Well, I waited for the show, and Central Power Systems still doesn't have any PS5100s's in their inventory. Anyone get one yet? If so, from where? I've got one on B.O. and waiting, impatiently I might add.
Where is the PS5100s?

Only one because the distributor has more on order than their customers have on back order, meaning they should end up with inventory when their shipment arrives. If I see their customer backorders getting close to the expected shipment, I'll order another one or two, but otherwise, they are available next day, so why should I need more than one for now. Pricing is already available. If you want a price, shoot me and email or PM.
Oh sure Ed. Tease me because I cant go! If the wife delivers on time and everything is OK by the weekend of the GTG there is a chance I might be able to go.

Have you not been listening to Jokers ? use the handyman secret weapon, duct tape. 
Yah, I tried but everytime I get close to her with the Red Greene stuff she tries to kick me in the head. Actually, the sooner she delivers the better as she will have more time to recoup so I can go hang out with "all those weird online chainsaw freaks" (as she so nicely puts it).

I have over a dozen of the PS5100S on order, and a waiting list of local customers begging for them everyday!
As soon as they come in i'll place another order.

I have run a few tanks with the 5000 and I get a smile everytime.
If the 5100 is as good or better you will be happy with it!

The only difference between the PS-5000 (European Version) & the PS-5100S is the Ignition Coil (13,500 RPM vs 14,500 RPM US Version), limiter caps on the carburetor, and a different color hood (Orange vs Black)

The European version is available with (PS-5000S) or without the 14500rpm coil according to the info I have......166 said:
I have also read that the 5100 has slightly more displacement to compensate for some EPA-related feature, but I could of course be wrong.
There are a lot of misprint on Dolmers web-site, so I don't trust all the info there. The 5000S isn't listed there either, but here it is:

The weights listed in the test report is obviously wrong.

Sawtroll from what I have been told our 5100 is 50.3 cc and yours is 49 cc but like you said that maybe incorrect
Mange posted that according to his owners manual to his ps-5000, max no load rpm was 13,500. For the U.S. version to be governed at 14,500, I would think it must have a different cylinder/porting arrangement. My latest visit to the dolmar website shows the european version at 3.8 hp and the U.S. version at 4.0 hp. Hopefully due to the extra rpm's/cc's, the U.S. model will for once be the stronger one!

I know what Mange posted, It was the info available to him at the timebrent denny said:
- but take a look at the link I posted above.
There are different versions with max rpm of 13500 vs. 14500 (PS-5000 S).
Anyway, I think the US version will be the strongest one this time.
The US website states 2.9kw, 4.0bhp - which doesn't add up, though.
2.9kw is between 3.9 and 4.0hp, and between 3.8 and 3.9bhp as far as I know.
It could not be 4.0bhp even if the kw number is rounded down, and the bhp number up.
This is one of the misprints/mistakes I mentioned in my last post. :angel:
