I've been measuring to the saw body, take another inch off if we are talking actual usable bar length. 14 1/4" from the flat of the bucking spike, talk about some optimistic measurements, at least call it 15"...
Do you know or believe that the us and european models are not the same? I donot know but I can hardly believe that a company as small as dolmar has the muscle to push two different production lines for different continents.There are less changes 420/421, 350/351 on the USA models than the European models. It is pretty easy to figure out but do keep in mind. I thought the conversion was to 2.9 hp a lot of saws score 2.2 in metric.
We have been through this before ......

Further I only took the h.p. numbers from the homepage.
And last there is a test done in a german magazin, where they used the engine testing equipment from Stihl and proved the numbers. Here is the link. Might be interesting for number crunchers like Sawtroll! Weil ich weiss das Du auch deutsch lesen kannst!

And last, quite a interesting comment from above article, is that the Dolmar, although "old fashioned classic" engine design, needed less fuel than the Husqvarna 445! That would go in hand with what Dolmar "officials" commented in another magazin that the engine "had a redesign" so that it reaches much better emision results, so that for them the cat is the simple answer.

It's the best resource we have sofar until chadihman finally builds a measuring setup for small saws...
But even then, having Stihl not in first place for quite a few numbers, is at least for me an indication that not everthing is forged as you quite often imply. Further the numbers and comments on testing are also quite different. But then everyone has to make his own conclusions when reading a source of information.

I have viewed the parts sheets and some has been discussed on here. I thought the coil was an issue but it appears the same by the parts sheet, might investigate further.Do you know or believe that the us and european models are not the same?

Back a the original discussion here.
I like 30LP on my smaller saws. I holds an edge well. It is pretty bouncy at the beginning of the cut but seems to settle down as the chips start flying. I'm wondering if a bar with more nose to it will reduce that jumping? Has anyone ran 30LP and the Oregon non safety LP chains. Which do you prefer if you have. The 30LP really throws chips. I don't see such a huge advantage over .325, but have nevr run smaller saws equipped with it.
