I dislike the "feel" of the easy-start system, it annoys the heck out of me, so unnatural.

Exactly!

The easy start on my 5105 does work but I dont really like it and hardly see the need on a 50cc engine. I would like the slimmer width of the non easy....

Cleaning some blown down willow. Nice weather after the storm. Great job for the 115i.
Talking about easy start, the injection carburators like on the 115i and 120si/6800i are the easiest starting saws around. 1 pull every time, no fast idle or anything.

My Hamburg task force today dealing with wind fallen American Beech that unfortunately pushed a sugar maple with it. The 5105 was trying a new loop of Stihl 23RS .325 narrow kerf. Impresssed!

Killing spree, mostly plum, Dolmar PS-460 did the deed.

Hi,

Let me ask You something! I hope my English will strong enough to explain,what I would like to ask.
I have a Makita EA7900 . We all know about the SLR muffler. I want to remove it. I watch videos,forum pictures...
But one thing I am afraid of.. If I split the muffler,remove the SLR unit, the exhaust fumet (the heat) will go straight to the front plate without any obstruction and I am afraid it sooner or later the result will be,that the front plate of the muffler will burn out.
In the regular muffler has at least a pice of metal to block the direct heat , protect the front plate....

I gutted the SLR muffler on my Dolmar PS-7310, it is now an empty can - the front muffler half is not even discoloring from heat.
As such there will not be sufficient heat to burn out the muffler.

Just gut the muffler, best thing that ever happened to my PS-7310 is me ripping that SLR out!

Cheers

P.S.:
My PS-7310, recent picture, no SLR for years now - muffler shows no discoloration.
She is my long bar saw, therefore she does long bucking and noodling cuts.

Thank You! Great!

One more, if I may....
Did you throw out every piece of the SLR?
The inner frame of the unit (with holes) is not necessary to replace ?

I would have to look up old saved pictures of my mod, but if I remember correctly I kept the base of the SLR pipe as it serves as a spacer.

I am certain someone who gutted a SLR muffler more recently than me can chime in.

Excellent! Thank You!

The "base" (with 2 holes) not need to weld to the back half of the muffler, am I right?

If You have the means You can weld the base on, but technically it is held in place by the two bolt supports.
I had no issues reasembling the muffler halves without welding the SLR base on.

Give it a try without welding, if it won't stay in place give it a weld bead.

I mean, logically I do not thing the needs to be weld the cutted slr base to the back wall, because the 2 bolt will keep it tight.
(sorry,if Iam not understandable)

The SLR base (red) will actually seat into the bolt supports (blue) and upon assembly of the two muffler halves be pushed and secured against the mufflers back half (green).
Once the muffler is reassembled that SLR base can't go nowhere.
