What's on your bench?

[Canadian farm boy]

I had a guy drop this little smurf off to me. Says it runs good for a couple minutes and then dies like it runs out of fuel. I've never played with a makita before. So hopefully I can fix it and maybe learn something too

Same as the old UK Dolmar Ps 420 if memory serves ....My 420 has a Zama carb , not a lot to it other than a Primer bulb . One thing...check throttle linkage on right as i found the rod rubs on the fuel line when your on and off the trigger ..right hand side of the carb.

Fuel line. Those earlier 420's fuel lines weren't ethanol proof.

So I just fired this saw up and ran it for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure it's got an issue with the coil. Once the saw gets hot it starts to cut in and out just like hitting the kill switch on/off very fast. I tried a new spark plug and it didn't help. If I let the saw sit for a few minutes it fires right back up and then repeats the same problem

See above.

I dont know for sure if the 4301 has a rev limited coil but the 420 has 13500 max.

I ran the saw a little more. Weird thing is that at one point it back fired out the exhaust and then a bit later it back fired out the carb.

Gonna go ahead and replace the fuel lines and see what happens

How about a tank vent problem?

As simondo says same as dolmar ps-420 ive just had the same sort of situation with this little devil in the photo
Makita ea4300 2011 model I ended up putting a new coil and a new carb now it runs sweet and has gone out the door but the owner loved this saw and it has been running well until a month ago then everything started going wrong but now he's happy

 

[ajschainsaws]

I've found the coils break down and show first signs when get warmed up

It's a magnifying glass...
Get a better one. This one is ok......but it's hard to get a excellent focus and get the right angle under it

I guess you would prefer to have one with longer distance due RA handpiece.
The one you have is it ring led lights? And what is the magnifying X number?
