I see the problem. You just needed two of the 7900's.
You're Welcome.

Yeah bought one, figured out why their so light, stupid floppy caps leak and bar oil and gas is always empty!
They are nice saws but seriously this one is year old and both caps leak, I’ve had 25 year old saws with old style caps that never leaked.

My entire stable is Stihl and all with flippy caps. Over the years around 6-7 different saws. Not one has leaked except when I get carewless and don't properly seat them.

You should take that saw back to the dealer for new caps.

I go from 500 ft to 2,200 ft and all my M Tronic saws adjust fine.

We never rejetted for under 5k. Don't know how high Nate is but that could make a difference as 2200 isn't really that high. Well....It's high but not that much elevation when it comes to carbs.

Where did your brake go, saw it was missing the other day when it was in your truck.
Heres one of mine.

Tree came a little too close . Snapped where the brake lever mounts to the case broke the ear off. Never got around to fixing it. Couple of spring pins and some JBweld would do it

I had to replace the gas flippy cap on my 460 for the first time

Did a bit of fiskaring this morning before taking the boy to school to get the blood flowing. Was about 20* when I went out there. Love it! I’m not down with 70 and raining in the middle of Jan.

Oh yeah here’s the wee lad working on the dolly

It's enough to play havoc with some of your ported traditional carbs saws! I like just starting and running, instead of starting, adjusting and then running!

All these dolmar post make me wonder what @Dahmer has been up to lately. Haven't seen him around in awhile.

 

[MustangMike]

Well, I got a little delivery today. Guess I can start to have my own little GTG (for a week and a half) before Tax Season with just me, mice elf, and eye!

Haven’t been doing much, blew out 2 discs in my back. Lots of Dr. visits and therapy. Haven’t even been able to bend over and pick up and use a saw.

Do any of you folks burn bark? Been throwing loads of locust and cherry bark in the stove in the mornings instead of small splits. Saves wood and helps clean up around the stacks.

Does it burn well? I have been chucking loads of bark into the wood behind my stack because I thought it didn’t burn well, but maybe I’m mistaken

I keep the larger pieces . The oak bark burns hot and surprisingly long

 

[woodchip rookie]

What kind of oak? I have red (pin?) and it doesnt burn that long

The cherry bark burns hot and fast. If I just want to get the stove hot to take the chill off or keep the house warm till the sun takes over I'll use that. The thick locust bark almost burns like small splits. I used to toss all the bark on are burn pile then someone suggested burning it in certain situations was a better use.

What did you get? Is it Oak?

Believe white oak. Real thick and heavy

I bag about 20 shopping bags and burn en to take the chill off early season. That or get the stove rolling quick. Does leave a lot of ash and dirt.
