ya the 7900 isn't that great really....only a few hobbyists own it...never really dabbles in the commercial environment. If you like it that is great...but it isn't anything special.

Easy hills stopping and accelerating aka the real world. Think of it this way, at one point manufactures could claim any number they wanted to, same with the joke gross HP. The old 454's wouldn't make 150 SEA HP today. Standards aka laws didn't exist at the time, I'm glad they do now!!!!!!!!!
if u like them thats great, but your in the minority. like i say they aren't anything special. they are just and underengineered saw with little marketing. if u like them thats great at least they sold one to someone that is happyHahaha now you're just trying to get me going.:redface:
The manufacturers had nothing to do with the specs back then.
At that time we had the "Mobilgas Economy Run"!
Across the entire nation using the exact same gasoline and each vehicle had a driver provided by the manufacturer and a "spotter" supplied and trained by Mobilgas to spot any cheating.
Each manufacturer also supplied a mechanic to travel with their fleet to maintain the vehicles along the way.
The vehicles were taken directly off of the showroom floor by secret buyers.
The drivers and spotters were selected at random by lottery each morning so relationships couldn't be reliably formed between the two.
I think I'll take that over what we have now.
Bet that comes as a surprise!

Well, that's quite a rant, and I agree with some of it. You've got some stuff right but you're still stuck with this misty-eyed view of technology. There is more than one thing going on, and the world is not black and white and all things are either 100% good or 100% bad. You can't point at a part of the system and say "that's it, that's the evil part and everything would be OK if we got rid of that". It's the whole thing. The EPA is like that - it's done some good things and some stupid things. It's full of people with faults and eventually like most organizations the main point becomes self perpetuation. Yes, the corporations and manufacturers, in collusion with governments, are trying to rip you off and get you to buy stuff you don't need. That is how our entire system works, it's the purpose of advertising. It's the purpose of this site, which is essentially an infomercial for its sponsors. I laugh every time I read about some guy with 2 acres and a garage full of expensive pro saws trashing a homeowner Poulan. But is this site entirely bad? No.Ah, the battle between old and new...
I'm outta here. I'm still amazed that there are quite a few clueless assclowns out there regarding lots of stuff.
At least not everyone is so clueless as to what the hell is going on. BTW, stock market investing is a bad idea... find better stuff to invest in, like stuff you can actually have in your hands. The stock market has been and will be manipulated...
... and my personal number one on the crap list, “Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature”… makes me wanna’ puke. ...

Everything in our environment and our society is based on growth driven by fossil fuel.
The manufacturers had nothing to do with the specs back then.
At that time we had the "Mobilgas Economy Run"!
The main fossil fuels used are not really interchangeable. Coal and natural gas are mostly used for electrical generation and heating while oil is used for transportation (and OPE of course). And in this country we use the military and the banking system for energy policy, not the EPA!Right, the basic problem is that fossil fuel is wasted on making electric power and heating buildings. If that wasn't the case, most of the problem would go away, and the reserves would last a lot longer!
That is what the EPA should consern themselves with, instead of herassing the industry and people by making complicated rules regarding products that is of little or no consequense to the situation.
WOW!!!
Let's just resort to personal attacks when we diasgree with what someone says!!!
Was that trip really necessary?:msp_sneaky:

And there will still be lots of good old fashioned saws out there for nuts like us who like to use and work on them.
