Rebuilt my first saw a ms362!!!!

Clem is right similar in size to a 461 but with more power. Their close but the Dolmar gets the nod in the power department. I know the 7910 is rated on paper as less power. However, a muffler mod gives it back the same power as the 7900 had befor it. Around 6.5 hp.

 

Also, the anti vibe on the dolmar is superior to the 460. It's hard to explain why but it feels lighter and more nimble than the 460 too. In wood over about 28" I'd go with a 066/660. Anything less than that and the Dolmar is pretty similar for cutting speed. The oiler oils the b&c very well too. Itll oil 32" very well. All this of course is just my humble opinion.

 

Well hopefully I will get to run one and a husky sometime....

 

That's really the best advice I could give you. Try and run the saws your interested in. Don't just take my word for it. What works for me might be completely wrong for you.

 

Brian good call. Khntr85 I will be at this G2G with my 7910. If you can make it, your welcome to giver a rip. Should be a good time and a nice chance to help out some good people.

 

Oh hell that would be awesome....I am around Muncie in.... What part of Michigan... Do they have any in Indiana ever???

 

I wish I could make it up to MI but it's just too far.

Maybe in a few years I will make it to one of the southern ones or one in TN or Kentucky?

 

Darn I just looked it up and it's 4 hours away.... I could swing an hour or so, but that's to far... Maybe one day we will have one in Indiana.... I trying to get a local tree to drop off logs that he doesn't want from his tree business, and if that ever happens, I may see if any Indiana guys on here want to come bring out there saws!!!!!

 

Hey if you can make it to lansing mi your welcome to ride the rest of the way with me. It's looking like I'm going up Friday night and planning on spending the night Saturday night as well.

 

How far are you from Eric VW ? He's going to make the trip. Maybe you could sweet talk him into letting you ride on the roof of his car

 

Oh and about the ol wood truck guys, I did take off the distributor cap and it is spinning all the way around.... I can jump the truck with the cylinoid and it turns over so I do t know if it can still be bad or not???.... I think that rules out a broke timing chain but I don't know for sure.... This truck can be a pain!!!

 

Man 4 hours! That's close!! To be at that GTG I'd be all over that one!

 

So are you saying with the key nothing happens? But if you jump directly with power to solonoid it cranks it? That's random...but it almost sounds like the bendix is not jumping out everytime?

Can you always replicate your results? Like everytime you jump the solonoid it cranks and rarely or never cranks with key?

I'd check your conections, mainly the power wire from battery to solonoid. Could be a bad solonoid??

 

Well I tried replacing solonoid and same thing... It does the same thing wether you use the key or jump the sonoid.... I had my ol mechanic come by and he said possibly timing chain, but was raining and gettin dark so we may look more later today.... I did take distributor cap off and it spins, but I guess that doesn't completely rule out a bad timing chain!?!??

 

Barcroft, that sure is mighty nice of you. I really appreciate the offer... I work at a university and my days off right now are Monday and Tuesday, until like the first week of May, then we get sun, mom, and tues, off for our summer hours..... I will check my work schedule and see if it's even a possibility... We also have our first child a 10 month old beautiful little girl, so makes thing harder now too....

I tell ya there are so many guys on here willing to help out in many different ways... This site is awesome to say the least!!!

 

Hey mastermech, man I sure do really appreciate your help man.... I am on daddy duty right now and rainin like hell here, but when me lady gets off in few hours I will be checking this....damm I sure am glad that the chain is possibly not broke.... Let me ask you this, if the truck is out of time is that something that would happen with these 78 351m's, or is it really rare....
Once agian thanks for your help, got to get this damm truck goin agian, I am covered up in wood jobs right now!!!!!
