call bs if you want to because frank i could care less what you are saying..
If you "sold" Dolmars and had as many burnt out ones as you do I'd take the distributorship away from you and tell you how to tune a saw properly. Exactly what batch were these saws and what was the date of manufacter? Surely you can find the date. Its right on that sticker thingy...
What storage facility did you take the 5100's to? The Fried Dolmar facility? Right next to the Pink Elephant Facility?
Personally if it was a warranty issue I'd probably contact Dolmar, get the parts, and rebuild them...
Well thats what most dealers would do anyway...
I mean real dealers...

Now that's some of the funniest :censored: I've heard here in a long time!!.....LMAO
290.....plastic fantastic, heavy, slow, unexciting, flat out boring but if treated properly is dependable and God forbid could last a lifetime in the right hands.
5100....pro built saw, powerful, high revs, great sound, downright exhilarating to use....Is just as dependable as any other brand of pro built saw, if tuned and treated properly! :greenchainsaw:
That one's a no brainer. The 5100 is a pro built saw and will cut circles around a 290. You won't find more saw for the money.
5100 all the way! imo.
It sounds like stilboy is exagerating just a little here, to have that many burnt saws is just hard to believe, i for one have not had a bit of trouble with my 5100s but i also clipped the limiters and richened it up a tad when i got it.
He may want to change his avatar also, it says he had one saw in aug and now has 8, now if he is just getting into saws i find his experience with the Dolmars a little hard to believe?
I can't for the life of me understand what it is about having all of one's saws listed in one's sig...i ran out of characters in my sig.
Thanks stihlboy, I was in the market for a new chainsaw and was contemplating trying the Dolmars, but your comments on that brand have changed my mind.
There's no way I'd buy a Dolmar now. I see now that they're actually a sub-standard brand . Seizures, unreliability etc.. It does makes sense, as there's not many Dolmars around.
Lucky I stumbled upon this thread. I likely would have ended up with a junk saw. I'll be staying with the proven proper chainsaw brands from now on. Thank again for the good info.
a subsidised dealership
