Makita/Dolmar parts in the future?

[U&A]

We all know makita it’s going to stop gasoline saw production within the next two years.

What’s that going to mean for parts availability?

Carbs, clutches, P&C, fuel tanks, top covers, plastics, ignitions ....... air filters clutch hub bearings....bla bla bla...

I know there are aftermarket parts available but for how long do we think?

I suspect in time it will be like Partner parts. NLA

I cant imagine husky and stihl will do the same any time soon. They make to much money on saw.....

I hope.

Unless
The EPA pushes them to do it.

Time to slowly start gathering things one might need to keep their Makita or Dolmar running.

Good point

Got some NOS 7900 and 7300 if someone's looking
Its a shame they won't be making any of these no more, dolmar had the 80cc class figured

Not sure I'd do it slowly.....

When you’re right, you’re right!

I saw a nice Dolmar for sale locally for $300. I passed. Figured I'd avoid the inevitable and stick to Husky.

I'm still hoping someone steps in and buys Dolmar back from Makita.

How cool would that be if Dolmar made a comeback as Dolmar!

Im my eyes it will never happen in the states. They would need to spend LOTS of money on marketing in the US and thats a big risk with the stihl and husky followings.

But if it just came back even in Europe then we are golden [emoji16]

Yup! At least that would maybe get some parts into the US market again.
