562xp vs 555 vs 6100 stock shootout!

Here is a couple more photos

Only with the dolmar does he lower the face guard...

That is hilarious! I didn't even notice. I need to get in a better habit. I usually remember after I get hit in the face. Lol

You ever seen a stock 6100 blow 190+ psi?

Not doubting, just kind of unheard of...

Almost every one that I have seen does in between 190 and 215
It will make you check your gage because even at that high it pulls easier then a 40cc saw

This is the change that may have made a difference. Only other changes are the intake hose and a Zama C3 DM27A vs C3 DM27 carburetor

Do you know when these changes were made? Manufacturing dates?

A "Brand New" ps 5105 pulled 195 psi with a tank through it....this seems to be where most of the saws are ( 195-200 psi ..ish ) stock !

I've been a fan of the 6100 for a while now but I wasn't aware of the high stock compression until this thread. That was a real eye opener for me.

Dolmars are factory hotrods. They blow 200psi stock normally.

Yes. . I think the brand new in the box ones blow 185. As well as the 5105s. Both of tese saws blow 220 + when I port them. Neither one has long enough skirts to take much more than .030 off. Dolmar likes torque. Lol.

Hi Randy!

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

What was the 5105 blowing you brought up to the rainy gtg. That was a fine saw

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

I think I should add the only one not blowing over 180 comp factory that I've tested is the 421. And I wouldn't beat it's that low. It's a 10mm plug and I need to order a new hose. But with a crappy hose new. It was pulling 165 iirc.

220ish. Iirc. @WKEND LUMBERJAK now has that saw. And it's broke in. He maybe able to help us out. I can tell you even with that high comp the 421-6100 start super easy with the easy start system.

A big assed redhead with a lot of wind. What's not to like?

I'm not surprised at all to see the 6100 best the 562.

Me neither blowing 190+ right outa the box.
That's nuts

Edit: didn't mean to sound like I was baggin on the dolly, despite being one of those elitist, 562 fan boys

Credit given where due. The dolmar's a runner for sure

IT'S NOT FOR SALE.

I don't have a compression tester that I would trust. It is stronger than when I got it. Clint @Time's Standing Stihl I wish I wasn't working next Sat. you could cut with it at Doug's .

I'd like to try a 6100 but it's near impossable to find a dealer in this area and the one I did talk to was pissed about Makita taking over , says they have screwed everything up so he's pulling the plug .
Seen others clearing saws up north and way east .

Really all makita did was cut out the middle guy. It sucks there doing away with the Dolmar name. However. The saws are not changing. Just a different sticker on them.

Ya that is the downside of dolmar/ makita. I do think that Makita is going to try and make a big push into big box and franchises like fastenal. Of course this is only my opinion.
