Dolmar 64xx/73xx/79xx series, smurfs and solo 665/675/681 thread

Might be able fit them with some mods? A dolmar muffler won’t fit a solo, cases and plastics interfere... so who knows what else they changed.

Guess this can be the before and after muffler pic. Lol

Are they really so light?
I know that the specs are 6,3 kg, but on all picture on a scale they are heavier

This is the lightest American market pic I have from Neal Murphy:

And this is the lightest 70cc saw we have on record(13.5lbs). Mine is slightly lighter for some reason(by about 3 ounces). But I've since added larger spikes and a large clutch cover to mine.

OK, now I know why mine was lighter. I gutted the muffler and added two exit holes before I added the DP front part.
She's just shy of 14 lbs now and is set up like this most the time(Factory DP, timing advance - bone stock otherwise).

Well, I say factory, but it's a rather generous hole in the first 'p':

Yes, shes freakin loud.

The 046 I had here to sharpen the chain on was a early one with a dp cover. It was quite obnoxious. Whole lotta noise and not a lot of go imho. I could fix that lol... but not my saw.

BTW, the Dolmar 7900 is the main reason I started the chainsaw weight gallery. One day @sawfun and I were chillin in Yamhill, Oregon, sat in front of a fat Douglas Fir log with a 372, an 046, a 7900, and his old 044. We were about to test them side by side(and we were both impressed by all of them). I then said to him, no freakin way that 7900 weighs a pound less than my 046. They felt nearly identical in weight. But everyone on the AS forums was saying it weighed 13.6 lbs. I shut them up about that in short order.

Still... a 80cc saw that weighs the same as a smaller 76cc saw. They totally outperform the 046, especially stock. Modded... a 046/460/461 are mean and close to a 7900. I just like the dolkita spring av better and the filter stays clean longer.

Don't get to carried away there sir...

 

[andyshine77]

Early on Dolmar admitted they're weighing the 7900 without the clutch cover and outer dog. The early 7900's were just a bit lighter, but I doubt 13.6

 

[00wyk]

Don't get to carried away there sir...

Yup. Because that day the early model 046 I had felt like it pulled stronger than the 7900 though the cut times were similar...

Been there myself, power delivery, smoothess and sound can be deceiving.

You guys are more than welcome to start a stihl thread on the 046 and keep that there. This is a dolmar thread, not a weigh your stihl thread. I’m not saying the 046 is a turd or a bad saw. I actually think there nice and like them.

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow!!!
RELAX. Its all good.

I think it would be a good idea to start a 1128 thread. There isn’t one.

 

[RI Chevy]

Don't need one. It's already a legend saw...
Guys are only replying to what you posted. You have to allow that.

Ah c'mon now. We're all friends here. As a friendship token I'll offer up another Dolmar pic:
