272 coil conversion to Dolmar 7900

[rahtreelimbs]

Why change the coil anyhow? unless you want more WOT rpm (?????), just tune it correctly with the limited coil..

That is what I don't get. In the wood a 7900 should never hit the limiter!!!

It does with guys that have big saws in small wood.. just part of CAD...opcorn:

7900 wasn't meant to cut pekker pools.........AKA broom handles!!!

But

Those coils are Chinese.....so you will just be looking for more revs again in a couple of hours

Andy, if some yutz is constantly running a 7900 against the limiter he deserves what he gets!!!

Is this a pekker pole? Worthy of a big saw?

No pekker pole there...........thats what a 7900 was meant to cut!!!

I like the dust cover on that 7900

Please dont give ma too much grief on my cutting methods, this damn tree was a major PITA. I trashed 4 chains due to previous homeowners driving nails into this tree in years past. I have a whole day of sharpening to do now thanks to that and catching up on what needed sharpening before this little deal.

That is one confused Dolmar.......now it's in red bar drag

Good lookin' 64 there. WHY MESS WITH A 7900! opcorn:

Hahahaaa, thats what I thought too. Its gonna get a longer bar before too long, and not in the same dress.

The 064 with the 20" setup was for ripping the rounds down. I was real pissed because I hurt the full comp round and skip square 28" chains Andy sent with the saw. Plus I trashed the skip setup for the Dolmar and a 16" RSC Stihl chain for the 361 that was brand new.

A $50 zircom metal detector (used for rebar in concrete ) suddenly seems cheap!

Amen. That IS a damn nice 064 The 7900 is all part of CAD as described earlier. The Dolmar has monster torque, but you see I still go to the Stihls when I want the most fun. Stihls just feel right, but I will probably keep the Dolmar, at least for a while.

Yah.....you can wire it into the "Electronic quick stop"

bars/flip

I see all the bars on your saws are rightside up, do you flip them all at the same time? I can't say the same for my saws as I flip the bars after a good workout and not all get flipped at once. Wear and tear gets spread over the top then the bottom rail.

Yes I flip my bars every time i sharpen the chain. I never even noticed they were all letters up. Thats cool, I didnt do that just for the picture.
