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

Yesterday's delivery finally brought this one home to me. The second blue one I've ever had. The top end is currently not on it. I bought it knowing but it came with a cylinder from what I assumed was a 7301. Upon further inspection the cylinder appears to be off of a concrete saw....what are the differences between the saw and concrete saw cylinder. All I can see at a glance is the spark plug hole is slightly different.

Good upsell, i've ordered that too.

Why do you say it’s from a concrete saw? Dust? A pic would be helpful.

If it's a concrete cylinder it won't have the side handle mount either which will be an issue

View attachment 6435 Dolmar, who likey them Dolmars?

I have one of these PS-9000's, among three others. I just installed a decomp. valve. This saw is a real beast!

Do you know what year it is? Mines a 9000 but different in that the Dolmar plate is riveted as is the build plate (1992 for mine).

9000 has a plate with serial
9010 has a decal on the back handle

Hmmm maybe its no the switch, started it cold this morning, ran for about 2 minutes, without touching the switch it stopped and wouldnt restart

Did you ever figure out what the problem is why it keeps dying?

 

[Hulsty]

Got parts in the way see if they fix it, switch and wire probably have them in a few weeks

Covered in concrete dust, spark plug location was a little different then a chainsaw and the biggest clue was it still had the huge concrete saw muffler attached to it.
