Makita MDE3440

Hi guys,
Thought i'd share this find.

Advertised for free on local classified listings as 'not working'.
Got the saw home and saw fell quickly to the ground holding the pull starter. Bugger!

Fast forward a couple of hours and realised decompression valve (on a 34cc saw?) Was in. Pulled it out and felt good compression. Piston and cylinder both flawless.
Original Dolmar chain.
Spark plug not engaged in lead properly and line to tank torn. 15 minutes work and a drink of fuel down the carb and she now starts first pull.

Nice little saw with a metal case.


I believe it's the same as the Dolmar PS340.

Cheers

Thats a heck of a score.  I paid $200 for my 341 which I think is about the same as what you got free!  Good find!
