Here we go but stone cold facts!
Anyone who thinks dolmar is the second coming of the folks in orange let me tell you, for the last 5 months I have done nothing but clean air filters/ CUTTIN Scott, your air filter sucks. We put in a couple of dolmars amongst many stihl's and Husquvarnas and exactly what the guys who tried this locally told me happened,dolmar is like a piece of look-a-like stainless steel, looks good but doesn't last. After a few short months of running 2 5100's for limbing on ultra the saw has no compreesion, has never idled right and sucks wasp nests up/ hint hint. We gave these saws a chance in an ohio summer and they burnt up. There is a reason folks in my part use saws that are orange and not red. Don't take this offensive if you sell them or occasionally use them, they are fast but blow their wad early! Oh and don't try to tell me I didn't mix the gas wrong or done some other elementary thing wrong.

So.... you don't like the Dolmar saws, you say? :monkey:

Well, cannot say I ever owned one, becasue I have not. I investigated being a Dolmar dealer once, but it was way too much overhead, and I would have to have a repair shop on site. Biggest reason I never bought one was the lack of dealers in the west US. Or lack of availability when I actually made it to a Dolmar dealer here.

BTW: Are either the Dolly PS 350 or PS 410 out in the states yet? Or are there MORE delays???

If it didn't idle right, there was something wrong with it. Any saw will burn up if ran too lean.

Yup. Saw was trying to tell you something by not idling/running right...but ya went on and pushed it until it burnt up.

Too many people having too good of luck with the Dolmars for them to be bad saws.

Clearly operator error.

WOW!!!!
As I said, don't try and tell me something elementary. Whats it sound like if a saw is ran lean? I knew this would start a fight but I don't care, this is to let all the folks know what is what. Maybe the newbies who have CAD which is not a word, that if you wanna buy a saw stay away from johnny come lately or his older disowned brother.
