I'll hit you up when I am ready to deal with the new Brexit headache of bringing a 7900 over to ireland.

Couple years back, the 420 Dolmar I had started acting same symptoms as your 4300. Replaced carb with new one, and several other repairs. Finally, replaced ignition module with new one and it was fixed.

Hi mate, I googled my fault with a DCS500 and your reply popped up, have started a new thread to help others, did you use the Chinese coil and is it still ok? Thanks John

And by golly, coil fixed it!! I'll put it in some wood tomorrow.

Having the same issue with a Makita DCS500 but the stakes are higher in Australia as the OEM coil is over $230 a bad joke.
How is the AM coil going in your saw, thanks John

I've only put a few hours on the saw doing some trim work here and there but a few weeks ago it fired right up and ran well for the job at hand.
