Nothing wrong with that picture!

The solo hybrid I purchased from Randy is just an absolute peach. Starts nicely, runs beyond expectations, for a "used" saw it is absolutely flawless. The AV is a touch tender but I honestly prefer it that way myself. I hope to have some video soon

Is it normal when doing 272 coil on 7900 to have hot restart need to use high idle? Is the timing too far advanced? Runs great cuts great and idles great just have to pull a couple times or use high idle and starts right up. Also has other aftermarket parts so might not be coil related just wanted to see if anyone else has ran into this.

It’s more likely the metering needle is letting fuel through. They need a stiffer spring

It has a husky 365 carb. And it is immediately after you shut it off not after it sits. Also not sure if it did it with the stock coil

Awesome thread lads!

Time to come clean. When I made the above post this saw was already under way.
An @tree monkey 7900 that had been in @huskihl s possession.

You have my word on it.

A ported 7900/7910 is a weapon. Nice acquisition!

Honestly, my personal opinion, one of the best saws ever produced. The whole line up honestly, being they're the same saw with different top ends. Great chassis..,and every motor has its qualities. But ported 64/7910 is top dawg

Best saws ever, 6400 through 7900/7910!

I brought this one home yesterday, now I have two.

Love my 6421/7910 and the 5100s and 5001 ain't too bad either!

Showing off my XS5000 yesterday I flooded her miserably, she still came to life though spitting fuel out of the muffler - tough saw!

I missed the "pop" and pulled the cord under choke one too many times, the moment I smelled gas I knew I F-ed up.

 

[Stefaan]

What a better way to test some chain.

 

[RI Chevy]

Cuts Well! Nice job.

I'm gonna say, I don't think any other saw sounds as good as a Dolmar.

Well said

 

[TreeLife]

Nothing sounds as good or runs as good as a Dolmar in my opinion
