my boss knows i'm into saws and today he asks if I wanted to buy a non running Makita. I knew this saw was not even a year old but he seemed to think it was junk. I said how much and he said $100 :laugh: I said ya right i'll give you $10 for it. then he brought out a echo blower and said fix the trigger on this and you can have the Makita. trigger was stuck at full throttle. told him i'd bring them home and bring the echo back in the morning. not sure if the echo ever had a proper working trigger because it was so stiff you could barely manually bring it back. took a dremel to it to remove some plastic and it works good. 2 min fix. after that put fresh mix in the Makita and it fired right up :) neighbor saw me playing with the saw and asked if I wanted to sell it. he offered $100 right off the bat. away it went without a thought :D here are the 2.
