Went to get a mower and came home with......

Ok, I have the carb kit and base gasket on order, only question I have left is, could someone recommend some fuel line for this thing? I don't know if I need to find the same as what is one it, or just get some bulk fuel line in the right size, what ever that is.

I would like to thank everyone for there help/support! I really enjoy work on these saws!

Thanks again, Scott T.

Ok, I got the fuel lines and oil seals ordered. Figure I might as well replace them now. All I think I may need is a fuel filter, or the felt for it. It needs a new bar and chain also, but that can wait.

Thanks again for the help guys! I am going to try cleaning some of it up tomorrow if I get time. 3 year old twins seem to take up most of my time these days!!

Still waiting on parts, they should all be here by Friday. So in the meantime I started cleaning some of the parts up. I have to help take down some old dead trees at my in-laws Saturday, so I probably wont get to work on it until sunday or Monday.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a bar for this thing? I have an Oregon on the Makita dcs34, and a Carlton on my 288xp, and a Stihl on my, well, Stihl. So I figure since I have 6 different brand saws, I should have 6 different brand bars, haha! It came with a Windsor, but its in bad shape.

Thanks again everyone!

I like the Windsor Speed Tip bars. I think the saw would look good with it.

So I got to work on it for just a minute this weekend. I got the piston in it and realized I haven't ordered any gaskets for it. I need the gasket that goes to the plastic manifold that attaches to the cylinder its self. If I get more time today I will see if I can find them.

As for a bar, I am going to wait until I get it running, then I will order one. After running my Stihl 038 Super this weekend with a 20" bar I decided I really need an 18" on this one. On another note, my dcs34 Makita ran great with a new bar and chain!

Thanks again everyone!!

Alright, so after being busy for the last month I finally found a little time to work on the dolmar. I got it back together and it fired up on the 2nd or 3rd pull, then died. And wouldn't restart for until it had set for about 10-15 minutes. Smelled like it flooded out. Could I have put something back together wrong on the injection lever deal? I also have some blackish gas smelling fluid coming out on the clutch side. So I need to go ahead and replace the oil seals since I have them. I got in a hurry because I have a stihl 034 and parts saw I have been wanting to play with!

Just took a quick look at it again after getting home, and noticed that it looks like I may have gotten the wrong chain. Looks to be binding at the sprocket. So I looked and the old bar is a 20" with 70 teeth on the chain, the new one is 18" with 68 teeth on the chain. Engine work I don't have many issues with, but for some reason chain can be confusing to me, ugh!

Scratch that, the old bar is only about a half inch longer than the new 18" one. So maybe I will just put the old stuff on for now while I figure out were I went south

 

[Thomud]

So I actually got a chance to look at the chain issue for more than 2 minutes, and found that it is the chain brake that is causing the sparks. So I need to look into it a little more, but it makes me feel a little better. Other another note, it seems to run really good! I still think that I may not have something right on the injection lever, but I will mess with it later.

Thanks again for all the help guys! The manuals have been very helpful on this one!

The lite weight rust package was standard equipment on the older Jeeps. It was to aid in fuel mileage by reducing weight.

So I got the saw all back together but haven't had a chance to get it in any wood yet. Hope to in the next week or so. It runs really good, but I haven't modified the muffler yet but will soon. I will get pictures this weekend.

On another note, if anyone is interested in the Mac 10-10 I don't think I am going to do anything with it. I need to work on my Stihl 034 and cant seem to find the time for it!

So I finally got a picture of it. I have noticed that it only runs with the "injection" lever up. If I put it down it dies, but just to note I haven't rebuilt the carb yet. And as for the bar I just went with an Oregon bar and chain since I got a good deal on it. I may keep my eyes open for a Windsor in the future though.
Hope to get to rebuild the carb sometime soon but life has been very busy lately, and with winter coming I started working on my 1971 Gilson snowblower to get it in tip top shape. Also wanting to tear out my fireplace, its a steel firebox, and take down the fake rock wall around it and install a wood stove I have setting in my garage. Would put out a lot more heat!

Thanks for all the help so far, on all the saws actually! I don't know if I ever would have started messing with them if it weren't for this site!!!
