Finishing up a business trip, I had a few extra hours before my last meeting of the day. Looking for a place to grab lunch, I spotted a small OPE shop that had a tiny Dolmar sign in the window. I walked in, hoping to find a reasonably priced 7900.
Unfortunately, they did not have any 7900's in stock. In fact, they were closing out most of their Dolmar line due to slow sales, or so I was told. I stayed to chat with the sales guy for a while. As I was getting ready to leave, he tells me that he thought he had a "big" Dolmar in the back, that they'd had for some time. He asks me if I might be interested. I pretended to be indifferent, but told him that I'd take a look.
He wanders away for a few minutes, and comes back with this:
Low and behold, it's a really dusty new 9010 complete with a 32" Dolmar bar and chain. He tells me that it'd been in the shop for at least 4 years, and that they really wanted to get rid of it. He gave me such a good price on it, I had to take it home. So much for the 7900 budget, but this saw was much less than the 7900 and 90cc's, so what the heck.
I did a search on the 9010 here, and came up with a bit of information. It looks like the saw would benefit from a muffer mod, which sounds like a plan.
Does anyone have a picture(s) of an "opened up" 9010 muffler?
Any other advice or thoughts on this saw? I can't wait to fire it up and let it rip!
Thanks
