Yep. That's what was wrong with my saw, too. Seems to be a design flaw :)

Thanks to everyone for all the info. I think it was like 0 when it stopped oiling. How do I test the vent? It looks clean, but that's a teeny hole there. I bet it's the pump.

Hi, My Dolmar 5100S has stopped oiling of late. I pulled the plate off where the oil line comes in. It seemed clean in there. Someone mentioned a vent could be plugged. Where is the vent? If I'm going to check the pump I have to take off the clutch assembly, but unlike my Stihl, which has...

I have a similar problem with my 5100 which has recently stopped oiling. Where is the vent for the oil so that I can check it? Also, do I need a special tool to remove the clutch assembly? My Stihl takes a standard 19mm, but I don't see any wrench fitting on this Dolmar clutch.

And... Do you just set the carb so that the saw runs at the speed specified by the manual at full throttle?

Carb Adjustement Primer Hi, Can someone tell me how you know if a saw is running lean or rich? What do you need in order to set it properly? My 5100S is at factory settings and has been fine, but I was just wondering how you KNOW what adjustments to make and when to make them. Thanks,

Drive Link Shape So, the shape of the drive link is the same (or close enough) to make a Husky chain work on a Stihl, or an Echo work on a Dolmar, you are saying. Why, then does Oregon package things based on brand, rather than by guage/pitch/link count? I know that they have that info on the...

Hi All, Is saw chain standard after you account for pitch and guage? In other words, does all the chain hook into the drive wheel the same way? If not, what variants are out there? Thanks, -- Andrew Bell [email protected]

Compression Guage OK, I'll assume I have the wrong guage since the saw did run when it was warmer out. The one I have just has a hole in the brass fitting that screws into the spark plug hole and a pressure release right next to the guage about a foot away. Can I get some other style guage...

Saw Update Thanks for your ideas. Sorry to take so long to follow up - busy. I put an auto compression guage on it and it came out at about 67. Is this an OK way to test? What is good compression for this engine? Pulled the cover off and found the impulse line. Looks OK. I didn't...

Hi, I have a seven-year old 025 that has run well until recently. In the very cold (0-25), the saw doesn't want to idle - it cuts out instead. It also has very little power before it warms up (putting it to wood makes it dies). I took it to the dealer who put in a carb kit, replaced the...
