Sold Makita 6401/7910

[dustinwilt68]

Saw has had a new OEM 7910 top end, bearings, seals, gaskets, HD air filter, top cover, and full wrap, Maroon colored coil ( the good one to have) limited to 13,500 I believe, Mini D handle and dyed black flippy caps. Saw has about a 1/2 tank thru it since rebuild, I built this saw for me but something has come up and I have to move quickly, it is all OEM except the caps are husky and the D handle is unknown brand. The saw currently has the matte finish filter cover on it, as in the first pic. I traded the gloss cover to another member so we could each have matching covers on our saws, saw is stock. $600 plus shipping

Man if I had the extra cash I would own this. What is the died floppy caps? Do they make flippy caps for these saws?

Also interested to hear more about the flippy caps. I have an older red Dolmar 6400 that I converted to a 7900. Will the Husqvarna flippy caps fit ALL Dolmar/Makitas of the 6400/7300/7900 variant?

I'm interested too hear about those flippy's from Dustin & also whether the 'mini D' is a factory part/where do you get them from. Really neat looking saw, it should be easy to sell.

If anyone is interested in the Husqvarna or Stens flippy caps that fit the Dolkitas here is the Husqvarna number and the Stens part number. Same cap for fuel and oil.

Husqvarna 522620003
Stens 610-180

Somebody school me on the Husqvarna flippies; are they similar to the stihl flippy caps? Or are they just a standard screw-in cap that has a flip up lever to assist in turning the cap? I've never seen the Husqvarna caps in person....

 

[LogSawyer74]

And how did you dye the flippy caps black? thanks Thinking my saw is about to get new caps!! I'm a big fan of the stihl flippy caps.

I think stihl flippy caps suck.

The Husqvarna caps are a typical screw in cap with a flip up part.

To dye them black you will use RIT clothes dye found at WalMart and many other stores. I used a small sauce pan to dye the caps on my kitchen stove. Wife was asleep of course!

If you want completly black caps order the Stens brand. For some reason on the Husqvarna caps the flippy part takes the dye but the main body does not. I'll post pics when I get home.

The price is killing me. Ive got a saw just like this I'm going to sell eventually and was hoping for more.

I had the stens flippy caps on my 7900 and they always weeped. Not really a leak but if I wiped that area around them clean, the next day there would be residue around both the oil and fuel caps. The way the caps seal doesn't really match up with the mating surface on the saw. Maybe it was just those caps I dont know, but it wasn't a perfect fit so I went back to the stock caps.

Flippys are standard husky from 562 I dye them black, standard thread same as a husky, handle I bought a bunch like it this summer locally, I really like them

 

[LogSawyer74]

Ran to Tractor Supply at lunch and found these. Doesn't have a husqvarna part # on them that I could tell. Guess I'll see if they fit when I get home! The saw for sale in this thread is a fantastic deal! Sorry for the small derail with the flip cap stuff...

 

[dustinwilt68]

Derail is no prob, happy to see others helping others

 

[mettee]

This is a great deal, I'm tempted.

 

[dustinwilt68]
