That's what I'll do, rebuild the carbs. Does anyone know what kit will work on the 5105? I ordered one for the Walbro WT series on the 3410, but the owner's manual doesn't say what's on the 5105. I just looked at the 5105 carb but couldn't see a number without taking it off. However, there...

Hm, As I recall my Dolmars came with a tool kit which had a small, flathead screwdriver in the pouch. That was for the carb adjustment screws. Of course, I lost all three of them somehow, so I ground down a small screwdriver to fit in the holes on the side of the saw. As I recall, there's not...

or when it might be another problem? Weekend before last I was cutting up a downed Red Oak using my Dolmar 3410TH for the smaller stuff and my 5105 for the bigger limbs. Both were running just fine although the 5105 seemed a little hard to get up to speed. In other words it bogged for a few...

[/URL][/IMG] maybe already posted on this thread but here I am on the way to Alaska in '08 on my '98 Moto Guzzi EV

I'm not sure, but will check sometime this week before using it again this weekend. Thanks for the tip.

"You need something that pushes apart, a slow burn," OK, I'll try some black powder, but I really thought black powder burns extremely fast. I just fear that the tough wood will not yield without destroying a good bit of it. That nipack gave it quite a jolt, but the log took it on the chin...

Thanks! I ran the saw a couple hours ago, and it seems to be running normally now. Maybe a little Seafoam in the gas might help, but, if not, I'll order that part.

Well, it was actually far from boring. I was standing on top of a large pine log about 7 or 8 ft. off the ground, straddling said log and trying to bore a hole straight down to the center so I could insert a stick of explosive in an attempt to split the log which was too big for the sawmill...

Yesterday evening I pulled the 5105 out of my truck tool box, filled it up with gas and bar oil and tried to start it. I couldn't pull the rope at all! So I took the spark plug out and found the reason - the cylinder was full of gas! I dumped out most of the gas and pulled the rope several...

No Joy! I tried the best and most straight grained log of the bunch and the one with what should be premium wood. I noodled both ends down to about the center with the 42 in. bar. My "bored" hole was not deep enough apparently, and the two sticks of nipack caused severe trauma to the...

The test subject, a very large log with huge ring knots, was guinea pig this afternoon. No pictures yet, but after 1 single charge that started a fault line, then two charges together, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. The split went around one the big knots and then clear to...

The sawmill owner was all over this idea, and I am too. I'd hate to ruin a brand new chain and bar, not to mention the power head. However, that acquaintance of mine with the nipack might not want to part with much of it, being that it's hard to come by these days:rolleyes: Maybe I can get...

Hm, someone I know has been hoarding some nipack, fuse and caps for a while. Maybe a slightly larger hole made by several saw insertions would be enough to accommodate the approx. 1 inch stick.:chop: I'm assuming SR is serious, so will this work only with relative straight grained wood free of...

I took three of the six logs to the sawmill yesterday, one at a time, and it was quite a chore just to get them on the trailer. My tractor could only pick up one end slightly, and then the rear tires would come up so much I had zero traction. Then the skid steer at the mill barely could lift...

I have vastly improved on my technique in the last few years. Since going to work for the county road dept. I have many opportunities to sharpen saws, especially when one of my co-workers tries to cut asphalt:rolleyes: Like someone else says, use a good file. They're cheap, and when they...

Good discussion here. I will be the first to say that pushing with a machine underneath the tree is risky, and, like I said, I worry about the operator. Ours is a very good one, and that gives me a little confidence. I won't let him push if the tree is severely leaning the wrong way. We...

OK, that seems reasonable, but can't this type of cut allow the butt (or point at which you cut) to "pop back" toward the machine? PS Your drawings are very clear.

"Why not shoot a line into your tree and pull them with your tractors." We have done this, but our situation normally means a tree is on the R/W near the ditch and treeline (our county is over 80% timbered). This means we can either pull it out into the roadway (not normally done), fell it...

I started to post a new topic but found this. My job with the county road dept. is supposed to be motor grader operator, but I made the mistake of demonstrating that I could run a chainsaw without cutting my leg off. Now, it seems I'm the designated saw man. We actually have a good bit of...

Just ordered a Windsor labeled bar for my Dolmar 3410T. I was up in a top yesterday and remembered I hadn't greased the sprocket lately. That was only minutes before the tip grenaded.:cry: I ordered a Windsor since I couldn't find any other replacement bar that gave me the exact numbers on my...
