My secondary Dolmar PS-7900 is getting a new chain & sprocket.
Husqvarna 42 chain, 84DL/24".
Going to give the abused bar that came with the saw upon purchase another try, rails are very unevenly worn though.

And this is why You have to dress the bar every now & then.
Those are metal chips from dressing just one bar side, and it is not yet level so more will come off.
Will have to check groove depth so the new loops DL's don't bottom out.

One side dressed, took a moment.
Now to the other side.

Works better than not dressing a worn bar!
I am actually surprised that the supplied file piece is still biting.
Although, YES I both flipped & turned the file already.

One 24" bar dressed.
Some of the filing chips probably ended up on the floor.



Wear gloves when dressing Your bars!
Those chips are sharp.

I'm running a little behind on my updates...the 99 has been running for a couple of days now.





This one came through yesterday, carburetor kit and a fuel line & filter.

Nice job of cleaning.
A friend brought his 2250 for me to work on this morning. For some reason, every time I see that saw, my eye starts twitching. That's one of my least favorite saws to work on.

 

[heimannm]

At this point I'll say it's not so bad...I haven't had to restring the plumbing yet...

[Gullet]

A man needs a decent 28" bar saw in his life...
Pretty stout 272xp (Driller Ported).
I gave $35/shipped for that bar, brand new in oem sleeve.
Brand new Stihl Yellow box 93dl chain, OEM dual felling spikes.




I miss my 272xp OEM full wrap handle!

 

[heimannm]

I have this Orline apart for cleaning, hoping I can make it run, I've never seen one that will actually work.



The starters and carburetors are very difficult...

what did you clean it up with looks good.

 

[farminkarman]

Trying to finish up a 3120xp that I have had in my possession for almost a year. This was a primer bulb saw. It was upgraded with a @huskihl modded carb & factory choke linkage. It also got switched to a 272 coil. @Mastermind recut the flywheel to work with the 272 coil. I machined and ported the jug. Thankfully the muffler was just an open can, so the modification was easy.

 

[farminkarman]

All done!

 

[heimannm]

I usually hit them with compressed air, wash them in a part washer with mineral spirits, compressed air again, and a final wipe down if needed.

I thought I was going to get an Orline to run but issues kept coming up.



Spark was erratic even after cleaning the points several times, a number of starter issues (the starters on these little saws are pretty delicate), flooding at first, then starving for fuel. I decided to just put it all together and enjoy looking at it for now...

@farminkarman Greg that is what I call dedication end exceptionalism to detail.
Good to see other greats pitching in for another amazing build.
610#1&#2 working flawlessly!

Replaced a wireless remote controller.

Just a little one!
Still need to add a couple of smaller mounting screws to hold the receiver module.
