He may have good pistons but he can keep them. After over a month he offered no resolution what so ever. Ebay had to refund my money and he said I accused him of never shipping, which I never did. He flames all his negative feedback instead of trying to solve the problem. Just bad business.

My saw started out as a Makita DCS 6400. Several years ago I put the 7900 Big Bore kit on I got from Bailey's. It's time for a new piston and Bailey's no longer carries replacement parts for it. So I ordered a piston kit off Ebay that was located in Greece. This was almost a month ago and now...

Thanks again- I went over the chain today and reshaped the rakers. Then I examined each one with a straight edge. Some of them had very little angle so I readjusted them. I'll have to see what I can turn up in the way of file holders.

Thanks BobL. Guilty on the flat rakers. I took 3 to 4 swipes off them before removing the chain from the saw to clean it. Other than a couple of swipes off the teeth this is a new Woodland Pro chain mounted on a 36" bar. It's made 2 and a half passes through an 8' x 16" pine log. If I hadn't...

Well I cleaned everything up and reassembled the saw. After seeing what the wood did in the heat after opening it up I'm moving on to newer wood. When wet it looked OK but quickly dried in this heat and the punkiness is quite obvious. The photo of the chain is after I removed a gummy substance...

Sorry guys- distracted by the Detwiler Fire- almost had to bug out. I'll post a pic soon as I can.

I like your set up M&H, and that walnut! Needle valve lever? I have 3 adjustment screws before getting into carb- low, high and idle. Being a new carb I haven't messed with them. btw- I'm at 3000' elevation.

" progressive raker " I think that might be the most overlooked yet important phrase in this whole game. The chain is out of the box fresh. And yes once I learned the difference between 30 and 10 degrees it was a no brainer. That is why I'm a bit stumped. I'm using a Makita DCS6400 with a...

I'm just getting around to milling up some pine I have on my property. I put a new (bought 18 months ago) Woodland Pro rip chain on and it's not cutting well at all. I'm getting fine dust. I only get ribbons when going through knots. The material is a large sugar pine I dropped 18 months ago...

sixteenacrewood, did you sort this out? I'm having the same problem with my DCS 6401 with the big bore kit. New carb, piston, ring, fuel lines, fuel filter, air cleaner etc. I thought I sorted it out when I found some sawdust in the tank valve and changed the fuel lines but after a slab and a...

Man- I'm at wits end with this thing. I have no top end power! Rebuilt the carb- no help. Put a new carb on- NO help! I really don't think the muffler is clogged but I may just soak it in solvent just for grins. I'm thinking 1- I have a bad coil or 2-heck- I dunno. clogged tank vent? Any ideas?

Guess who's back? I ran my saw on the mill last week. Seemed to run pretty good but it still lacked some power. I ran through 1 tank of gas on 5' of a cut of sugar pine about 24" wide. I usually get 2 to 4 cuts, 8' long on a tank. So I did a compression test and came up with 120- 125#. Of...

I probably should. I don't have a tach but I'm 25 miles from the nearest saw shop. I'll give it a go in the morning. Thanks for the help.

Dang- Finally! After setting the magneto gap to .012" I got my spark back. It fired up but was a quick blast and quit like it was out of gas. Flooded plug after flooded plug I took the top of the carb off. I had put the mesh gasket in after the fiber one so I switched them. It fires up and runs...

romad10 the kit was marked RB-101. It was in a Zama bag so looks like a factory kit. Carb is Zama. I'm guessing the welch plug is the elongated convex part. I never removed the original. I had the needle assembly in and out 3 times. There is movement but it is ever so slight. What is the proper...

I'm looking for coil test and installation specs. I've had this saw for 8 years now. 6 years ago I put the Bailey 7900 kit on it. Recently I used it for dropping some pine trees and it worked fine. When I put it on my mill it was pretty gutless. After it got hot it wouldn't restart. I put a...

Christmas in July ! Sanitary is the word that comes to mind. So what kind of dogs do you have?

Ammonia fumed stools (oak & cedar).

Thanks for sharing. I've never seen one like it. I bet it would come in handy cutting door and window openings in log homes. Very ingenious thinking Bob.
