I finally got my ebay 7900 basket case. This is my first modern Dolmar. To me, It reminds me of a husky 372 series. Quad transfers, carb. The first thing i'm working on is the coil wire needs replaced. Apparently i have to pull the flywheel.

The wire is channeled behind the flywheel and seems to be attached somewhere. Does this sound right?

yes the wire runs under the flywheel and it sits in the crankcase on its way to the sparkplug

None of those IPL's are the latest one

Here is the 2009-10 one with the HD filter and the AV limiter from the Dolmar site

Thanks guys. Im sure i'll have more questions as i go.

I'm going to need a cylinder cover for this saw. who had it before poked a hole in the muffler and it melted a hole in the cover.

I need a filter also so i think i'll buy the HD kit.

Mike next time we are at a gtg etc. Can you have your 6400 with you and maybe a closed port 365. I'm all out of 365 stuff right now with all these people doing 4 cube racesaw builds.

I would be interested in the feel of a 6400 too. I had one but converted it to a 7900 before ever running it.

rms61moparman · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:16:49 pm »

My 6400 is a regular attendee at every GTG I attend, so yes it will be there.
I won't have a 365 of any kind unless it comes to me so cheap that I would be stupid not to buy it.
