sachs dolmar 120si worth saving??

[markieg31]

hi all. a friend has the above saw but needs a new pot and piston.

Worth fixing or should we toss it on the scrap pile?

Pots for those are rare as hen's dentists.

 

Same pot (I'm pretty sure) as Dolmar PS6800i and Makita DCS6800i.

 

Downgradable (is that a word?) to 60cc with a 116i pot/piston (same I think as PS6000i or Makita DCS600i) which is slightly easier to find, but still almost impossible.

 

I just sold a PS6000i in amazing condition which I had hoped to upgrade to 68cc, but as I say, you just can't find the parts.

 

That US saw site (chainsawr.com) has a pot (unlisted, email them) that has been ground down and would need faffing about with using gaskets/spacers or whatever, but who can be arsed?

 

Hope that helps!

I think the pistons and pots are same as 6800i too. They are great saws be a shame to bin it. How badly damaged is the cylinder? Could it be honed and brought back to life, and stick a new piston in?

 

Used these guys for a 520 piston - i was SURE i saw 6800i cylinders too for around £50, but cant find them now - just the piston DLA Engine Parts - Piston Kit fit MAKITA DCS 6800, DCS6800i (49mm)

I have 2 of these saws,one is non-runner and the other I almost certain the crank seals have gone.

If all fails sourcing a part I will strip them for parts.
