most chain saw chain sprockets are either 1/4 or 3/8" pitch
in your case I would suspect it is 3/8 pitch
measure the distance between the link pins ( not the teeth but the pivot pins of the chain itself )
after that the sprocket will be available as a generic sprocket from any chain saw shop or mower shop
Talons went bust but are being reproduced under a new brand name ( ozito I think)
talon chain saws have two control switches before they will start. One is the trigger that you pull and the other is a button or lever that has to be held in at the same time. These two controls mean that you have to have both hands clear of the chain before it works.
I am not sure if you have figured out how to put the chain back on your saw or not, but it doesn't take long.
1. Remove the plastic yellow "T" shaped nut on the right side of the saw (towards the front of the motor housing)
2. Remove the black plastic housing that covers the rear section of the bar and chain
3. Place the chain back onto the bar making sure it is facing the correct direction.
4. Place the chain over the rear sprocket area
5. Turn the +/- yellow plastic knob (towards the back of the saw on the right side) in the - direction until the metal guide inside the plastic casing lines up with the hole in the chainsaw bar
6. Replace the black plastic housing and slightly tighten the yellow "T" shaped nut.
7. Now turn the +/- knob until the chain is tight. Once the chain is tight, turn the "T" nut until it is tight and you are ready to cut again.
You need an AC voltmeter to check things--measure across the switch contacts (switch off) for ~120 volts. Have someone press the switch while reading voltage--it should go to 0 volts (switch is good). Check for 120 volts at the motor connections (switch pressed--good). Check the motor brushes for damage or worn too short. The springs should appear bright brass colored and expand full length. If dark colored and collapsed, the springs need to be replaced. If no power from the power cord, look for a broken wire--usually at the plug end. A high load on the motor can cause the brush springs to overheat and collapse. Make sure the chain moves easily and is properly oiled. Make sure the air venting for the motor is not plugged with sawdust. Hope some of this helps!
From the Makita manual: If the saw does not start when the ON/OFF switch (1) is actuated, it will be necessary to release the chain brake. - Pull the hand guard (6) firmly in the direction of the arrow until you feel it catch. electric motor does not function no power supply cable defective chain brake actuated Mains fuse blown HTH Lou If these don't work return it, maybe it is defective. Test the new one in the store.
first check the oil filter from the oil tank,the oil hose,remove the oil pump and check it(especially the plastic gear inside,if it worn is because of the bearings from crankcase).Clean the holes where oil goes.
