In my opinion... You have the best 50cc saw available... And an inboard clutch...
WINNING!!!
There's nothing wrong with the carbs on the 7900. These saws have been ported buy a number of people, KD, DD, EHP, BLSNELLING and others, without any talk of bad carbs. The problem isn't with the carbs. I've owned four 7900's and the only carb issue I had, was a bad welch plug on an 8 year old saw. Big deal. I find this downright stupid honestly, these saws have been around a long time and there has been little to no issues until recently, with one guy.

Maybe nothing wrong, but the carb likely is too small for the capasity of the transfers - really......

I just don't need the headaches........I've got a back log of over a month on saws to port right now. Terry or Mitch either one will gladly port the 562.....I just don't want to fiddle with the hesitation issues. I did about 30 of them with no issues at all......then 3 out of 6 had carb trouble. It's not easy to fix a saw that 500 miles away....so, I have to either buy a carb, pay to have the saw sent back, etc. It is a pain in my ass. Does the 562 run well? It's probably the strongest 60cc saw there is......when it's running right.
On the 7900, I've done a bunch of those, and the 7910 as well, I plan to do a bunch more. They are great saws. Never had any carb trouble till I tried out a 85cc top end on my own saw. That doesn't make the 7900 a bad saw......it means the carb was at it's limit, or I need to learn more about them. I've built 7900s that would out cut every damn saw in sight. They can be some bad mfers.
The 5100......they have a issue with the intake and the carbs both from what I've heard and seen. Some seem fine, run like a little beast, others have caused me to want to throw em in the creek. Again, I just don't have that kind of time to spend on any one saw. I'd love to know how to make this one I have sitting here idle......it's really made a fool of Jon and I both. Three carbs, three coils, two flywheels, three intakes, down to the crank and back, no air leaks......passes every test I've thrown at it.
Sometimes a guy has to know when to say "enough".

Never liked a 7900. Took a $450 loss on my 7901 just to get rid of it.

It has the same carb but low profile air filter.
The ported 2260 I got from tlandrum at the WK gtg is very impressive.

Got another you wanna take a hit on??
don't give up on it yet,youll get it figured out. I haven't ever known you to let a saw get the better of you yet and I don't think this will win either.

"I tried out a 85cc top end on my own saw."
And???
Did you use a 54 mm quad or dual port?
What mm carb were you running?
"Three carbs, three coils, two flywheels, three intakes, down to the crank and back, no air leaks......passes every test I've thrown at it."
That's the most interesting thing I heard in a month. Now you've got my attention. Subscribedopcorn:

True I've never been much of a 5100 fan, the one I have now runs pretty good, even though it doesn't look like much.

Some of the early 7900's had some soft metal on the carb housings. I had a few that the throttle shaft was super sloppy in the housing with low hours on the saw. If I get in a 7900 with poor idle, that's the first thing that I check. I have never seen the soft carbs on the newer black top cover saws, just the early ones with the orange covers.

I had one 5100 that was like that. I actually bought another 5100 that ran fine and I changed every part around that I could think of. It turned out to be the crankshaft twisted on the flywheel side. You may want to check that.

I'm thinking about just shooting it with buckshot till there's nothing left to shoot at.
