    What brand of 2 stroke oil are you using ?

    I'm kind of amazed looking at the poll that "other" is far exceeding the stihl, husky, echo oils as those are the norm around here.

    What brand of 2 stroke oil are you using ?

    Ran Stihl for years in my Sachs/Dolmar and Stihl weedeater and Blower. It would plug the screens periodically and almost completely plugged the muffler on my blower. Ran good though if all was clean. Recently bought some Opti-2 to try. Staying with 50:1 though even they say 100:1. Although I am...

    Swapping chain size.

    Ended up with a Carlton chisel. He made it up for me right then. $23.96

    Swapping chain size.

    Called the Dolmar dealer 10 miles away and he has 3/8 .050. $23 for a 64 drive link. It is a chisel. Price about right?

    Swapping chain size.

    I think my dealer mainly carries .064. 3/8 is not common around here. Going to call a Dolmar dealer today and see if he has it.

    Swapping chain size.

    I believe it is 64 drive links. And yes it's the original bar that came on the saw when bought new in 1982.

    Swapping chain size.

    On my Sachs Dolmar 114 it uses the 3/8 .050 chain. I am running an 18" bar. My local Stihl dealer does not carry that size. Would I need to change bar and sprocket to convert to the Stihl chains? I'm sure he could just order the correct size chain but didn't know if there would be an advantage...

    SD 114 carb settings?

    Al, that's pretty much how I set the L side. I was at 1 1/2 turns out but after messing with it again I'm about 1 1/4 or a tad more.

    SD 114 carb settings?

    I let it idle on the floor for a few minutes. Picked it up and it responds instantly with the L out 1 1/4 turns. I tried it at 1 turn out and it bogs at the first hit of the throttle. Idle has stayed pretty consistent. I let it idle for prob 3min and it just purs right along.

    SD 114 carb settings?

    Tried 1 turn out on the L side and it bogs for just a quick second. Went to 1 1/4 turns out and the bog goes away. I think it likes that little extra of fuel. Smells a little richer also.

    SD 114 carb settings?

    Ok thank you! The saw really wakes up quick now from idle. I will reset the L side to one turn out and try that.

    SD 114 carb settings?

    With the saw set back to the factory settings it is idling great and is very responsive off idle. To set the high side, should I do it in the cut and tune for peak rpm in the wood?

    SD 114 carb settings?

    I recently replaced the tank vent tube on my SD114. The saw has always died if you let it idle for more than a few seconds. The tank vent line just rotted off and has prob been causing problems for a while. I set the H side screw to 1 turn out and L side screw to 1 1/2 turns out and then set...

    Poulan Pro 655

    My dad picked up a Poulan Pro 295 at an auction for $5! Runs great!

    Do you think the gas tank vent could be plugged? Causing the tank to pressurize and overpower the needle and seat and filling the cylinder?

    I have an old SD114, about a 1982 model. The air cleaners on these saws is terrible in my opinion. After replacing the filter and running the saw 4-5hrs its amazing how much debris is in the mouth of the carb. I inherited this saw from my dad and it has been this way since the day he bought it...

    Need a few parts for my SD 114.

    Thank you!

    Need a few parts for my SD 114.

    These are the bushings Jacks has listed. They look identical to the ones in my 114 but the 114 is not listed in the application. Think these will work? http://www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/part/dolmar/965403430
