Dolmar PS 510... anybody have one?

[Den]

Just wondered if anybody has a Dolmar PS 510 ?
I'm looking at one, I think it has "easy start" if I remember correctly.
What do you think of them?
Are there any prolific dealers/outlets that sell piston/cylinder kits for them... other than what I see on Ebay?

Very little aftermarket support. A new top end is $150 plus and if it needs it you might as well get the power bump from a 5100s or 5105 top end.

Thanks cuinrearview. Did not know about any of the top end information you gave. Much appreciated.
I just wonder if its worth fixing, or if anybody even likes them.

I've built a few. Very versatile saws. Great AV and class leading power(5100 and 5105). There were a couple issues with the 5100s but they were sporadic and mostly corrected in the 5105. Lots of saws out there putting wood in the shed with no issues. The only legit complaint is that they're a little tubby. I'll take that for the way they're built.

I had one for a bit. I liked it. Heard good things about the 5100 series too.

I've used two piston kits from Lil Red Barn in the 510's. Have had good luck with them. They have been cutting firewood for well over a year now.

The one I did was fine for a stock build. I wish they made the skirts at least as wide as OEM. The Dolpima "kolben" on ebay does not fit as delivered. The inside of the skirts hit the crank weights at BDC. I thinned them some to work. It ran fine after that but I wouldn't buy again.

510 has the aluminum cases, 5100 the magnesium. Muffler mod/cat delete and put in a thinner base gasket for good measure
