Clint's Hybrid

It must be the tune. I run Saber at 40:1 and my plug in 044#1 was just fine, and the inside of the muff cover was so clean I could drag my finger across it and almost not get dirty.

Don't understand why you guys are getting different results.

I did a lot of limbing before i took the imageslike 8 tall trees worth,i bucked 3 trees into firewood tonight and the plug is real clean now maybe i was not loading the saber enough to burn completely will post new plug image in the am ,but it looks as clean or cleaner than the dumonde plug i posted.

plug images ,outer edge still sooty though ,muffler has some soot also ,kind of odd the plug turned so black when using under light load though limbing

My saws ran well on Sabre but I got that same sooty soft deposit that u r

I'm wondering if you guys let them idle a lot. I try not to.

Amazing how dirty the airfilter gets on these saws.

That outerwear skin helps keep the big stuff out ,the fines still get by the edges though .

I let them idle a minute at least after a 6 minute cut.

Stihl is air injected from the clutch cover. Lol

You should see the softwood chips that stick to that thing ,i have to wipe it off often ,is like a vacuum cleaner

oops i was thinking recoil cover ,not clutch ,that thing just fills my pockets lol

Yes, but you are milling, big difference, that is hard on a saw.

I just heard from Randy that this saw is headed back to Ca.

Whatta you think @MustangMike ... 7900 or hybrid? Pulling a 28" bar...

Pfft

Pfft

I know what I think... but I'm keeping an open mind.

 

[MustangMike]

I'm sure they will both be nice, but the 7900 had a size advantage, so I would not bet against it. That said, the hybrid should weight less.

Keep us posted about what you think of it. Too bad you are so far away, I'd love to have my 460/046-D in the mix, that saw is strong!

I agree. Depends on how radical of a build each has had done. If one is better, it won't be by much,

 

[cgraham1]

You ever run a 7900, Mike? They are so smooth, and balance well. It doesn't feel like an 80cc saw to me when I'm running it.

I don't know. Randy ported them both...

Yes, a few times, but they were stock. Nice saws for stock, but they were stock. The 576 & 661 also feel very nice stock, all are smooth & strong. IMO, the 661 is very impressive, but that is a larger saw.
