What should the next Build Off Saw be???

[grandpatractor]

OK I'll vote for the 7900

Dude can run a saw can't he??? I took a few notes...

It didn't matter what saw was handed to him. He could cut significant time off it's owner's time. Amazing! Not only were his transfers perfect (every time!), but he instantly had the saw in it's sweet spot, and it never changed all the way through both cuts. That takes talent and LOTS of practice.

Interesting. Never seen that person post but he sounds like a fine operator.

I think I could talk my wife into getting me a 7900 with the help of some of you fine folk here. She doesnt think I "need" one. Now how am I supposed to go cut wood with just my old 064,440,460,020,290,041,075,346,272,2101 and others. I DO "need" a fully ported/modiffied 7900 if I am expected to get the wood to heat the house and keep her all warm and snuggly.

You don't need one.........SHE does. Now that she is on the board make that saw her welcoming gift.

I vote 7900 purely for selfish reasons.....it gives me an excuse to have mine modded:msp_thumbsup:

They don't last very long as a hopped up saw due to the tiny big end rod bearing. That's why Stihl completely
redesigned them and converted to the 12mm wrist pin saw. The 10mm wrist pin saws actually run pretty good
stock. About the only thing that really benefits the 10mm wrist pin saws is to lighten the piston some.

I don't see how it would be worth it. Ring locating pins and skirts on the 10mm wrist pin piston keeps intake and exhaust port widths narrow.
The saws have a relatively large mixing area to begin with and pretty much ideal blow-down time from the factory.

After being modded, the saws wouldn't offer their owners much service life.
