Dolmar PS 5105 - Fed up waiting for them so importing them myself

[TerryTibbs]

No worries, can't be helped with the .325, optimistic to be 3/8 on a 50cc saw!

 

Interested in hearing more on this!

How does the older DCS saw versions compare with the newer EA saws.

 

Just interested as i use a EA4300 saw.

 

Thanks.

I had a Makita 460 a few years ago with a 3/8 chain it was great. Big regret was selling that saw. I ve got a 346xp it's not the same.

You mentioned removing the spark arrestor made a big difference. In another forum in The States, a man finished building a dyno specifically for chainsaws recently. He made it more to see what difference mods made than to compare saws, really. He found that on an MS460, simply adding the dual port muffler and retuning the carb gave a 20% improvement in HP with a much broader power curve.

Probably showing appalling ignorance but?

Why the disappointment at the .325 chain quoted against a stated preference for 3/8 chain.

I would have imagined the narrower kerf would have required less HP to pull the same cut.

Or cut faster with the same HP.

Assuming the finer chain is mechanically strong enough.

Which on a factory spec saw it must be?

325 dulls faster and takes longer to sharpen for the same bar length are my only complaints.
