So, how did I do?

[JustinM]

So I get a call from a friend & this is what I came home with.

It's a Dolmar KMS-4 wankel (in case that's not obvious).
It runs beautifully & apparently the history is that is has very low actual usage - although there's clearly a bit of cosmetic wear so I'm not sure I believe that.

At this point not sure what I'm doing with it (ie keep it or not). But having fun in the meantime.

You suck!

How many CC and what do these run for HP? Only heard very little about these.

We don't know how you did. We'd have to know what you paid to answer that

58 cc but a whopping 8hp - on account of the rotary engine.

Haha, good point. I'll leave it at "under $500"

OK, you suck

 

[Chris-PA]

Yup. You suck.

 

[jughead500]

Yeap you suck so much you have to sell it to me for half of what you paid.

That saw has to have a pretty amazing sound.

My first time to run one was last Saturday. Amazingly smooth for having no AV.

 

[Full Chisel]

Woah, a wankel chainsaw?! That is high on the cool factor, and that thing has some serious lugging power.

I'm thinking that may be the one that was on CL (for much less than $300) a week or two ago.....



What's that on the starter cover?

Don't think I've seen that on any KMS-4's before...

Nope, not on craigslist. Im up in Canada - he wanted a lot more than $500 actually but my keen negotiating skills (while trying to keep my enthusiasm in check) got it down a bit

I actually have no idea. It comes out from the handle bar. There's a bolt hole (and one in the starter cover) but no bolt. Ive seen it on 1 or 2 others (1 youtube vid i think?) but its definitely not common on most of them.
