    i have a 22cc makita saw too. can't fault it, lighter than the 150 and it'll run a 1/4 picco chain lik ethe 150 too. strop is round the handle though, not he strop attachment - don;t trust it!

    Is this cankers or this syringae thingy? No fruiting bodies that I can see and tree appears in good leaf but alot of cracks, with what appears to be dead wood. Suspect it needs removing as very close to a garage. Neighbouring tree has started to crack also. What is this? Will it comprise the tree's structure? Thanks Photos coming in a minute just struggling with phone

    i too use a 9'' makita grinder with 9'' discs. works great for out door furniture etc but obviously hard to get a dead flat planed surface you can get 24 grit discs which eats the chainsaw marks out reet quick.

    bet you had to sharpen the chain a few times! nice project

    also worth noting that while the MSA200 looks like it has a carving bar on it its infact a sprocket nose bar running 1/4 which (through experience) will not tolerate being carved with. personally i would get a carving bar, sprocket etc for your 180 and get 50-60cc saw (i made do with a 357xp 18''/15'' bar and an ms170 14'' carving bar for years). if your determined to buy second hand saw give me a pm as i'm in northumberland and should probably downsize saw collection. have fun!

    try to find out what the factory settings are for the saw? usually 1 turn out on L and H and the idle you should be able to tell what a decent tick over speed is without chain creep. my dcs 4301 has a spark arrestor also which glows red. i think this is normal and probably intentional as some sort of emission reduction (might be wrong? but mine has always done this and runs fine and has done for hours of work.) check you plug colour after a bit. good luck

    my husky dealer (david dixon) told me it as a load of scaremongering and sold me some cheaper oregon oil! he said oregon kicked up a fuss at stihl and husky blaming them for siezures and there is no evidence!
  17. billpierce
    spot on!

    billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaws

    thanks to everybody who offered their advice! got a new coil through from germany today (handwerkermarkt24 on ebay.de) for 75euro in delivery instead of £115 plus vat and delivery (makita uk). fitted and away we go. saw seem fine and has cut logs for 1/2 an hour. will give it a run tomorrow. so looks like the limiter on both the coils i had were dodgey thus an intermitent but mostly no spark on the old coil and new spares repair one i bought. thanks again for all the help!

    have done the same with a makita 230t and stihl 1.1 1/4 12'' stihl mini E bar. excellent and worth doing, and same bar mod, though i think with 2 extra drive links it wouldn;t have needed extra tensioner holes, but would still need the a hole cutting through from the centre of the rails to the tensioner hole for oil. there was a thread about doing this with ms200's a while ago also.
  20. billpierce
    nice one!
  21. billpierce
    yes! spot on

    do you always have to return the saw to the place of purchase or will some dealers honour a warrenty anyway as presumably the costs are passed on to the manufacturer?
