shavey

Has the saw gone back yet Bill just out of interest did the Saw go back too Milton Keynes or to a makita service agent and the piece they pop riveted on the front was it metal or plastic

If and when you need the change over parts I will have them soon give me a shout and I will be interested too see what brake flag they send over

Hello Bill I have only sold one complete handle and the actual saw handle after a accident in the forest with one 7910 ive sold a few brake bands over the years and a few springs but never a brake flag through everyday use they should be concerned as you’ve not even used it also I noticed your spring is lost a bit of tension the retaining cup just needs a bit rounding of the end

Hello Bill that is bad cant beleive they would do this , surely drilling a safety handle isn’t a good idea , if you drilled a safety hard hat HSE wouldn’t allow this can you send me some very very good detailed photos so I can chase it up I wouldn’t dare send a safety handle back too anyone in this state obviously they’ve drilled it to put this sticker on the pop rivet has put pressure on the plastic then it’s had a bump via courier delivery thankfully breaking it before you used it it it will be interesting too see the handles that come from Dolmar

I’ve had notification that the chainbrake parts are in , my order of the new mechanism and band will be dispatched today will be interesting to see what they’ve done

They look ok mixed and matched

Great news

Yes they are big quite big but they look good That Makita is genuine it’s how there being sold now in the USA both the same colour now I don’t know how long Makita UK will keep going with the teal colour

Bill those spikes I’ve been told are NLA in the EU but I’ve ordered five sets and some wrap handles from the USA so I will keep one set back for you

The future Makita maybe ??

Yes it is a very good Saw for the money these have it in stock if you wanna get your money back and spend on a one sooner https://www.fastfix.co.uk/makita-ea7900p45e-79cc-petrol-chainsaw-45cm.html

Hello I presume You’ve paid your money in full so you should be entitled to a date for delivery

Yes it is Bill , for me the hardest OPE company too get a consistent year in year out regular trade without long waits

Been in contact with Makita about the time scale on this recall and they have been asking people to give details of there saw and then it’s been collected as you all have said But the problem lies with the fact they haven’t got the spare parts in hand too do this warranty recall , as there is a worldwide shortage of these parts . This chassis With the different size engines in red and blue has been sold in the thousands worldwide since 2015 I have contacted Dolmar where these models are produced and there in the same boat no parts availability the new 2018 models are on back order so it will be weeks before they will be on the shop counter customers that have bought these saws from me , there will be a demonstrator Saw available if you get in a fix and need a bigger Saw to cover there 7910 going in for warranty repairs So please check with Makita or message me before sending in your Saw and hopefully either way you will get an answer on time taken too fix but please don’t worry it is a fantastic Saw don’t be afraid to purchase one in the future Red or Blue there exactly the same

No problem glad too help send up some photos when you got the saw suited and booted

Yes just sent you a PM @Warrior89 i usualy keep most of the Husqvarna and makita/ Dolmar wrap handles in stock but sometimes they sell out quicker some weeks , and tend too buy a large box full of mixed handles every 6 weeks or so husqvarna models below 357-359 , 562 , 365-372 , 576 , 390 , 394-395 sometimes when I can get them 281-288 , 298, 1100, 2100 and 2101 dolmar makita 6100 , 6410,7310,7910 9010 been looking into getting some wraps for the echo cs-620

It does sound like ignition troubles but as Stubby says it might be low compression; when hot Couple of questions what year is the Saw , is it easy start there has been upgrades with coils and flywheels and these don’t match up with older saws sometimes I’ve spent many hours trying to match up flywheels with new coils this family of saws has diffferent flywheels and coils to the profi range the coil number you need is 181-143-206 if you want any parts or help give me. A shout

thanks Alf looking good there

Good find Stere. It is always a good thing comparing these products helps everybody

Hello Alf will message you now thanks

Just out of interest back then what was your difference in price between fencing and pulp , ours was £4.50

Yeah if you could rails ,5ft 6” stakes and the odd gatepost and not too much pulp you would do ok but you needed too cut and stack 5m for a good wage

Don’t worry Bill this sounds like a national thing so it should go too your nearest makita dealer also I’ve been slacking on those big spikes

Fantastic video Reg great footage amazing scenery

Can I send you a PM about this tree in Dunster I forgot about it Douglas fir is my favourite tree I’ve cut enough of them over the years also you got that ole big one down at eggesford in the heywood F.C plantation
