Dolmar 7900 jugs, pistons?

[FourMoCajuns]

Where can someone find 7900 jugs and pistons? I am looking at a Home Depot rental saw and if the price is right I will convert it to the 7900. I already have a great 60cc saw so this one needs to go bigger.
But alas I am counting my chickens before they hatch.

Have you checked with Amick's? Get ahold of Tony Flinchum and see what he can do. Maybe he can put together an AS member's special on a kit to convert the 6400 to a 7900.

Not sure without checking, but the 6400 may use a different carb than the 7900. And a carb for the 7900 is around $100, which might put your rebuild past the point of making sense.

When is Dr. Freak getting back? I would like to hear what he says since he has done a 6400 to 7900 conversion.

bolth saws use the same carb

bolth saws use the same carb

I stand corrected. I knew the 7300 used the same carb, but wasn't sure about the 6400.

I love my 7900. I had it burried in some seasoned walnut with a 20" bar, no slowing it down. It seems to outcut my 385. I need to run them side by side one of these days.

I run my 5100 and my 7900 90% of the time. I pull out the 9010 when I want to run a 24" or larger bar, but I think the 7900 would be very comfortable with a 24" bar. I usually take all three and the 7900 lives with a 20" bar and the 9010 with a 24" bar.

I may pick up a HD unit and order the piston and jug and have a little fun modding it.

Sorry I missed this post. This was when I was out of town for work.

I love mine.

The 5100 and 7900 are the two saws I would keep if I could only have two saws.

Is that enough of an answer for you? lol.

And BTW, the one 6401 that I made into a 7900 had the same carb as my new 7900.

Just be carefull on the home depot blue Dolmars. There are a lot of junk saw floating around out there. I bought a couple that needed major work. It isn't cost effective if you have to do many repairs other than the factory big bore upgrade.

Someone dulled my 32 inch 7900 chain so i threw on a 36 incher, .404 pitch. This is a woods modded saw by Danny Henry. It handles the length just fine, though we were cutting lomardy poplar.
