Thanks for the input! I really do appreciate it. I leak tested the case and it help vacuum, I left it for more than a half hour. So I took everything apart fried piston on intake side only same with cylinder I'm about to order parts My plan is to replace cylinder and decomp valve, the old one...

Thanks! Yes I'll vacuum test, I have one. I use the 50/1 husky brand oil, all that's available here, I usually add an extra table spoon to the gallon as per suggestion on milling thread here. This saw is three years old and I have not had to do anything to it, still running on factory tune...

Hi Everyone I need some input My Dolmar 7910 started to run rough, hard to keep it idling but it would rev to WOT, then died and would not restart. It was smoking from around the muffle where some saw dust and canola had accumulated. I decided to pull it off the mill, let it cool down, and...

Hi Tla I have that exact mill but not the extra track and I run it all day two days a week. For that price Jump on it! There are some querks to this mill but there are with any mill chainsaw or bandsaw. I love mine and I am not easy on it. As far as the power head, don't skimp, a used big...

Thanks for the input guys. Any idea why my helper handle is heating up so bad? What a good lubricant option for the helper handle bearing?

Hi Everyone Somehow I have lost the oil injector bolt for my Alaskan mill!!! I have a 64 inch bar with the helper handle. I went to Granberg's website and the sell for $11.44 for the injector bolt, $.64 for the nut. Shipping is $15.86 Grand total is $37.94 for a freaking bolt. My question...

I always start with my "cost to produce", you have to know this before even considering selling anything from lumber, slabs, or finished furniture. Second is research what other sell or have sold similar product for. Third, consider the comparison between selling price and demegraphics of...

I'm gonna feel a bit odd for saying this, but. I like any twisted tortured gothic knarled log I can get for free! walnut, cherry, sycamore, sweetgum, red gum, all found a good use in my shop. I have tons of short leaf pine I am about to start milling. This will be my first time milling...

Thanks for the advice! Phil and Bob, Amazing mods! I will be working on this next week (I hope).

Here are a few photos First is the 30" Panther mill when I just got it set up, tesing on a small black walnut, Second photo is the 64" alaskan on a 200 year old magnolia

Hi Everyone I have a panther pro caraige mill with a big Dolmar PS 9010 and I'm looking for some ideas for modifying it. I did a bit of searching here and have not found any good photos. I am looking for a remote throttle trigger/cable set up I can set up on my alaskan and panther pro. I was...

Not yes, but Hell Yes! Mill it! Check out my avatar photo, it's a 36" cedar that was down in the woods for about 5 years. I think it would be a waste to cut dimintion lumber from it, 2" live edge is the way to go, Table tops!!

I've been using canola oil for about 5 years now.

I have both brands and like both, so I would go with the best dealer as well. A top notch support team is what you need to keep the saw running and, if you do your own fixit work like I do, then access to parts is of utmost importance as well as advise when you can't diagnose a problem yourself...

Thanks for all the input. About an hour ago I decided to just throw a bunch a parts at the problem. I run the crap out of this saw and a few extra parts wont hurt. I ordered the coil, another fuel tank vent sence I had only cleaned it so far. I plan to sit down and go over the whole saw as a...

Thanks Boon, yes muffler and exhaust port are clean, I took the screen out long ago

Thanks everyone. The saw is a Dolmar ps-9010, older one, no primer bulb or compression release button. I got the saw used in 2012, it had a 37" bar and new carb and fuel lines, ran great. I used it on a 67" Alaskan mill for about 20 hrs run time before the piston fried, there was an induction...

I wish I knew someone with the same saw! it's a Dolmar the bigest one they make, I use it on my chainsaw mill. Thanks Lonewolf. I hate just throwing parts at a problem, but everything else is checking out fine and the coil looks to be original to the saw. At $125 I really hate just replacing...

Thanks Mike. My saw idles fine but won't reach full rpm, I've checked all the usual culprits. Gass, plug, tank vent, carb, tuning, passed vacume test. just running out of things to replace.

I looked through the forum using the search feacher and have read up on what I could find else where. Is there a way to test a coil? I have one that is encased in epoxy with only two connectors, the spark plug wire and the kill switch wire. Is the an ohm meter reading to tell if it is...
