Johnsered 910e...any good?

[robby26wi]

Can get one locally for a decent price...They a good saw??

 

[MOE]

great saw, lots of power parts are getting tough to come by.

The 910 is one of the last "pure" Jonsereds saws to be reseased (1979), the later ones included Partner and Husky influence, and are "E-lux Jonsereds", and lately "Husky Jonsereds".

The 910 has a good reputation, but as MOE said, parts may become a problem.......

Thats pretty low compression, should be around ~140lbs or so in good condition....

hmm ok...can you get rings and piston for it yet?

I have a 920 that I am collecting parts for and was able to get rings from an eBay vender. He was also able to send me rings for a 621, 455, 525 and 111S. Now all I have to come up with is the handles, pull start and air cleaner cover........Bob

If the saw isn't going anywhere soon, try advertising here to see what you can come up with before buying. check e-bay store as well. I could't find an air filter but found new antivibe bushings no problem. Some stuff is still out there.

 

[robby26wi]

well i have a good fleet of saws already and i was thinking about hot rodding it a bit...maybe open the muffler and putting on a larger air filter....How many horse do you think the saw is stock?

 

[SawTroll]

Most likely in the high fives (interpolating a bit), but I have never seen a hp rating on that model.........

 

[robby26wi]

ok...so maybe i will pass then...considering my 7900 would have 1 horse more and weigh like 2 lbs less...

I said high fives, meaning about 5.7 to 5.9.......

 

[robby26wi]

o ok...looking at it saturday so will see...also found a set of rings for it..

My Dad has had one since new. I couldn't guess the hp but it rips with a 24" bar.
