    Dolmar

    its a good job there is an inboard clutch as it would run left hand side heavy but seeing the bar is on the outside all is good :thumbup: and its easier to change the sprocket rims when these power houses rip the rims to shreds:lol::lol:

    Dolmar

    with the easy start recoil the ps-350sc ps-420sc ps-4605 and ps-5105 is defiantely wider than the older models but the slimmer recoil can be purchased for the 5105 i will research and see if the others can be purchased
  3. had a squire strat candy apple red and a fender mustang v112 amp sold the squire in the hope of buying a fender mustang guitar in dakota red never got one but maybe next year :thumbup1:

    Dolmar

    i would say harvey that the EA7901 is the same as the PS-7910 so therefore it will be a touch heavier and on paper less power than the dcs7901 but i am maybe wrong :thumbup:
  7. ive got a huge beech i will take a picture but its way too far i think

    Dolmar

    user error can be a large picture if the saw is clean and does'nt have big dents and scratches then its been looked after its a head scratcher if its a chuck and run user, then an immediate decision can be drafted but the fuel mixes, leaks or air leaks loose components malfunctions take some investigating this saw has been looked after and used properly so it must be a malfunction it has lost its compression so something has come loose and done some damage maybe in the EU manual it says 2- stroke oil must be JASO FC o ISO EGD they recomend the dolmar red 50-1 and the dolmar green 50-1 and the super 100-1 oil it does'nt state no other brands IE stihl husky oil the octane level must be 91 or more in the USA manual it recomends the above oils , except the super 100-1 it also requires a minimum of 87 octane rating and a MAXIMUM ETHANOL LEVEL OF E10 so we will wait and see

    Dolmar

    i will do everything possible to sort this out but it will be a Dolmar dealer that i have spent thousands with over the last two years and have asked many questions about warranty and service work and i was satisfied with his replies so we will see how quickly things get sorted

    Dolmar

    hello its a PS-7910 there are few differences from the PS-7900 yes its a little heavier and a fraction less power but not that you can notice with a 24'' bar its feels well balanced and powerful , this model defiantely is a step forward others may disagree :thumbup:

    dcs 5000

    it looks like the best option depends if you can wait for a while for one to come along

    dcs 5000

    thats a good price there are coils on ebay that are double and triple that price just put dolmar part number 181 143 204 in google search this coil was used in lots of makitas and some dolmars around 46cc to 50cc its a red coil around mar 2010 some models where upgraded to a black coil part number 181 143 205 from an orignal makita parts lists :thumbup:
  14. as wyk says good metal chassis alot of saw for the money ideal for the home owner and the profi silver tops are fantastic but was quite expensive solo has just merged with alko and there are alot of discounted saws for sale cant complain about solo :thumbup:
  15. THATS OK FOR BIGGER STUFF but 1st & 2nd thinnings it would be a madness to accept that price you would have to cut and sned 130 -160 tree's a day to warrant a decent wage
  16. yes i signed the petition last month must be done is there any garagea left with ethenol free petrol maybe murco or total
  17. the artic cat diesel quad is strong and economical weve had ours for two years and with the low range and winch as standard very good machine

    Dolmar

    there are three saws in that professional range the 115 the PS-5105 the PS-6100 the PS-6410 has been discontinued now as the 6100 seems to be taking its place and doing well in the states and mainland europe the PS-4605 is another model that i havent tried yet but its in the proffesional range and similar specs to the husqvarna 346xp :thumbup:

    Eddy which model would you condider trying if you had a choice
  21. shavey

    Dolmar

    very good classic saw runs nice one of the easiest starting saws you will get in that size but parts are getting scarce now they do suffer with the age old sachs dolmar problems weak or broken chain brake and ignition coil failure it uses a ducati coil and when they start going wrong the spark seems to weaken when hot it shares every part with the 116SI only difference is cylinder and piston :thumbup:

    thats true paper is only a guide very often machines dont live up to these expectations specs for most saws are'nt excactly 100%
  23. the pheasent inn near keilder water was always a good meal hope its still going used to go there 20yrs ago

    Dolmar

    No sorry i wont be doing echo at the moment ive invested heavily into the dolmar brand when that is producing a good enough turnover i can look elsewhere and i think the next brand would be SOLO as there pro saws are well made again i would'nt be selling anything i would'nt be happy using myself but lot's of members on here are more than happy about there echo's
