So I picked up this old Dolmar, what the hell is it exactly?

What number is on the id tag under the clutch? Plastic tank, id tag. Must be a 120si.

I have never seen that clutch configuration on a 120. Could it be for a 6800? Trying to keep these old saws in working order can be tough sometimes. It’s nice to know there are other options. Thanks for the picture.

My dad has a dolmar 120si and I know it's never been messed with, I'll see if I can get some pics this weekend maybe it'l make things more clear........Or more confusing lol

I'm done caring about this one. It is what it is, a nice running Dolmar saw. I had a nice fella from Belgium or Germany (I forget which) send me a near full CD of Dolmar documents some time back. So much I never looked through them all till now.

More then ever I feel this is a 120SI all but the crankcase ign and clutch which appear to be from a 120/120S. Or you could say its a 120/120S with all the 120SI parts needed to convert it to a injector saw.

That 360 deg 3 shoe clutch shows in the 116/120 IPL but interestingly only shows the spring and washer as service parts. It sure appears to be a better option then the wimpy looking 2 shoe shown for the 120S/ SI and 6000/6800 saws.

Another thing is this will have a new owner one of these days. It don't fit in with what I need to cut wood with and it don't fit with what I collect. Won't be long till tax time and someone will be on it when they can afford it.

If I had anymore sand cast you would be sending it to me, I've run dads I know how they are pretty dang hot runner.

That 3 shoe clutch is the newer style. My 117 and 119 has this type clutch. My 120si has the old style 2 shoe clutch and outside coil.

Tag also say 120 made in 1988. Bought this as not running. Injector keeps flooding.
