It likely would have been OK if you stated where the text originated from - but as you presented it, it could be mistaken asr factual information by some.

Well if I had had more time I probably would have, just never occurred to me that it would come across that way.

Where are they made nowadays?

I don't know, I bet its not Germany anymore.

Have you copied and pasted that from Dolmar's official marketing information, or do you work for them? Discussion about saws is encouraged here, but advertising is not.

Simply copied from a trade publication, I have no vested interest. Just thought Dolmar fans would be interested. Ok?

DOLMAR CHAINSAWS AVAILABLE

For the British market

Dolmar chainsaws built a fine reputation for rugged reliability and performance in the British market in the 70s and 80s.

Founded in Hamburg, Germany in 1927, Dolmar became part of Makita in 1991 and has received substantial investment to become the geographical hub of Makita's chainsaw development and production.

In certain countries, the Dolmar brand has continued to lead the market, whilst in the UK for instance, the blue Makita branding has been adopted to benefit from the Company's power tool market leadership. The technical specifications and performance are identical and now the orange Dolmar saws will be available through certain dedicated Makita garden machinery distributors.

Seven Dolmar saws are available including the 31cc top-handle PS310TH with 30cm bar; the PS32CTLC 35cm bar lightweight, entry level saw; the PS350SC and the 34.7cc and PS420SC, 42.4cc semi-professional specification saws with 35cm and 45cm bar lengths respectively. The 50cc PS500C model is known as the "farmers" saw, an economic model with full professional specification.

The Dolmar inventory for the UK market is completed with the PS6100 saw which does the job of a felling saw and debranching saw in just one machine. This rugged 61cc saw weighs just 6kg, delivers 4.5hp and runs up to 13,800rpm. The full specification includes a 45cm bar, the easy-change, long life air-filter system for extended working time between services with low fuel consumption and ultra-low emissions. The top of the Dolmar range is the 78.5cc PS7910 saw with 5.7hp, SLR exhaust system for fuel efficiency and low emissions.

All Dolmar chainsaws feature effortless starting either with spring assisted pull cord or decompression valve, vibration damping system of sprung fulcrums which effectively separate the machine motor and drive from the operator grip handles, catalytic or other exhaust systems for low emissions and fuel efficiency, simple lateral or tool-less chain tension adjustment, automatic oil pumps and quick acting inertia and manual chain brake for safe operation.

This all sounds like fighting talk, there is only one way to go.....handbags at dawn....No...No....wrong forum Timed cuts, same bit of wood, same saw, same bar different filters.

 

Lets quantify the improvement, better do three big cookies on each set up and see what is what.

 

My take on it is that if the filter allows more air through and if the engine can take more air, it will make an improvement.

 

The air is drawn by the vacuum in the crankcase formed by the piston rising. The limiting factors are the shape of the inlet port, the size of the port, the inlet duration, the choke of the carb, restrictions in manifold sizes and finally.....the air filter.

 

The engine can draw a FINITE amount of air due to the vacuum formed in the crankcase - I guess this is what Sawtroll was saying.

 

Removing an air filter does make a difference - I have never cut like this but it does raise the revs significantly so it should have some sort of effect but until it is tested, we don't know by how much!

 

This should be similar to fitting a larger carb to a machine.

Most open minded and rational comment i've heard on this thread! The saw must be standard though.

In our industry really I suppose. I've not been on arbtalk for a good while so I can't comment on that.

What you after ady:001_tongue:

Oh, you know just the usual, pens, keyrings, hats, teeshirts.................and so on.

Well I've worked out who 2 of them are today!

I should add both held in high regard:thumbup1:

They all look on here, oddly the UK branches have no media presence (officially). If they did, Stihl might have known about the 201t-c before the APF

Unofficially, there are actually 3 husky guys on here, but I can't remember the names, all I know is one gave me the smallest can of coke I've ever drank!

Well I've worked out who 2 of them are today!

Yes I heard it wasn't encouraged and not official. Some are for it some aren't.

Do Husky have representatives on Arbtalk now?

