dolmar 7900 or jonsered 2171

[dieselfuel007]

i have a 2165 jonsered and was thinking of upgrading i don't have any local dealers for dolmar but i was thinking of a jonsered 2171 or a dolmar 7900 i've ran a 2171 but not a dolmar what are the pros and cons of the dolmar

 

[shawn022]

Won't a 2171 top end bolt on a 2165? I could be wrong going from memory, but if it does that could leave you with a cheaper option and the possibility of a 2171 bb

I don't know about the Dolmar, but the 2171 I have is the best saw I have ever owned for firewood.

 

[Javelin]

both good saws the 7300 is a closer comparison to the 2171!

 

[dieselfuel007]

i was thinking about the 7300 but it weighs same as 7900 i don't think i could forgive myself for buying a saw if their was one that wieghed the same with more power

Buying a 6400 or a 7300 as opposed to buying a 7900,. Makes about as much sense as buying a muscle car like a camaro,mustang,or a dart and getting a 4 or six cylinder.. LOL
I know I had to pull the 4 cylinder out of my 6400 and drop in the 7900 v 8

It will, but the result depends on which carb the 2165 has - it needs to be the Walbro, and not the Zama.

Way over priced .........




You would get more bang for your buck with the 7900 or 2171....


My vote would be 7900

[BloodOnTheIce]

Get the Dolmar 7900.

 

[PB]

I can't believe this, but buy the 7900. If you want a bigger saw, the 2171 is close the 2165 so the biggest gains would be from the 7900.

I love my 2171 though, a lot.

 

[dieselfuel007]

how do i tell which carb it has

On the carb it will say Walbro or Zama....

i have no experience with husqys, but the 7900 does rock.
though functional, the side tensioner is a little bit 'mickey mouse' (my own experience). the saw is light and seems to have more torque than a high revving modern saw should, IMO.
good luck!

7300's are not far behind at all and are a pretty ####in awesome saw! As is the 2171

 

[Javelin]

7300 does not get the respect it deserves because of it's bigger brother! But the 7300 is a mean dud!

 

[Sethro]

That's truth right there you can't tell the difference between a 73 and 79. Coming from somebody who owns them
