OEM Dolmar 7900 Kits?

[shorthunter]

Anyone ordered one lately? I ordered one and I got a 7910 conversion kit.

Are the true 7900 cylinder kits obsolete?

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Yep

 

[huskihl]

I just bought a 7900. Is there a difference? Just wondering because mine needs one too

I have some nice aftermarket 7900 kits....

Differences....

Differences....

The one on the left looks like it breathes a little better. Or at least has the ability to

 

[shorthunter]

Yep

Well that sucks

They come with the top cover now. I don't care for the slr mating flange though.

Does Meteor make just a piston kit for the 7900?

Unfortunately they do not....I have some good quality Taiwanese ones, but that is all.

Last true 7900 kit I had stashed back I ended up selling to poleman a few months ago. Doubt you can really tell the difference between a 7900 and 7910 cylinder power wise.

Only name brand AM piston I know of is VEC if you can find them. Everything else I have seen has been a white box piston.

What do you have? Bought enough of them to see if the quality is consistent?

 

[Duke Thieroff]

I have the white box as well....only had a few here so far. Look pretty nice.

Want me to measure them for you?

Lol.

Nah you're probably still looking for other stuff needing measured.

Considering that I have two of these saws (PS-6400 & PS-7900) would it be a good idea to buy a true PS-7900 OEM kit to have as a spare?

I'd have to check , but I think one is listed for sale around here , would set me back about 170 Euro / 187 USD.

I have been looking at it ever since I discovered the score marks on my PS-6400 , but the price tag kept me at bay.

Its an MS460 piston. You have to use a thin spacer under your cylinder to make it work and you need to trim the corners of the piston skirt to clearance the crank

only if you like a red top cover otherwise i would just wait till you need it but $187 USD is a pretty good price for us over here. They list for $221. how that compares to you idk

We've sold a bunch of the 7910 kits and nobody has complained (yet) that the performance was not as expected. A new matte black cover comes with the kit due to the relocated decompression button.

That is a heckuva competitive price.

Dolmar has always been ahead of the pack on parts pricing, from what I am able to gather.
