    I'm looking at light alternatives to a 372. I can get a 2083 or 7900?

    Dolmar Makita 6400, 7300, 7900 HD Air Kit

    I’m after an air kit for my Dolmar. I’m installing a 7900 piston and cylinder and want to put a filter kit on it as well. I know about the HD filter kit from Sawagain.com but want to know if there are any other alternatives. Possibly if I can buy just the intake elbow and clamp on a different...

    Anyone sell a ready-made modded muffler for a Makita 7900?

    Just bought a new Makita 7900 PHO for $731 shipped and was wondering if anyone makes any ready-made modded mufflers? I'm a little concerned about splitting the muffler and gutting/modding it, since I don't have a backup in case I screw up. And, if you haven't looked, OEM mufflers aren't cheap.

    Want to Buy Scored Dolmar 7900 Top End

    As the title says, I'm looking for an "unusable" dolmar 7900 cylinder and piston. Seized, scored, circlip gouges, broken fins.... doesn't matter to me. I'd actually prefer it to be junk as I wont be running it and don't want to waste good parts just to satisfy my curiosity. My only requirements...

    Dolkita 64xx/73xx/79xx chain catcher upgrade

    I recently upgraded my former Home Depot rental DCS-6401 to 7901. While doing so I took the opportunity to freshen up a few things like the guide plate, chip guide/deflector, the "sponge" near the chain brake lever linkage, chain catch, etc. A little back story... When I got the saw the...

    Dolmar/makita 7900 oil mod

    I've got an idea to help the 7900 saws get a bit more oil on the chain, or at least make the adjuster screw last a little longer. Most have seen @jar944 oiler screw he turned out of 6160, but I realize that it is out of many people's resources. So, I plan to remove the end nub off of the plastic...

    Makita DCS6401 carburetor replacement

    I've had this Makita dcs 6401 since 2008 and it has worked great until i was cutting thru some nice oak when it lost power and stalled. I waited 15 minutes to cool off, pulled cord and no compression (easy pull). I installed a replacement big bore kit after finding some damage (i think I can...

    Sold Makita DCS7900

    So I thought about buying a Saw yesterday and was going to spend a decent amount of money on it and decided it just wasn't for me, but it was going to be a last hurrah before having to cut back on my buying, so I decided to get something I really want, and that's a makita dcs7900, ported or...

    Dolmar 7910 ring end gap

    New 7910 OEM piston and cylinder. Out of good practice I'm going to check the ring end gap before installing. I see the FSM states a max of .020". But no insight for what it should be like when new. If .020 is the wear limit. Should I be concerned if it tested to .014"? I checked it really...

    MMWS Stihl 461 vs. Dolmar 7900 ported?

    I currently have a Stihl 461 ported by MMWS. I love the saw! It cuts great, starts easily and is a very fun saw. Now here's where the question comes in. I have always been partial to Stihl. I know this is a very debated topic as to whether Stihl is the best or not - I like them and never had...

    Sold Large saw >70cc for milling

    I'm pretty new here, but I've been watching the threads for a while now to try and buy a large milling saw to replace my makita 6401 with BBK that the dealer says needs new bearings now, but haven't found the right one in my price range (those 6401's can be quite the deal). I'm looking for...
