I'm looking at light alternatives to a 372. I can get a 2083 or 7900?

So, My Makita dcs520 has been a great saw up until the last few uses where i noticed it started smoking quite a bit on startup, it's been down on power and I've found it to be bogging down a lot when getting on the dogs. a cold compression test returned 70-80PSI which was much lower than what...

This is my first proper build, I've done a couple of drill through the muffler type muff mods and a fair bit of saw tuning and repair. Bought this 341 for £20, wouldn't run. Bad fuel line. Snipped the bad bit out and bodged it back together. It ran well then. Next, muff mod. I'll let the pics...

Hi folks, I found a stash of new and unused metal fuel tanks bearing part number 123114011. It is in blue Makita colour but I think it should fit on Dolmar Power Cut 309 / 343. Somewhere in this forum, I found crucial information that the cross reference between Dolmar and Makita is: Dpc7000 =...

I’m after an air kit for my Dolmar. I’m installing a 7900 piston and cylinder and want to put a filter kit on it as well. I know about the HD filter kit from Sawagain.com but want to know if there are any other alternatives. Possibly if I can buy just the intake elbow and clamp on a different...

I need help with a Makita that’s not lubricating the chain. Can someone point me to where I can find a service manual fir this unit or better yet has encountered and solved this problem before

I picked up a mint Dolmar 5100 yesterday that does not have the metal ring insert for the carb intake boot. I've searched everywhere on the internet and I cannot for the life of me find one available. Does anybody have a contact or source where I can pick one of these up? If there are truly...

Kinda hate to sell it but it’s time to put some cash away. Price is $650.00 Very very nice saw with brand new big bore kit done nicely. Saw runs very well and extremely strong. Only a few tanks on this since rebuild. 54mm @ 85cc. Saw has brand new oem clutch cover, brand new oem fuel tank and...

I see there are several superceded part numbers for the Dolmar/makita carburetor for 6400/6401/7900/7901 ext series of saws, the newest one is some Zama that places want like $130+ for....yikes...I can't seem to find cheap aftermarket replacement carbs for this saw after searching for a bit, its...

Any tips or tricks to getting the clutch side chain brake back on? Beat up the internet to no avail.

while taking apart my Makita 6421 yesterday and and removing the cylinder and piston I noticed this sitting in front of carb near the intake boot. I don’t remember seeing it when removing the other parts. It’s the little black bushing in the pic with the decomp. I included the decomp to give you...

Looking to buy a 7900 or 7901, but will look at anything from this family of saws 64cc and larger. Shipping to 48642. Prefer PHO. Venmo or PayPal. Thanks.

I recently got a deal on a bare tool version of the makita xc06z, and am definitely not sad about it so far. It’s the 18V single battery 10” top handle saw. I purchased for about $130 delivered from an auction site with a best offer, new in open box. I figured at that price it was worth the...

Hey friends, couple questions regarding the mentioned saw. Can i upgrade it to .325 ? How well does this saw respond to a muffler mod? I would most likely enlarge the existing outlet but not quite sure how much. What would be the meanest chain for that saw in 3/8 lp pitch? At some point this...

Just had to have these spikes for my 7901 but they are huge!! Do they make bucking harder or is it something a guy will get used to?

This is my brother in law's saw. It is a Dynamark 39CC saw. Not a whole lot of information on similar saws anywhere. I've seen in other threads that this saw is basically a rebadged Lombard saw. Anyone have any info on approximate year or bar mount? I thought I seen somewhere that it was A061...

As the title says, I'm looking for an "unusable" dolmar 7900 cylinder and piston. Seized, scored, circlip gouges, broken fins.... doesn't matter to me. I'd actually prefer it to be junk as I wont be running it and don't want to waste good parts just to satisfy my curiosity. My only requirements...

I have been offered 3 saws for £160. Husky 235 Sachs Dolmar 115 Makita DCS9000 I can turn over the husky fairly quickly but I have no knowledge of the other 2. Is there a market for the 115 and DCS9000 if I get them singing? What’s do you reckon their value is and also what are they like...

Since upgrading my 6401 to 7901 I wanted to try out an 8-pin sprocket to take advantage of some of that extra power. I bought the appropriate Oregon 22273 rim sprocket to give it a try. Everything fits just fine except that the chain now hits the rubber chip guide/deflector. Looking at the...

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my ex-Home Depot DCS-6401 with a genuine OEM 7901 piston and cylinder courtesy of Chainsawr; installed a new metal base gasket, didn't bother measuring squish, didn't touch ports/timing/etc. Assembled just the way a 7901 would come from the factory. At the same...
