I personally like working on 3-series huskies, 2-series huskies, Dolmar 6400-7900, and some of the pro model Stihls... 026, 036, 044/46, and 064/66. 5-series Huskies and some of the newer Stihls, I typically pass on to other people, along with clamshells of pretty much any brand. If I walked...

Not exactly true... Stihl makes homeowner saws and pro saws, just like Husky. If the crankcase is plastic, that's a sure sign that it's not a pro saw. A pro saw typically has better port work from the factory and they tend to be more powerful and weigh less than a similar sized homeowner saw...

Dolmar 7900. An 066 top end is an easy swap. I modified my handle and made it into a 3/4 wrap that will clear the brake handle, but I believe the 660 3/4 wrap is the right angle to clear, as well. Here's a pic showing mine on the left and the stock 3/4 wrap on the right. Pretty easy to see why...

You guys forgot the coolest Poulan of all... The 655 boost port!

The Dolmars are strong runners in stock form, and just plain badass once ported. A muffler mod on a stock saw doesn't really do much for a 7900, though. The only difference between the 7900 and 7910 is the muffler, and the coil is limited to a bit lower RPM... 12,900 vs. 13,500 for the 7900...

Please explain how a Dolmar 7910 will fall apart. I'd like to see some actual evidence of that.

Did anyone mention the Dolmar 7910? You can get a brand new one, ported, for less than $1000...

Dolmar 7910 would definitely be my choice, if I were buying a new saw. Great power and AV, easy to work on, reliable, and less expensive than Stihl or Husky.

I just keep adding more shelves...

My vote for a 70cc saw is the Dolmar 7910. I have a 7900, and I prefer it over a 372 or MS440. Smoother and more powerful, with better handling. I've never ran a 441, 461, or 576, so I can't help with the comparisons to those models.

This is true for certain saws, the 359 Husqvarna being a good example. Removing the base gasket and opening up the muffler really wakes up a 359, but some saws it doesn't make much difference at all.

I believe that Mastermind will help you out with port timing numbers, if you ask him nicely... Just send him a PM. He's always been willing to help me out, and even sent me a ported cylinder to replace one that someone else ported and turned out to be junk, and didn't charge me a dime for it.
