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

Just want one.

And you lost points for that husky in there, it's contaminating the dolmars

Multiple hooskies, homelite and even a stihl. What can i say, i like them all.
I favor the dolmars though

Basically a muffler mod without splitting the muffler. Works good and sounds nice.

Is there a Stihl or Husky muffler that fits a Dolmar PS-9010?
I find the OEM 9010 mufflers tough to mod.

Been looking for a replacement muffler as well for quite some time Wilhelm. They are not that easy to mod for sure with only simple tools.
440/460, 660, 372/390 all wouldnt fit. The circled part in the picture is the main reason. Quite narrow between the case halfs

Thank You for the info, good to know what doesn't fit!

For a piss rew and noise contest a single muffler outlet on a Dolmar PS-9010 is barely enough!
Go with two huge outlets to secure a win.

Yeah, I came to that realization this evening winning a piss rew contest with my work PS-9010 by a hair!

Are there any slab style AM pistons for the 7900? Cheapest I've found an OEM is ~$100. All the AM pistons I've found are windowed.

New in my collection:

 

[Wilhelm]

Monster meeting, Dolmar PS-7310, PS-7900 & PS-9010.
24" & 36" B&C's, 36+" fresh oak trunk with a gnarly knotty top section.

 

[Wilhelm]

Dolmar PS-6400 bucking action, 10" short rounds, damn many cuts.


I love this saw!
Her bigger sisters are just too damn mean and thirsty.
They come out for big wood play as seen in my previous post.

Yes, I guess you have been busy.

I couldn't resist her charms:






so I had to buy her.

DOLMAR PS-390 from 2006, NIB, never fueled, b&c never attached.
This is the 4th PS-390 currently in my posession, two are NIB, one is next to new with only
one or two tank-fillings of workload and one is my favorite all-day-worksaw having undergone some
serious modifications like muffler-mod, carb modified to support a primer bulb, ported cylinder, adjustable oil pump ...

I love my PS-390s

Still waiting for the piston for my 144 to arrive, I updated both my PS-8700 and my 153 with new Japanese bars:





63cm / 25" Red Mountain bar made by Sugi Hara.
I'd really liked to have a Red Mountain branded bar for my 166 but since Red Mountain is out of business selling bars, their'e next to impossible to find new.

Pictures of my PS-8700 are in the Dolmar 64xx/73xx/79xx series, smurfs and solo 665/675/681 thread

You must not like her very much , Your woods not quite big!

And Your chain is a little bit loose.

Old school saw sound, gotta love it!

I’m afraid that is as big as I can get down to the wood yard. I recently had two Poplar logs 34” diameter. They were fun but I had to cut them up in the driveway. They were too big for me to deal with getting down to the wood yard. Yes, I see the chain is loose. I was just so happy to get it running and oiling, and I was enjoying myself.
It’s a heavy saw. The men that carried these in the woods could probably throw a 500I a country mile. They would undoubtedly think the new saws were toys when they first pick one up. Who knows what they’d have thought after using it.
