Re looking at your pic, and reading your description, very possible you lost a bearing cage, and when the piston ate it, that was it. If that is the case, your jug will likely be scratched and not just have transfer on it.

Couple fish from our boys annual fishing trip. Pike and walleye and a few smallmouth bass were the mix.
Total fire ban in the area due to an exceedingly dry year this is smoke from one of the fires. We were camped 60 kilometers from the closest fire and smoke was visible when the wind blew in! It was a shame because there was a big pile of Free firewood at our camp!
It was worth it mac. now if it was spruce............................

hmmm....the "white oak" in this area must not be white or its another species of white. I'll try to get a bark/leaf pic.
makita must be struggling. 7900 delivery now delayed to september!
Wouldnt that mean they are oversold?
Well I'm not sure who to blame, the website i ordered from (who btw have charged me and had my money since 6th June) or Makita who are being stunning slow. reading arbtalk (uk and boring version of this site) people that returned saws for repair are still waiting on their return .... I'm seriously considering the husqvarna 365 x torque, its £565 with a 20" bar. so £15 more for a horse power less saw, but in stock and my local dealer has it, rather than this annoying far off website.
How much for an American (dealer or AS friend) to mail to you?
365 is a great saw but a lot less power than the 7900
Less than one hp difference which you won’t notice unless you have a 28” bar buried in hardwood. Even then the Husqvarna will do the job. You will just have to wait that extra 3 seconds per cut. 365xt is a great saw, I had one and loved it. For a guy heating his house in the city and cutting in his yard, any number of 50ccclass saws would suffice.
I have to disagree on not noticing the power difference.
postage on saw across te pond....i may as well reach deeper and get that ms461 basically.
It is annoying....I know the makita is a heck of a deal. However the slow slow slow way they are dealing with this recall ( a problem that apparently UK makita dealers had known of and fed back to makita over a year ago) and the fact that there are very few makita dealers, any problems will be a PITA to rectify, and this on going delay.
vs
the husky...a very good saw but somehow will feel a disappointment after the makita....but from my local dealer 15-20 mins away. rather annoying but IF id ordered back in June they had a deal on husky saws of 4 free chains. ....I've emailed my local dealer to see if I can get them to do the saw with that deal for me.

now this is why i'm talking saws here, not in the saw section. here is honest views expressed well, saw section is.....different.

Cut and split lots of the year old oak today. Wet just like it was cut yesterday. I ran the 257 with a new full chisel chain, it ate the oak up. Thank goodness red oak is so light
. I want to get a new saw for next year but another car may come 1st.

While a husky is not really my cup of tea the 365 is a breadwinner , if it doesn't have enough power get a 372 p/c and instant upgrade but 65cc to 72cc is close .
16" and down it will be more than plenty of saw and if you have a good dealer to support your habit , well ,,, you decide lol
Hey Neil , you guys set a heat record yet ?

Is the 372 not available? That’s well over halfway up to the 7900 in power difference from the 365.
Is this the 70 cc 365? You could fix the transfers (very easy) and have a 372. Muff mod and timing advance and now you are probably outcutting the 7900. Although if you are cutting in urban areas perhaps a muff mod isn’t a good idea?

It's a coal fired water heater , in nice shape with a perfect looking water jacket so for 30 Cnd Kopeks , it stayed behind lol
Now , to wait for a vessel that will hold water and make a wood fired hot tub

I think svk is correct on the 365xt being 70cc .
It is a 70cc saw. The transfer baffle is the only difference. I read up on all of that when I first got my 365xt. It cut so strong that I never messed with it. I had an 18” bar which it pulled with authority. I really liked that saw. Only reason I got rid of it was I got a crazy deal on the Stihl 460 and I felt it would have a better resale so I kept it.
Well, I should hope a 70 cc saw pulls an 18" bar with authority. My ported 261 pulls it real nice. Mostly run 20s on my 60 and 70 cc saws.
