of the correct settings for these.
  13. Hi, started up my trusty 4300 this morning for the first time in about 2 months (it did have old fuel in), it took a while to start up which is unusual, but it then ran ok for about 5 mins. After that it started to 'pip/pop' type of thing with revs dropping and fighting to keep going. I also noticed the spark arrester inside the exhaust was glowing fire red. I turned the saw off and let it cool a little. After 5 mins the saw started and ran ok, but then within minutes it was running crap, and then i was getting the odd spark flying out of the exhaust. So any ideas please. Please be aware that i am not technically mind so you will have answer in basic terms please.I have also took a few photos of the saw. Thanks Harvey.
  14. Haha, just noticed, even my trailer is makita blue !!!!
  15. Heres my little beast, a makita dcs9010, just after cutting a trailer load of firewood.:thumbup:Running it with an oregon b&c has made a hell of a difference to the saw, after it came with a solid nose bar.
  16. i got mine from machine mart, about £20 for cs protection. I had to wear them for my course, but i dont for everyday use.
  17. Wow !, some seriously good looking girls there.
  18. Not got a clue jon, only ever had a cheap springer years ago. I was just curious thats all.
  19. Who ever did it ought to be shot. Hope you get back up and running john.
  20. very nice, have you any plans for it steve.
  21. I have a standard oregon one. no frills, does what you want it to do.
