So what did you buy today

[mrxlh]

Bought 2 weekends ago, just got it last Friday. First tree cut with the Makmar 7900, not overly impressed. Might need to send it to someone….

This was sitting at my door step when I got home from work today. 24" Cannon Duralite bar. I've had four Cannon Superbars and finally pulled the trigger on a Duralite.

I believe I read on here that those HD filters on those choke them up a bit. Maybe the muffler needs modded too. Don't they come with cats in them maybe?

EA stands for Extra Assless, that 268xp shamed it. I’m not mad, the govt fuct up a gas can, did anyone expect less from a saw???

I ordered in another grinder. Wanted one that wasn't hydraulic. Sometimes the Super Jolly doesn't hold my cutters right unless I put a finger on them. Interesting, this one came with white wheels. My last one came with green ones.

Lmao! Who can argue with that kind of logic.

We need a report after use. Nice

So a 68 shames a 78cc saw , maybe something is wrong with it. I was a bit surprised to see what looks to be a 32 on it being brand new(compared to a 268 with a 24?). While I will run a stock 7900/10 with a 32 once broke in, you need to have a well tuned chain in hardwood.
Ported is a different story, they have no problem with a 32, and will pull a 36 with a well tuned chain.

While they may have a little restriction, they never slowed my ported 7910, it was tuned at 14.4. The mufflers on the 7900 were open, but there was a bunch of junk in the 7910 can. Not sure how much power was gained removing it all, but it was a few ounces lighter without it.

Maybe he should buy this one and let his new one go at a slight loss. Carl builds a great running 7900/10.

You could have used a 12” bar to drop that tree.

So, the new 7900's mufflers don't have cats in them? I have only recently started reading on them.

Looks like I should've waited and bought the one you listed. I have 2 of the 7900's coming in a couple days.

That's why I asked about the cats in the mufflers.

So…what’s the best filter to keep fines out of a ported 7900…?

Your lucky a worker didnt steal it because it said EGGS on it!

I FINALLY bought some Fiebing's dark brown leather dye today!
Both for leather masks & axe handles.
Extra swabs & brass Chicago screws.
Also picked up a decent TT Kelly Woodslasher 3.5# head (4 eye ridges) for $10.

I wonder if eggs would be worth more than the saw?

These work well , if you can get a V-stack adapter.

Put one on my 288 , works great and better performance.

Larry's (Lnk) Shinny 695 has one on it.
It was a factory option (listed in IPL).

My flocked 2159 seems to keep fines out but everything else lets some or a lot in. 2 series the worst.
