After reading through this thread for the last week I felt I should submit a post.
I bought my 112 new in '78 and used it for building demolition and site clearing for a few years before moving on to other things. I kept the Dolmar, I always liked that saw, nice to use, nicely balanced and never let me down, I have to admit it wasn't looked after very well but it never let me. It seems like every ten years I'd get it going then put it back in the shed for another 10 years. Any way this time around I'm making a bit more of an effort.
I replaced the tank fuel line, removed and replaced the cylinder cleaning up the bit of carbon build up and satisfying myself the piston and cylinder are in good order.
I then bought a donor 112 and from the donor replaced the aluminium handle with a pretty red one, also ex the donor a chain brake guard, one isolation mount, a 45cm roller tipped bar, bar cover and a new sprocket and bearing which came with it but never fitted. The donor also came with a new in box Mako piston and ring, it was a trade in they intended to get going but never got around to it.
I did pretty well out of the donor but still need a couple of chain guards if anyone can help.
Overall i'm very happy my 112 is getting back into working order
I'm having trouble tuning the carby I've pulled the carby down and blown it out a couple of times, I'm thinking a diaphragm and gasket kit may be in required, any suggestions.
I would like to get the donor going with the new piston, the cylinder looks pretty bad but maybe it's not as bad as it looks I've attached a pic what do people think can it be saved.
Any way that's my little story to date I've learn't a lot from this thread, thanks everyone.
