WOW , that's all I can say!

Dolmar PS-7310 with mild muffler mod, 36"/115DL 3/8" .058" chisel B&C setup, bucking oak.




I kinda didn't mind my uncle requesting from me to buck the log up into ~4" cookies.
That was great fun!

Good luck Wilhelm with the football tonight

Thanks, but I don't care about that circus.
If I'm not mistaken Croatia vs. England?
Good luck to Your team AJ!

Now if there were a World Cookie Cutting Championship and Croatia made it to the semi finals I'd probably watch that . . .

I was looking through the stadium to see a guy wearing a Dolmar T-shirt
But your not in mother Russia this week

The supermarket prize drawing was rigged and a Stihl guy got the ticket to Russia!
I'm sitting at home in front of my desktop PC, TV is not turned on.

I got a 6400 coil on the way for this beauty. Do they like timing advance? If so how much?

[T.Roller]

No response so far. I swapped coils this evening and retuned.

Oh and the air filter sucks on these. 3 1/2 tanks with a sharp chain and already have fines in the elbow. Pretty *s-wordty.

Flocked or black nylon AF?

If black nylon, ditch it - if flocked apply a little bit of grease around the seam of the AF halves and the intake seating, works wonders.

Considering You'll be tweaking Your saw You might wanna try the white "fine" nylon AF before You decide on the HD.


Apologies for the flipped pictures, they are all supposed to be landscape but the forum software is flipping them sideways!
Any workaround to avoid this?

Dolmar part numbers:
- 038 173 101 - flocked AF
- 038 173 011 - coarse BLACK nylon AF
- 038 173 080 - fine WHITE nylon AF
- 957 173 400 - Heavy Duty AF

I have the flocked filter. I'll try the grease for sure.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I've not had that problem with the flocked filter. Hope you get it figured out.

Picked this up a few weeks ago. Had never seen one B4
Found a new brake band and its cover. Should be here Thursday.
Not a lot around,,

Poor saw was destined for a life in the scrap pile before I found it and gave it a loving home. $25 carcass. 2016 model. Was missing clutch cover, recoil cover, fuel cap, and had a lightly scored top end from being a homo depot rental saw. Found a parts donor for covers/cap and threw the 6401 top end I had laying around on it and it is a runner. Well should be, I made a couple cuts but didn't have time to really tune and test it before the accident.

 

[Rob Stafari]

The parts saw to fix the salvage saw came with another parts saw. Early smurf 6421 with side decomp. Had a brand new NGK in it that wouldn't fire. New plug and a cat removal of course and it fired right up. After testing everything else of course. The plug was new and had spark, just not enough spark to fire properly. I now have three of the wood devouring gremlins. One to baby and two to throw on a double ended milling bar.

I need the help of some of you dolmar experts. The older dollars, I know and love,but the newer ones I haven't worked on much so I don't know their quirks yet.
Here's what I've got. Good customer brought in a 7910. Logger, so his stuff gets used hard, but took care of. This saw was new last fall, piston and cylinder went down under warranty. I don't know why. Didn't work on it then. Now, after less than 5 gallon of gas through it, it's down again. Saw has been running LEAN and hot. Anything that typically causes trouble on these? Haven't run a pressure/vacuum test yet, but will before I tear it down.
One more thing. He wants me to do a muffler mod on it and it's got the muffler that's got the "snout" that sticks into the exhaust port. Tips on modding that one?

I just did the muffler on mine. Map gas, heat the crimp and uncrimp around the muffler. After you pull it apart the slr should just slide out. Mine took a little persuasion to get it started. Then I just opened up the outlet hole.
