I finally ran my new Makita 7900 this last weekend...found my tri-mix gas for the MIG welder to get my muffler back together. Think it was 0.023" stainless wire. Ground off perhaps 1.5 sides of the muffler then knocked it apart. Just a few minutes to get apart then the seam welded together easily with the MIG welding. Used a 1/8" carbide bur to at least double the outlet area under the deflector. Saw sounds pretty good but still a bit rich. I'll order a new Zama carb to play with and some micro drills. Sounds like carb mods are a good way to boost torque on these saws.
Great video! The most detailed video on Makita chainsaw muffler mod on YT. I recently bought and own 7300 and 7900. Both are of that same design. Most videos are short and brief not detailed.
I need to start making some diff pipes , there’s deff no one out there really making pipes for saws , unless u buy off eBay or something , crazy what just a pipe will do for a saw #79🤘🤘🤘🤘
Build a pipe muffler for my 372 Wes and I'll come buy it off of ya. Idk if you have time or want too but can you recommend someone that can. I'd love to have the kind of muffler on my 372xp that was on that Timberwolf.
@@MitchellsBackyardLogging he told me he wasn't building them right now and I didn't know if those eBay pipes were any good or not. Wondering if they helped with the performance or just made noise. Know anybody that has tried one
@@dentondunn4346 the ebay pipe im talking about is just like the on the timber wolf and that style of pipe shows an increase in power dyno joe has a couple vids on different pipes and he has a dyno for saws and he shows numbers the ones on ebay are like 89 buck i think its pretty reasonable
@@MitchellsBackyardLogging definitely reasonable if they give power gains instead of noise. There's alot of science in those pipes. Some gain power at higher rpms and some more torque at lower rpms. I may find someone local to weld me one that's based on Ironhorses dementions. He has a video explaining in detail exactly how to make it down to the length and size of pipes that's gaurenteed to get the best performance out of the pipe muffler. Guy I'm messaging with just told me he'd make me one. I talked with him about it at work today so guess I'm going that route. As many people that's wanting those style pipes you'd think people would be making them and selling them cause there's a market for it out there
Tip: heat the flange up with a torch. This make taking those crack pipes out much easier.
79 thanks for the good videos

#79 Man that thing was a crazy looking designed muffler. Looks like that should help a bunch!

Muffler sounds good. I'm gonna try that paint. Thx for the tip. #243
Are those Thorogoods you're rocking? A man of taste, love it. My favorite boots
Yes they are my most favorite boots in the wedge sole any how
@@MitchellsBackyardLogging me too man, my work boots of choice. Keep up the work on the channel, love seeing it.
@@brettbrettson69 thank you and than you for being here
I like to lay my muffler on woodstove an spray it hot sounds silly but works
Me too now with that new paint its tons better than that other i did use
@@MitchellsBackyardLogging awesome good to know ill get some
#7900 that saw sounds awsome now
#79 The Makita 7900 should run a lot better for you now! I have also found that paint you used to be very good. I use it quit a bit.
If you get a wire welder it's worth it to get the gas setup...it makes a cleaner weld in my experience
Ive a got a lil wire welder but i dont weld that much
No number but I think that mod will help

Southern fire wood builds pipes or on ebay you can find them for husky just like that there about 80 bucks i dont know what southern fire wood charges
