Had this come in for a get running/service. Can someone please tell me the basic specs/parts available etc...

You've got a PS-341 there, 33 ccm displacement, bore is 37 mm and stroke 31 mm. It has 1,4 kW output (approx. 1.9 DIN PS).
There were numerous models with slightly different features but all featuring the same engine:
PS-33, PS-330, PS-340, PS-341 as well as Makita DCS 330, DCS 340, DCS 341 (same as Dolmar but in teal and Makita branded). The family has the internal model-designation 021.
The engine has a solid magnesium cast crank-case and the entire saw is very light-weight.

There also was a model line 028, same saw but 39 ccm displacement and 1,9 kW output.
These were sold as PS-39, PS-380, PS-390, PS-400, PS-401, PS-410 and PS-411 or Makita DCS 390, DCS 400 and DCS 401.

The good news: Next to all spares are still available for these saws.

Interesting saw, one bolt on the clutch cover, is this
common on any other dolmar makita models.

It is a "small saw" feature.

Thats a beauty, is it the old non muffled muffler model, or is it an unnaturally aspirated version.

@SOS Ridgerider I think has one of those

I have a PS-400 or 401, can’t remember. Similar saw to that one. It’s been apart for a little while now. Lol. Needs a new piston, which I have.

There a lovely compact light weight solid saw

I agree. Was surprised when I got it. An arborist friend of mine gave it to me. It was his father in laws saw, and needed a piston. It’s small, lightweight and nimble. I really like it.

I have had a dozen or so over the last years, most of them sold, still have a PS-390 which is one of my main work saws, another PS-390 next to mint and one NIB. Then there is a PS-342 (that's the one with the Tillotson injection carb) which is ported and real little beast: With its 33 ccm it never goes below 9000 rpm in cut with a 30 cm bar full length in dry oak and Stihl picco super chain.
Another PS-342 is currently on my bench and maybe I'll port my work-390 soon.

I have a DCS341 and DCS401 in teal color. Very handy and reliable.

I'd like to have one of them teal babies too, but that's extremely low priority.
Much more I'm after a DCS 5200i aka 115i in Makita disguise...
And even that is at very low priority.

Hay guys/gals/other thanks for all the info on the saws! I’ve been a long time fan of dolmar! My grandfather had two large sachs when I was growing up. We also had a few dolmar cut off saws. My dad and I have a timber king sawmill and cut 25+ cords of firewood a year. He was a jonhshred fan until he bought som 036 pros and now he’s been a stihl fan. He’s got 4-5 236. They are ok but I liked my 266xp better, way easier to start for my bad shoulders, and my father in law gave them to me. He was a logger and didn’t like them. Some Dbag stole them this spring. I’ve been using a clapped 026, until I figure out what I was going to do. My wife over heard me talking to my brother in law(logger) about getting a ea5000 or ea6000. She grabbed me a ea5600 as a surprise thinking it would be splitting the difference lol. I’m pretty impressed with it but know I’ll want the complete pro saw. Super bummed about makita giving the line the axe! Would you pick up the 5000 or 6000 if you could only have one?im looking used too but not finding squat. Thanks V

If you only had one saw i would stick in the 60cc class. Good power without being too heavy.

Kinda what I was thinking. This ea5600 is a pocket rocket but it bogs down quick.