The best part is he was correcting the guy from husky on the history of the company he (adw) has worked for probably longer than ady's been fixing machinery

Look its only what I was told by someone who works for Husqvarna at the time. I was offered a job at Newton Aycliffe but didn't want to move up north as it would appear no one from Stonehouse did either.

this is incorrect. nothing to do with space but a decision to consolidate multiple sites in same countries into one single business unit.

 

The spares operation was moved for logistical reasons, reduce costs and to meet delivery targets.

 

Construction are not at stonehouse, this was closed years ago. its in gloucester.

Where is Andy White based now then?

Air injection, turbo,active air filteration does not force air into the carb space and does not increase power, it only pre cleans the air before being drawn into the carb space by the carb.

I agree! If it did force air in the winter running flap that you open to draw warm air over the exhaust and cylinder simply wouldn't work, air would go the other way.

Yes, I'm fully aware how it works, I modify them! Huskies also force air into the system, so the air is at a higher pressure than atmospheric! With a short window of duration on intake, increasing the intake-able volume of air will mean more can be drawn in per cycle, giving more power.

The main reason for air injection if thats what you mean was to remove the heavier particles before they got to the filter.

Not necessarily correct, it effectively doubles the filtration area (doubling the air intake), this is why Americans use huge air filters!

Yeah but the air is drawn through the filter or pushed through by atmospheric pressure to be precise, the engine only pulls in so much volume.

I thought about putting a sign up 'Get your Ebay chainsaws repaired here', thought it might get the message across.

As for fitting the 562 filter i doubt much deference would be noticed, apart from the fact that you are replacing an old filter with a new one.

Husqvarna UK was based in Stonehouse in Gloucesterhire, it was taken over by the a group company, it is now controled by by the Aycliffe Flymo factory, where they also control Jonsered, Mcculloch,Partner Consumer,and Gardena, the only products they do not control is Husqvarna Construction,Diamont Boart.

Husky was based at Stonehouse but were pushed for space. First they farmed out the spares distribution to distri part at the flymo factory site. Then after a wordwide review of operations it was decided in England it was more efficient to have everything in one place so operations at Stonehouse were moved to the flymo factory. Construction are still at Stonehouse though.

The traffic wardens round our way must be on piece work! The other week a ticket was put on a wedding car outside the church!

I thought the 0-90 gears were cheaper, about £70 +vat.

There's a circlip in there, take that out warm the casing and they drop out.

So how do we not know that discrunted dealers are not just phoning stihl and making it all up to get online dealers loose there stihl dealership.

Can't understand the warranty issues , go to back of queue, not doing it as you didn't buy it with me.... Money is money at the end of the day.

If stihl is anything like husky warranty it isn't really a money maker. You don't make any money on the spares used and filling in warranty claims all takes up time. As a guy who works for husky said "its more about looking after your customer". So if people keep buying elsewhere and expecting you to sort out the problems it does rub you up the wrong way believe me!

arm looks straight to me, also clutch doesn't look too worn. do you think its warn enough to give me these problems? also i tried to adjust the cable before hand adjusted it fully both ways and it didnt make a difference so im presuming it must be the clutch?

No you never can see the wear on the clutch. It would be daft now you've got it apart to not replace at least the sliding dog (clutch bit that slides) and don't forget about the 2 speed selector, make sure the plunger is free and springs back out all the way.

very informative, thankyou. from the above parts diagram in your experience which parts are likely to need changing? just weighing up whether its worth repairing or not. or even getting a 2nd hand gearbox (suppose this could end up the same as current box though)

I always found the 4 wheel gearbox to be quite reliable the roller type seems to give more problems.

Make sure the clutch lever on the gearbox is not cracked and that the 2 speed mechanism is working (not partially seized) sometimes they get stuck between gears.

When I started I used to wind them up as best I could, stick em in the case so the rest stuck out the slot in the case and then wound it in by rotating the whole spring in the case with some pliers.

Now I just use my thumbs, can't see what all the fuss is about!
