Dolmar 143 Service Manual needed

[WaterDog16S]

Bought a Sachs Dolmar 143 at auction, non- runner. Going to try to bring it back to life. Need a Service Manual. Any out there? Thanks.

Check your inbox for a small Clymer service manual. Haven't seen a factory 143 service manual.

Thanks Ray.
Still hoping to turn up something more complete.

Should be very similar to a 123, or 133 manual only real difference would be bore size and maybe a few small things

What are you needing to know about the 143. Lots of people on here could probably help you figure it out?

Flywheel retaining nut torque for now.
Waiting on a kit for the carb, and a tach.
It's a non-runner I bought at auction. Seems to have PLENTY of compression, I had to get help to hold it down when I cranked it, lol.
Hoping I don't have to tear it down but just wanted to be prepared. Would like to put a 3-4' bar on it for some of these big oaks we've been cleaning up from storm damage. Have been making do with an old Craftsman 3.7 with a 28" bar, but it has required a lot of notching to get deep enough on some of them.

Have any spark? Ignitions was the biggest issues with those saws

Good strong blue with new plug gapped to .025", after cleaning flywheel. Dumped all existing fuel (checked fuel filter, it was clean) and added fresh 40:1, installed plug and cranked until I was winded. No hit. Pulled plug and it was dry.
Ordered carb kit. When I got this saw it had years of dust and cobwebs on it.
