DOLMAR/MAKITA The Official Sachs Dolmar Dolmar Makita Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

It's feels very unbalanced with the 20 i might have a source for a 32 and 36 guy thinks they were for a big dolmar i haven't looked at them yet thanks for the information.

Just buy a bar to fit a large stihl (880 etc). drill out tensioner hole and a new oiler hole. Very easy, will post a pic when I get home tonight of an arbortech bar I just did.

As for shorter bars, milling they are unreal on my logosol. 10 tooth .325 24" HAMMERS through even aussie woods.

Still the 166 will be versing 60"+ burl on the weekend, all things going well. ie I can get that darn clutch off to change the sprocket.

As for decomp, no luck finding a titan cylinder head yet to check.

Thanks my friend is giving me the bars hopefully they are useful I've been trying different decomps I'm sure ill find one eventually.I've got several peoples saws to fix first anyway i appreciate the info.

Rear holes drilled out to 8mm and new oil hole (closest to rear), using 3.5mm bit. Good for 9010,166,144,143,153 etc.

With the proper tool the clutches come right off. The tool has
two pins that fit into the square holes and a hex head on it for
a wrench or impact gun.

Thanks Lee, I've been making one. Just hoping it works.

The Dolmar tool has weak pins and brake very easily
so i drove the pins out drilled the holes a touch bigger
and used hardened allen screws with the threads cut off.
Haven't broke a pin yet and it's been used.

 

[166]

I've got a few of these.

 

[Iron.and.bark]

Pulled the cylinder off the 166 and ported the exhaust a little, left intake stock. Intake is huge compared to other saws.



Now, the clutch is still stuck despite having made a tool with very tight tolerances.



Very hard steel turned on lathe (slowly!), riveted into a plate and bolt tapped and riveted in place for undoing.

Think will have to heat it up with a propane torch, might help it come free..

They can get pretty tight as they are a threaded clutch.
You turning it top to the right? Hit it lightly with an
impact gun. It should come off.

I'll try and find the one Al made me for my 166's. I sheared the replaceable pics he had used for it.
So I went to squared hardened screwdriver shafts cut to size. Never broke another one.

Who carrys those.
Thanks dave

Here it is how Al made it with original replaceable pics I sheared off. Square hardened ones in their place now.
Also other holes make it adjustable to other saws.

JFI out of that thread link.

Dolmar 166 flywheel removal tool.

I found out that the POLY flywheel removal tool for the stihl 066 660 will work. It is the same threads as the dolmar 166 flywheel since I owned both saws.

Yes, Deffinately turning in the correct direction. It's probably just got hot milling and bonded to well.

May just swap cylinder head over to another 166 bottom end for the moment.

Thanks. will get one to try,

Honestly though my tool is very snug and will not flex / break. I guess riveting the ends over with a peen hammer doesn't look that attractive though.

Just because you guys are talking about the biggest dolmars...

How about a baby saw project?

Little makita 401, 40cc got a carb upgrade. [emoji48]

Trying to figure out a new choke mech.

Best thing is everything lines up with OEM hood!

Got a couple poleman carbs a while back and they will be getting installed soon. Already put one on a friends 7300 and what a freaking difference it makes! I hate zama's but this one ran pretty dang good!
