Thanks everyone for the help! Tank vent checked out ok, so I put a carb kit in and she's back up and running.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help!!

My 12 yo 7900 just developed an issue I don't understand. It starts up and runs great for 4-5 minutes then starts to act fuel starved and dies. It will restart easily and then starve out more quickly each time. Air and fuel filters have been replaced with no change. Ran it without the air...

I hear ya. I found one on Amazon as well for the same money. Going to call the sponsor and order one, as I can't access his web store.

Thanks!

Hello.... been gone from the site for a bit, mostly lurking, but now I need your help. The AV spring on my 7900 broke last week and I can't seem to locate one. Thanks.

Paper or Plastic? When that nice gal at the counter asks that all important question, all you have to do is answer, "Paper". Admittedly, I don't start that many fires these days, as I have an OWB that pretty much stays going once the cold air hits, but when I've been away for a couple days...

Different perspective, but the decomp on the 7900 is the only thing I DON'T like about the saw. I've never seen the need for it, but don't begrudge people who like to use them. My big problem with it is the fact that it is in the perfect spot to make my saw die when I left hand carry and let...

I cut all my wood 24" for my OWB, and the Fiskars does pretty good. Got some really tough Doug Fir w/ big knots and with a bit of technique it gets through well. This is with rounds up to 30" diam

I got a Fiskars SS last year for Christmas, and for the most part like it. I have found that it isn't the "end all/do all" that some people on here would lead you to believe. Some of the stringy Doug Fir that I cut this year yielded much quicker to a 6lb maul in a "block to block" test. Maybe...

It will go vertical. The second lever for the hydraulics pushes the unit straight up and down if you're in wood that's too heavy to lift on the splitter. I didn't bother engaging it, as I had the tractor right there to lift the heavy ones this time.

Those are great lights. I finished up cutting a load of wood tonight by the light of one. Hadn't tried it before, but I was impressed. A guy could work all night w/ one of those lights on. Puts a nice light right where you need it all the time. Didn't feel the least bit unsafe running my saw...

"I stand corrected Wyatt, you are an oak" Asked my FIL some of the questions today, and found out how little I really listen..(= He said 50,000lbs...so about 25ton..makes more sense now. Also, the pump is a 22gpm two stage. I'm guessing you guys will know what that means. All I know is when...

Never used a skidder, but the Farmi type winch and a tractor can definitely do the job. I've been using my FIL's Kubota w/ a Farmi, and the wood it will pull is amazing. Yesterday we pulled out a 30" Doug Fir that had over a cord in it w/o getting the machine out of an idle. They are handy as...

Not a close up, but you can kind of see how he set up the vertical flip. The extra cylinder pushes it up and the extra leg under the beam flips out to add extra stability.

Thanks for the replies. Like I said, I'm a complete "splitter noob". I'm also not very mechanical, and gallons/min and tons of pressure are new terms in my splitting vocab. I'll ask the FIL both your questions this afternoon and get back. I'm pretty sure he said 50tons, but I very well...

The "Lets see your splitter" post inspired me to take some shots a new splitter my Father in Law put together for a friend/customer recently. He wanted to make sure everything ran correctly, and since we had already worked up all of his wood, he brought it across the road to my place and let me...

Insight into the world of Law Enforcement... Here in Region 1, we have no load tickets for firewood. Cutters are "supposed" to keep their permit on the dash of the truck where it is visible for inspection. Passing a loaded truck on a Forest road at 10mph and not seeing a permit in the dash is...

Voted 7900. I ran 44's for over ten years and loved the saws, but they are simply getting impossible to find around here. Decided to give the Dolmar a try 3yrs ago, and couldn't be happier. Great power, light weight, dependable, good price.....what more could a guy ask for?

Better than down your back.... One evening on the way in from a 10hr day of thinning, my crew got a fire call. We were all tired, but excited at the thought of some OT and Hazard pay. With a crew full of mostly rookies, I was the designated fire line saw. Gassed and Oiled up at the truck and...
