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!

Hello Ray, if your still able to share a PS9000 manual i'd appreciate a copy thanks.

Here are the after photos, maybe my mate needs to go to the gym, started on the 3rd pull with the fuel that was in it. Looks a PO has mucked around with it abit, dunno whats gonig on with the bar mounts, it works though. I dont think the mufflers would normally be welded?, bars are both the...

Was chatting to a mate of mine who had three saws to give away as he has got a good electric saw, some green saw, a Husky and a big loud Dolmar. I snapped up the Dolmar and swung him a bottle of rum, all he knows about it is its had the top end rebuilt and is hard to start. Pulling the rope it...
