Hey guys, first time poster here on AS.
Just ordered a new Makita DCS510 from Baileys. Have had experience over the years with saws, but mostly in just cutting firewood for the house. Have never before taken this serious of an approach to being a saw owner. I perused the forums and reviews for some time before settling on the decision to buy the Makita. I am not starting this thread to feed the trolls or start some e-peen battle, but rather to gain insight from intelligible posters with experience running and maintaining the DCS510.
I saw that the Dolmar 5100 was reproduced as the 5105, which came with improved cylinder cooling. Does the 510 have the same features?
People have said that replacing the new EPA-standard CAT muffler with a non-CAT muffler is a good choice. Where can someone buy the non-CAT muffler?
What kind of pre-mix are you 510 users running? At what ratio?
Any tips for tuning specific to this saw?
Thanks in advance for the input.
