DOLMAR/MAKITA The Official Sachs Dolmar Dolmar Makita Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

[Johnmn]

At least they don't seem to discriminate. Lol

I wonder what percentage of chainsaw users are attracted to men?

Nice bear family, how long is that Tsumura bar on the 143 BTW?
The Tsumuras are extremely difficult to obtain in Germany since there
is no official dealer, only some very small businesses who import the bars
on their own account and thus don't have uncommon types in stock.
For my 166 e.g. I have found a 30"/75 cm sprocket .404 bar with Stihl 3002
mount, had to adjust the bores but on the other hand, the Tsumuras cost about
half of equal sized Sugis (at least here in Germany).

On my CA the oil pump worked so there was no need to dismantle.
However, the pump works pretty similar to most other oil pumps (at least)
on Dolmar saws:
There ist a rotating piston with a cut-off section (part no. 113.245.070) driven
by a shaft (113.245.010) which itself is driven by the crankshaft.

You've got a lot of teal saws.
I only got one.
But mine is a DOLMAR:

Very cool. Wonder if for a brief time Makita was planning to keep the Dolmar name but repaint everything blue? I keep thinking that, to keep both sides happy, they should name the OPE machinery Makita-Dolmar similar to how it was previously Sachs-Dolmar. That way, Makita can plaster their name on Dolmar products but the Dolmar name will still be there. Also, call me weird, but plain old "Dolmar" sounds like it's missing something. Sachs-Dolmar just sounds correct to my ears, and I could live with Makita-Dolmar.

Just to prove it's a real Dolmar and not a Makita with Dolmar decals:

Oil line was broken. Year of manufacturing: 1993.

Below is what they sell as replacement for the NLA oil hose: PS-32 fuel line. It doens't even look similar but it can be made to fit:

For the suction line I found some NOS part

That's a saw I'd like to find out more information about. The serial number tag looks to been stamped by hand.

Here is an almost new '94 116Si serial number tag for reference.

That's a saw I'd like to find out more information about. The serial number tag looks to been stamped by hand.

The saw is an interesting one, however I can't say much about its history. Bought thru ebay, the seller himself referred to a previous owner in text of the ad. And that's all.

Here is how the saw looked like on arrival, the decal on the sprocket cover was partly faded but read "DOLMAR 120si" as well.



And this is the S/N plate in current state. Apparently it has suffered from cleaning.



Compared to your 116si plate it looks somewhat "hand stamped" but then again the layout, quality and number of items shown on the serial tags have that often changed during production, I wouldn't dare to draw any conclusion concerning this saw's origin.

Very Interesting to see this Saw , I’ve seen a few blue Makita 309 power cutters
But never a 120

Below is. 95 ps-6000i

What model AJ? I am a Dolmar rookie.

6000i is the successor to the 116si, as the 6800i is to the 120si.
All built on the same basic chassis.

 

[RI Chevy]

So that saw is a newer model Bill?

 

[wcorey]

Yes, 6000i replaced the 116si. Was made in both Makita and Dolmar branding.

Not a particularly recent model though, if that's what you meant...

 

[RI Chevy]

Hmmm. I am really out of my element with these Dolkitas. I gotta get with it. Lol

 

[166]

The 116Si & 120Si series started in '87. Evolved into the 6000 & 6800 in '95. Ended production in 2003 or so with only the 6000 being made.
