PART FIT PERFECTLY!
I had to replace the switch for my Makita because I foolishly dropped the machine. This part was a perfect fit, priced well, and arrived quickly, even during the pandemic! I highly recommend and would certainly order from this company again.

With a little effort the blower now works like new.
I ordered the switch and the manual throttle lever for my Makita. I use this blower extensively during hay season to keep my machines clean so it gets beat up in the back of the truck. The parts are a perfect fit and I was up and running in two cups of coffee.

exact replacement part for Makita gas blower
The part is an exact match for my Makita gas blower. Finding the parts needed were easy with the extensive parts diagrams available on ereplacement parts website. I've bought parts here in the past and continue to return due to the simplicity of finding the parts I need and the best prices on the web, even when factoring in the cost of shipping.

Perfect match to factory switch
This is a perfect match to the factory switch on my Makita blower. It's a little trick to replace but with a little patience and a Philips screwdriver the switch is replaced. Blower is back in action. I've purchased a few of these switches as I have 9 Makita leaf blowers (that occasionally fall off a golf cart). Perfect match to what was originally there.

Removed the screws on the side body of the blower and lifted off the engine housing to allow switch body and slide to be removed. When I saw how far I had to reach to replace the full switch I simply replaced the red plastic slide and re-assembled the unit. Has worked well so far.
