    Sachs Dolmar wont start

    if the jug is as bad as you say piston or rings will do nothing, You might be better getting hold of a none runner with good compression, make a good one out of the two and sell the remaining for parts

    well built machine, I had no problem with disassembly, oil pump was easy to get off, cant say about the crank seal if that's the one? might require splitting the crank case! now thats a whole different ball game.
