I just took a look at the parts diagrams for both the 5100 and 5105. They seem identical in every aspect, even part numbers. Guess they haven't updated that either............
According to Dolmar, it's for "enhanced starting behaviour".
Other than what you mentioned above, has there been any other changes to your knowledge?
My saw has the easy start, so I guess that means a 13800 rev limiter. I guess tuning it in the wood is my only option. I agree with brad though, Leaving a saw set at 13500 when it's advertised to run 14500 just isn't right. The optimum fuel mixture should be when it's set to 14200-14500.
They should at least change their advertizing.........
i own the new version with easy start and 13.800 rpm too.
if you want better accelaration, i would prefer to take a 8 pin rim for higher chain speed as i did. not so high rpm brings more torque, if you have the full bar in the wood. as my dealer always says, your high speed husis are very nice, but what ist the high rpm good for? if you compare the chain speed specs of 346 und 5105 (18,5 to 19,3) he maybe could be right. we don't need to discuss now, what saw handels so much better ..........
They haven't changed the original weight spec from the original 5000/5100S one either, even though that one was "optimistic", and later models obviously gained weight....
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but an 8 pin 3/8 is too much for this saw. Remember an 8 pin 3/8 sprocket will give you about 15% increase in chain speed, but it will also reduce torque by about the same amount.
What's the reason for the crank and rpm change? I'm guessing durability.

Your right 166. I looked in the owners manual and it says 13800 max rpm. I guess I should look in the owners manual more. I just assumed this ran the same rpms as the older models of 5100. Kinda dissappointing though. Now this saw is running the same rpms as the 510.If I'd a known that I would have just went with a 510 and save the extra 100.00

That sounds like lower compression to me? :jawdrop:
