no and no
echo #91060 is what i use but I am not sure if they are still available, they were "while supplies last" a few years ago when i bought mine

not sure on the Makita number.

So the carb tool is going to be a pain to find? I will have to try and look closer at it tomorrow.

Is it the socket or the O/D that is different to the normal DD ?

this tool will fit inside of a standard DD tool. think of it as a "mini" DD

I contacted Zama Directly and they don't have that tool. Told me i would have to buy direct from Makita to get one.
So I called them and they will not sell me one sense I am not a dealer. So as a repair shop I can not tune a zama carb with this set up. I don't feel good I would have to turn a customer away because of a tool I am not allowed to get .

They may be available in Canada, although the USA EPA may consider importing one as a more serious crime than the RCMP feels about full-auto M16s.

I havent figured out why echo has that screwdriver....it isnt used on any of their equipment

Hmm cutting side by side and back and forth with the 3601 and 421 is interesting. Some of the fit and finish of the 3601 is a fair bit better then the 421. Like the throttle trigger both feel and function. Man I can't wait tell I get some time to go to the timber and work them side by side for a few days.

Here is a little video I did of the tooless side cover. It has some extra weight to it. But I don't know if it is from the tooless set up or the break for the outboard clutch. I think the tooless set up is the heft.

I've been super busy, just started my new job. I'm hoping to get to play with it more shortly. And I have some chain to test for Nate on it.

I did run mine a bit last night but I need to get a good weekend of work logged on it to develop much opinion.

I am hoping to play with mine more as well but I am tied up with work. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

 

[Nitehawk55]

And unfortunately my contact at Echo Canada has retired so I can't help with that Corey .

 

[Gravedigger]

I'm interested in this Makita to keep my other Makita company.

A saw with tooless clutch cover and chain tensioner really should have tooless caps. Just saying.
