Something dependable between 40 and 50 CC. People say look at the Dolmar. What suggestions do you all have? Another Stihl or a...

    Tuning / Limiter Tabs on my PS5100

    I have read a couple of older tabs on tuning the sweetheart Dolmar that I own, and it seems that there have been issues with not being able to get them to clearly 4 stroke. I don't own a tach, although trying to tune this saw is making me wonder if I need to break down and get one. I last ran...

    Dolmar 6400 upgrade questions

    I want to upgrade my 6400 and cant figure out if I should go OEM or big bore. I was dead set on OEM after reading every thread I could find. Than I realized the OEM cylinder I was looking at was the new 7910 and not the 7900 that are in the old threads. I know the 7910 is advertised as less...

    Ok I have a few questions before purchase. 1) In some pictures I see the decomp button on the left side or the right side of the saw, what does that mean (updated, other things changed ext?) 2) Muffler that comes with a new 6400 is now always with a cat? or do some have the SLR? 3) Is this...

    MMWS Stihl 461 vs. Dolmar 7900 ported?

    I currently have a Stihl 461 ported by MMWS. I love the saw! It cuts great, starts easily and is a very fun saw. Now here's where the question comes in. I have always been partial to Stihl. I know this is a very debated topic as to whether Stihl is the best or not - I like them and never had...

I just got finished doing 3 weeks of mission clean up work after the tornadoes that hit Mississippi on Dec 23. I have a MS 661, which I Love. It cuts through anything, as long as I...

    I'm pretty new here, but I've been watching the threads for a while now to try and buy a large milling saw to replace my makita 6401 with BBK that the dealer says needs new bearings now, but haven't found the right one in my price range (those 6401's can be quite the deal). I'm looking for...

    Getting another saw any suggestions?

    Hi, I'm looking to get a 5th saw, I already have a ms880, 372xp (old school), 550xp, 028WB and ms180. Looking for a third saw just for kicks, getting it this month any suggestions, no junk (poulan etc...) not really for a specific use, probably tree felling/firewood, open to anything. Thanks! :chop:

    Gave the old Dolomitey a workout today!

    Took the big bore Dolomitey out and finally cut a good tree with it. 28" bar. Stump is about 33". Didn't have my tape, only bar to use. Hard maple and no issue! Realized how piggish she is on fuel, but that's some wood to swing thru. Cut up tree today. First 5 blocks solid, then the old hollow...

    Echo 500p, 600p, 620p...Ebay Pricing Question

    I have an Ebay pricing question for someone who knows more than I about how these things work. My last two 600p's were bought off Ebay (recently) for $400 each and free shipping. These saws seem to show up pretty regularly at really low prices if a guy is keeping an eye out. My question is...

    How Did I Damage My Saw?

    I am a light chainsaw user - firewood, property clean-up etc. and just bought a new Dolmar PS5105 to take over full time duty for my vintage saws. I love it! While cleaning my saw after cutting, I noticed that the chain catch looked like it got nicked by the chain and the side of the...
