    Is there a Dolmar guru in the house???

    Dolmar 100 was the world's first small vertcial cylinder up front muffler chain saw. Remember seeing some of the first ones to hit the USA. I was on the other side then, and was fascinated, but at the same time had to sell against it. They have built over one million....1,000, 000 saws off...

    Partner P 7700 - the missing link

    Oops, again. Sorry for the incomplete sentenance. My beloved wife has all....too often....told me that if my head wasn't permanently attached my a$$ would fall off. Some connection there? Being an Adult Attention Hyperactive Disorder (AAHD), and not taking my meds (which DO work) helps me to...

    Partner P 7700 - the missing link

    Rep both Partner, and Dolmar. Partner self oiling clutch bearing has used many years starting back with the "P" series chain saw, and the new "K" power cutters. Back.....in the early '80's. It definately works. Neat idea, which I wish I was getting royalties for it. Some competitors have...

    Partner P 7700 - the missing link

    Oops, should be Partner 7700. Thanks Saw Troll. Mange, Agree that a different perspective is in order, but it won't happen in the US. Those guys are some of the most arrogant, in great part becaus eof the $$$$ behind them, and have trouble not only getting experienced and seasoned reps...

    Partner P 7700 - the missing link

    Poulan Pro 475, 505 were J'Red's in disguise. Some were assembled in the USA. Herasd rumor that even some J'Red cylinders were built Stateside by Poulan Pro. Why not? They have a sister company that has great manufacturing capabilities, and can easily do it for economy of scale. 475 Stateside...

    Stihl's new Motor

    Little history.........no. Ever wonder why John Deere got rid of using Echo? Ever wonder why JD bought Homelite? Ever wonder why the association with Home Depot? JD knew Low Emission (LE) engine regs were coming like a freight train, engine technology both in the US, and Europe was...

    Solo 690 & 680 - Problems?

    Sorry to inform but the 680 & 690 were discontinued some years ago. Good power, decent AV control, fuel efficient. Couple things to look for: 1. Carb manifolds...first ones were black. Deformed with time, heat & screw torque. Will affect idle, acceleration, and causes a lean setting that...

    Makita/Sachs Dolmar

    Interesting new,.....but old info. In Germany on a year basis, they vote on the best power tools. Guess who was #1.' Your right....Dolmar, followed by Stihl, and Husqvarna #3. Have a window/door decal dealers can put on. Will scan & post later. PS52(520) 52cc is a USA saw. PS4600-5000...

    crankshaft stiff with new bearings?

    If the case screws were tightened in the correct order, and to the correct torque that can still happen in most any quality saw. Here's a tip that must be done carefully, and will both 'loosen up' the crank, and 'true run' it. Flywheel, clutch, piston, and oiler off. Rotate crank to get a...

    partner R**

    Mange, Coil position sure affected service life. Partner still has some coil life problems in some of the Power Cutters ( 650,700's)beccause the coil is still bolted to the cylinder left side like the old saws. I started w/ Partner around 1982 when alot of model changes had just started to...

    Stihl 065??

    At the GIE Show in Charolette, the factory rep said it's same saw as 660 w/ smaller displacement, and lower price to 'fill' a hole between the 460-660. MS650= 84.9cc, 4.8 kW, 16.3 lbs, 27.9 oz Fuel, 12.2 oz B&C, Pwr/Wt Ratio .294. MS660= 91.6cc, 5.2 kW, 16.5 lbs, 27.9 oz Fuel, 12.2...

    Partner P 7700 - the missing link

    While Partner chain saws have been dead for years in the USA, it still was marketed in Europe. No question it's a J-Reds using Partners Super AV handle system.

    partner R**

    Mike Acres, Some cereberal cob webs clearing. Only some. R 85/100 cc shared all parts but the cyl/piston just like the P series. Pics show a button hole plug in the cover. R 85 or 100 cc she is, but didn't all the 40's have Decompression Valves???????? Some info you might enjoy...

    SOLO KleinMotoren Comes Thru!

    Spacemule you may be on to something.... Was told that a total of three suits were attempted by Stihl against Dolmar. World's First Chain Saw, World's Largest Chain Saw, and Colors. The last one they won. Dolmar was voted: #1 Brand of the Year by Dealers & Distributors in Gernmany...

    SOLO KleinMotoren Comes Thru!

    Really can be quite interesting, even confusing at times of who is actually correct. Site is wrong about world's first as related to the concept & application of "chain saw", and right about Stihl developing a chain saw. Interesting to learn about a California saw. Please look at the...

    SOLO KleinMotoren Comes Thru!

    No, Nein, Nyet, Nueve. Dolmar isn't part of E-lux conglamoration. Owned by Makita, it's a seperate company. Located in the high tech industrial city of Hamburg, Germany it's been in business since 1927, having the honor of producing The World's First Chain Saw, and still in business.

    SOLO KleinMotoren Comes Thru!

    max2cam; Your right....those are the OEM fastner. Dolmars, I think have been real easy to determine displacement for quite a few years. Examples two small Pro saws with over 1,000,000 (one million) made. PS341, PS401 Same crankcase, same saw. PS = Power Saw First two numbers ,34, and 40...
