I saw it come up and thought thats a deal for the price and woulda jumped on it had I not got one a few weeks earlier.

New B/C + scabbard day. 24'' Bar and S85 chain, I do really like the Tsumura bars.

Got parts in the way see if they fix it, switch and wire probably have them in a few weeks

Got a tach this week and confirmed mine has the 11,500 coil.

Do you know what year it is? Mines a 9000 but different in that the Dolmar plate is riveted as is the build plate (1992 for mine).

4300 packed for a few days out bush camping firewood use

Good upsell, i've ordered that too.

I had a play with it yesterday, had it running, for a couple of minutes and it stopped. Re-started and ran for another 15mins no issue, it feels like a bad ground/wire as you have suggested. I've ordered a new switch and contemplating a 9010 coil and flywheel.

Hmmm maybe its no the switch, started it cold this morning, ran for about 2 minutes, without touching the switch it stopped and wouldnt restart

Thanks for the details mate, I found a couple places with the switch in stock, will give them a go.

I lost the circlip holding the sprocket on my 5600F, is there anything special about them or should I just order one from Makita, what size ? Also found out my PS9000 has a bad on/off switch. My mate said it was always hard to start, I had it going last night and it wouldnt turn off by the...

What size bar are you running on the 7901? I just order a Tsumura Light 24''

Everyone likes new parts, these are for my PS9000, thought I was gonna really struggle to get the muffler cooling plate, but turned out easy from a localish online store, ordered and 10 days later it arrived. More parts are coming from North America, should have those next week.

Bit of a thread dig, do you know which years Dolmar 9000 had the unlimited coils? I've seen two people mention it online, where as everyone else says they are 11,500 till the 9010. I have a 9000 with a black oil built in 1992, I'll have a tach in a few weeks to check it.

I've currently got a 20'' on my 7901 from when it was a 6401, I think moving to a 24'' will be its sweet spot, below it a 18'' on my 5600F.

Looks like its a 0.58 bar. chain on it now is 0.58, I can slide 0.63 feeler gauges into the groove but it is a sliding fit, not a clearance fit.

Thanks! I will pop the chain off and use some feeler gauges to measure the bar groove width.

I picked up this saw over the weekend, came with two 32'' Homelite bars, what gauge would they be and any concerns running 0.404 chain on them? Thanks

Pistons good, mufflers a little iffy on the back side, missing cooling plate too. Ordered new plate and gasket.

Thanks for the details mate!
