Dolmar 5105 issues

What you can do is go way rich, slowly lean her out until you hit the limiter than back it off a little, that will get you in the ballpark.

Thanks, Andy! I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I’d rather be too rich than too lean, for sure.

The 5100 is rev limited, tuning in the cut or with a tachometer is the best option. Caution must be used! the limiter can sound like for stroke burble if you're not familiar with the sound, and you can go too lean trying to clean up that burble.

The 5100 is a non limited coil and advertises 14,500 rpm, The 5101 has a limited coil, along with the 5105. I believe they are both around 13,800 IIRC

There is no unlimited coil for this series saw. 5100s and early, non-easy start 5105 was limited at 14.5k. After that they were 13.8. The 510 and 460 were lower than that, 13.6 I believe.
