Chainsaw parts

Can anybody tell me where I can buy a brake assembly for a Partner 510 chainsaw....

The whole sideplate with brake and handle or just the brake band?
These saws are pretty old now, approaching 40 years!
It might be time to start thinking about retiring it for a new model with parts backup?
Ebay.com may be your best bet.
or try www.chainsawr.com

You're right CJ... Have already decided to go that way.... Am looking at a Pro Plus 50cc (chinese I know, but have been told they are surprisingly good value at around e200.....). I'm only an occasional user, my partner (chainsaw) lasted 12 yrs..engine is still vg

DI Dwyer

have sourced the part I need...........The side panel plastic around the clutch overheated.... I assume it's related to lubrication, but I had been adding chain oil as required.... never happened before.... is there something else I should be looking at as a possible cause?

Sounds like worn clutch shoes to me, once they start to slip they generate a lot of heat.
Is the clutch bell blue from heat?

DI Dwyer

On closer examination, yes there is sign of heat but not overly so..... Anyway, Have taken delivery of the new Pro Plus 50cc, 20" bar & oregan chain... Cut a few logs last night... seems like a good buy for £138 and was next day delivery... Wont be using the supplied face shield though... I reckon you'd want a head like a frying pan for it to fit.....
Against.....It's a much heavier saw than the Partner 510 and the brake handle isn't as sturdy as the Partner's.
