Is the p and c kit a do-it yourself project with little saw work experience? And also, do the Makitas have the same cylinder lining as the Dolmars?
It's so easy...even a caveman can do it. ! (Trust me I've done it and I'm a unemployable Banker...)
really it's that easy, if you can read the manual you can do it. need a long shaft T27 torx drive and a ring compression tool makes it easier but thats about it.
Also the Jugs and Slugs are exactly the same. All parts are exactly the same, Dolmar is owned by Makita and makita just markets the Dolmar through direct dealer channels.
