Easy to mistake if you are new to chainsaws.
I also received the 2 plastic spare parts. No idea what the second one is, but I can say you are going to need more than 1 spare starter sprocket. Before the end of my first tank of fuel I had stripped the plastic teeth off the first one I had, and now that I have gone through about 5 tanks more, I saw that the teeth on the replacement are almost gone. I contacted the seller and they sent me a complete side cover, starter mechanism and all. I did notice that moulded into the inside of the cover was "Partner". Maybe this could suggest a source of better quality spares.
The air filter setup looks like it was designed by someone who had seen one, but didn't understand its workings. In effect, its just a hollow box with gauze panels. It doesn't seal to the carby, nor does it filter the fine dust out.
I bought it because I didn't want to carry my good saws around in the toolbox on the ute all day. I just needed something basic to clear trees from the tracks and dock up a bit of firewood if I had room on the back of the ute before heading home. I'm still not happy with it, but it will do until I can find a second hand Stihl or Husky at a good price.
