Smokin’ deal! Although it looks damn cold there in the background.

SawAgain sells them for $358.

That’s a nice Dolmar right there🤩

Sachs Dolmar 143. 95cc

Like I said, speaking from experience. I bent this crank installing a cylinder (short version). It failed the first time the saw was revved up. The metal from this contaminated the bearings, piston and case. Because I never considered that could happen, I reused the bearings on the next rebuild...

Crank bent. Don’t use it. It takes very little to irk one, less than you’d think. If you somehow get it to go in, it’ll really grenade. I’m speaking from experience, not with a 500i specifically, but with another.

I got an almost full set. Some here in the US thru eBay and some from Outbushman. The magnets on them can break easily, like during shipping. It’s a great tool.

For sale. 201TC with bar and chain. Just worked it over with my MDG1 and it passed all tests. Has 219 hours on it with just over 1800 successful starts. I ran it in wood with the included b&c and can report that it works as designed. Cuts just like it should. $350 + shipping.

That’s a real nice example. I already have one. GLWS

Bummer

Any chance Stihl will cover the failure? There’s a recall on some of them.

Also, mine is ALMOST as nice as that and it’s ported. That’s a nice looking saw.

Yep. look for the Stihl logo. Beware if you see a big F. (Farmertech). Also, I didn’t get bars with mine. Good looking saw at the right price is what I’m thinking. But do your due diligence.

I think paid would trump interest😁🤷‍♂️

That’s a really nice example of an 084. I have one that nice and I paid $2200 I think.
