No kidding. I ordered a Maruyama MCV 51 from the US. Paid shipping and still got it $100+ cheaper than I can find one in Greece.

I may bring that big Makita home if it is still sitting there on April 1st. I really don't have a use for it, but you never know. I may hold it and resell it later, if someone is interested. Gotta watch my budget for now. I've bought three saws since New Years and I'm supposed to be saving cash for a replacement boat engine. I love having CAD, but it gets expensive!!!!

Either of you guys have a good website in the EU to order a 24" aftermarket bar for my 7910? I'm not having too much luck locally. I'm looking for a Sugi, Tsumura, or something at that level of quality.

Grube.at has a lot chainsaw bars. No experience with them but a lot happy customers on German sites.

I got my Iggesund Forest R2 bar from them!

If it doesn't have to be a high tech lightweight bar grant the R2 a look.
Solid steel, nicely priced for lengths over 20".

Summer last year, oak butt just over 40" long noodle action, Dolmar PS-7900 & 36" Iggesund Forest combo, bar fully buried:


The large US type 2 spikes give this combo a hairline balance act:


I have wished for a couple more Iggesund Forest R2 bar in different lengths many times, they look great and feel really good.
But I have not enough saw run time to wear out the bars that I already own making investments in more bars a futile exercise.

Does anyone have part numbers or know if a Makita 7901 starter decal and a Makita clutch cover decal are available anywhere having a tough time finding any.

 

[ajschainsaws]

i got the starter cover decal in stock

 

[ajschainsaws]

the chain cover side is NLA have you tried @166 or @fordf150 for a decal but if you can have the newer Makita that's no problem there is a small difference the red line isnt on the newer sticker

 

[Roost426]

Sweet I will be ordering both those for my new saw I just bought from thop.

 

[Roost426]

Let me know how I can order both those from you AJ, the 7901 starter decal and newer clutch cover decal!

 

[ajschainsaws]

Let me know how I can order both those from you AJ, the 7901 starter decal and newer clutch cover decal!

I will get the side sticker in and then let you know once its here

A family friend gave me a makita dcs520i awhile ago they didn't know much about it except it was their fathers at one time and had been sitting around for quite some time. Finally got around to messing with it today, put a spark plug in since it didn't have one and some fresh mix, after about 10 pulls it fired up and sounds pretty damn good actually. It is leaking fuel somewhere though and some bar oil was oozing out, but it seems worthy of putting a bit of effort into! Anyone know much about these guys? What is its red dolmar sibling?

The Makita 520 would be a Dolmar 111.
52cc open port of about 3.3hp and aprox 12500 rpm max. The Dolmar 115 is the same cc but closed port and aprox 3.75hp with 13000 rpm max.

And another thing the ps-7310 is actually more expensive than the ps-7910

 

[RI Chevy]

Why is that?

 

[166]

Why is that?

I'd bet the 73xx costs more than the 79xx at the manufacturing level.

To buy a new 73cc top end is $29 more than a 79cc.
