Could this be a Makita in disguise

[Ford3000]

Wondering if anyone knows what this saw is,the badge says its a Stiga SP386,

but for its advertised cc 's it seems to cut like a bigger saw.

The Muffler looks to have the same mounting pattern as a Makita EA4300 / Dolmar 421

but not exact same muffler.

Does anyone know if this is a Makita or Dolmar in disguise, is it a split case or plastic clam.

Here is it being repaired then used,

Yes. It s a Dolmar 421 copy with a twist.

What’s the twist?

 

[nenicu]

On the Dolmar 500 case they make a 53cc saw and it seems even 62 cc. Hyundai chop saw at 62cc. And more.

The twist its they changed some in the carb compartment. Not entirely true to the original. At least on the bigger versions. Some mashup between a Zenoah cylinder and the Dolmar case.

 

[nenicu]

But yes they are built on the Dolmar cases.

Stiga saws are 100% garbage.

Wondered how long it would take for the discontinued Dolkita gas stuff to start showing up in Chinese flavors. Guess that time is upon us.

They are obviously out there, I might go fondle one in the flesh, just to see, the internet
shows a guy putting a two ring non modified piston into one, can't determine the model
of Stiga that was, then the next guy pulls one down and its a clam shell, and there is only
three models of these to begin with, confusing, they might be different depending on where
they are sold, a guy might have to do a Mick Dundee to be sure, a good fondle reveals the truth.

Farmertec 7900 anyone?

Would make a change from their Husqvarna and Stihl knock offs.

Stiga is a Swedish brand. Nothing they make is made in Sweden, a lot is in italy if the sales rep isnt lying.
