The red coil still exists? Nearing time to place another spares order. Got a pump drive and clutch on there wanted a coil. March parts price list still shows coil for 6401 as available? Should I get it instead of the one listed for 7900? Any benefit for a non-ported unit?

This thread needs a bump. Been almost a month since the last post.
Here’s a 6400 with a closed port Solo 665 top end, so it’s now a 64cc closed port.
The 6400 piston is still used, as the height from pin to top of piston is slightly taller than on the Solo piston, so less had to be taken off the base to get squish around .020”.
I feel like this is how these saws should have been to start with, but this will be a fun one.
As you can see I’ve left everything alone, and just plugged the decomp. The top cover is untouched.
I still have to gut the muffler, and slot the upper mount holes.

Props to @huskihl for doing the machine work on the base for me.
This saw has been together for a couple of years now, but I haven’t gotten around to doing the last touches to get it ready.

Edit: I had the pistons mistaken. The Dolmar piston is taller than the Solo piston. @David Young Thanks for catching my mistake.

I've seen a few nices Dolmars/Makitas come up for sale near me, none that I have on my radar though, DCS460, DCS500, 115H, 133, PS9000, 120si (was very cheap, spewing I missed it).

The same situation here, if they’re priced right, they’re gone in a matter of hours it seems. Some are simply overpriced for the condition they are in.

I brought a 133 back from Oregon with me to keep the SP85 company.

That yellow one looks like a Super Pro 85, one of the Magnificent 7 made for McCulloch, but even if not, it's a very interesting catch!
Do you know anything about her history?
