Dolkita make a "MAGNUM" Sticker? Gotta be good for a tenth or 2 in the cut, No?

Makita DCS7901 starter assembly decal can still be had from Germany, part number 980 115 331
They can be seen in Nathan's picture to the left of the red covers.



@166 can You confirm the validity of the following part numbers, or supply an Makita DCS6800i IPL:
- Makita DCS6800i starter assembly sticker/decal part # 980 114 094
- Makita DCS6800i clutch cover sticker/decal part # 980 114 260

Finding a downloadable DCS6800i IPL is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.

This is my last resort https://www.ptctools.co.uk/spares3.php/store//c1/313/c2/7166/sn/SPARE_DCS6800I

Why did You get rid of Your 6100, any particular reason?

It was full of too much awesomeness. Smooth, lots of nut, and a big fuel tank for buckin rounds to fill up the dump trailer on one tank.

Here are some Makita DCS6800i (Dolmar PS-6800i) Illustrated Parts Lists

 

[Wilhelm]

Confirmed, its a non model-specific sticker for both 6000 and 6800

Confirmed as well: 980 114 260 is for DCS6800i,
980 114 259 is for DCS6000i

OK, thank You.
That is what I came up with searching Google.

Only Stihl need those, Dolmar/Makita are naturally Magnumized.

Part number 036 171 020 , available in Germany, description translates to something like carburetor clamp , about 4€.

I think any US Dolmar/Makita dealer should be able to get that part for You.

Happy Friday all! I have a few 50cc saws and I’m looking for something in the 70cc range to complement my current lineup. I’ve been doing a lot of research, but still have a few questions and want to see what your thoughts are.

Appears new saws today in the US are of strato design due to our friends at the EPA and many are going to electronically controlled carburetors.

How are the strato saws holding up, I’ve seen some complain they run to lean?

How are the electronic carburetors holding up?

I’ve found Dolmar now branded Makita EA7900 appears to still be a non-strato design with non-electronic carburetor, and fairly priced at Bailey’s. Looks like they did put a cat carb on it to comply with EPA. Only negatives I’ve seen is the chain break appears to be weak and can easily break, also they can run hot.

Any opinion on the chain break?

Is a different muffler available to remove the cat and restrictions? Assume this would significantly reduce heat and provide more power.

I’m fairly handy, but I don’t have any Makita dealers in the area, should that be a concern?

Any other saws I should consider?

Thank you all in advance for any feedback, greatly appreciated!

This.

Also:
- Yes the Makita EA7300 & EA7900 feature an SLR or CAT muffler, both restrictions can fairly easily be removed if You are handy tinkering on things. Also, the old style muffler containing just a bird cage can still be had and I believe it is a direct bolt on - though the mufflers flange area should be matched to the size of the exhaust port. Yes, gutt the SLR/CAT muffler and enlarge the muffler outlet, it really wakes these saws up!
- I have never broken a chain brake on any of mine, but I also only have four so I may not have a good measure. Who manages to break the chain brake flag or chain brake band on these must be quite ham fisted. Don't worry about the chain brake, it is sturdy just as the rest of the saw.
- Take a really good look at the Makita EA7300! She is unjustly overshadowed by her big sister the EA7900. I have two of the 73's, they will make chips pulling even a 36" B&C setup. You can choose the 73cc variety to save some cash, or invest the savings on a heated handle version.
- Lastly and most importantly, You do not need a local Dolmar/Makita dealer in order to purchase a Dolmar/Makita saw. First off, these saws a built very sturdy and if You know how to use a saw You will not encounter unexpected failures. Any wear and tear parts You can secure preemptively with a little attention and basic maintenance.

Most of the above is valid if:
- You know how to use a chain saw
- You know when a chain is dull and when it needs to be sharpened or replaced
- You don't brute force Your saws through the wood by over utilizing the saws bucking spikes

I have no Dolmar dealers in my town, I don't even utilize the Croatian main Makita distributor for Dolmar/Makita parts and items - I get my Dolmar stuff from Germany and it works perfectly fine for me.
