Ignore the start ...thats not the point .

I wish you wouldn't do that.

It may actually be nicer in Smurf.

Yeah I agree with you the 7910 and the 9010 look good in the blue

Notice how those 420 saws have a orange top and " seem " to have the bigger spark plug and ..if my German is right..3 ps not 2.7 ps of the early ones.

Yes, the guy said 3HP.

Yeah I forgot about that red top pretty sure it was pre 2010 I used too get the non cat mufflers before they where made NLA , also the air filter has the flip clip the same as the 5105 , coil and carb is the same as the 420sc
Years gone by I had a makita dcs-4300 white top

There are 17 models in this type 35cc and 43cc with black top
And two older models with the grey top

Finally had the chance to give the 5105 a proper workout on a recently dead elm tree around 24" diameter today. The Dolly handled it no problem, even with the bar buried. This saw has more torque for sure than other 50cc machines I have tried. I think the Jonsered 2150 would have been noticeably slower. The consensus seems to be that a 50cc saw is at it's best with a 16" bar but the 5105 sure works well with a 20" and 7/32" cutters.

I could use some help with a ps9000 that I picked up at a farm sale. Tag on it said it needed something. It looked like somebody put a new blue coil on it probably from a 9010. Flywheel appears to be fairly new also. I was hoping it was a from 9010. To make a long story short, it back fires like its out of time. Is there a way to ID the Flywheel? Thanks.

you no need to worry about the start,it is not the actually point, those who haven't face this Dolmar have some looks on internet http://findchainsaw.com/

Folks, what is the deal with the "silver star" Sachs-Dolmar saws? They look like the standard ones except with a nice silver-gray color in place of the usual orange or red. I think they are some of the best looking saws of all time and would like to get a cherry one for a display model.

First post on this thread. The pride of my modest herd. Especially when I only paid $200 and it runs great.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Nice score!

I just picked up a 6401 parts saw for $80. Haven't had time to really go over it. Will need a new drive sprocket, engine cover has a hole above decompression button but it does pull over and seems to have decent compression. Have to do a thorough look over come winter. Might be blessed and it will be another runner instead of a parts saw. Wait!!! If it runs then I have to find another parts saw. Decisions, decisions.

It will have easy start and a MPI coil then !

I would say it is legit, maybe a distributor souvenir. My grandfather was in construction and had a bunch of knockoff Zippo lighters like that one with various vendor logos. Sadly, that lighter is doing more advertising for Dolmar than Makita does!
