Dolmar heavy-duty filter kit PS-7900

If there was only a way to make this bad boy fit. It maybe possible with an xd top but man it would be a lot of fabrication.

6100 filter?

6100 filter?

Yes sir.

 

[mdavlee]

6100 seems to be way over killed on the filter. Hopefully the new 90cc offering will have that good of a filter.

6100 filter is way way overkill but i like it. 1 1/2 yrs of cutting and i never cleaned mine.

I don't remember what an air filter is after getting used to the 6100. It's dangerous lol. Idk what I'll do with 7900 yet. Since I have the shiny cyl cover it would match nice. Too bad I'm getting married in 3 weeks. No extra cash lol

When we had the factory (Germany) guys here last fall I asked if they could use the 6100 filter media on the 7900/5105 air filters.

If so, it likely contributes to a bulky and not so well handling saw?

nah...thats the inboard clutch that kills the handling

nah...thats the inboard clutch that kills the handling

That's no doubt the biggest culprit, but it all adds up!

Sadly, the German brands seem to have forgot how to make well handling saws, like they occationally did in the past.

Good info right there, thanks Nathan

No problem...

Also you might like the idea of adding some 100% pure silicone to the edges of the air intake boot edges to seal it up better... Just a hint from a hack...

Here is my $0.02. Personally I think it hurts performance slightly. Going from the standard filter to the hd kit every saw I have installed them on needed leaned out just a bit.

Throw that pre filter away. The fines slip past it and into the paper filter pleats.....then the pre filter holds them there effectively plugging the filter pretty quickly.

The poor glue issue was resolved long ago and any kit you buy today won't have that issue.

On to the color issue since I was just asked about this today. Hd filter comes with the shiny black cover.
7900 red cylinder cover is nla
Shiny black cover only fits saws with left side decomp.
Matt black cover has the right side decomp.

What that means is if you have a 7910 the cylinder cover will be flat black and the air filter cover will be shiny black

Unless you were smart enough like some makita idiot to order 5-6 of the shinny 7900 cylinder covers before the 7910's were released... [emoji6]

Intake snorkel, OEM round rear cover, k&n for the 7900. Problem solved.

7900 cylinder cover doesn't work on the 7910, with the decomp having been moved.

Use a 85cc bbk, or owners should quit whining and just use their saws as a tool like they were intended and not perfect shelf queens.

Then just leave the flat black cylinder cover on it.

Digging up an old thread but I have a Makita 6421 with an OEM 7900 P&C on it with left side decomp valve (same side as pull start). Saw is orange and top covers are matte black. Cover was modified for left side decomp (it has factory hole on right side). What HD air filter kit do I need. Would prefer matte black as long as it fits.
