DOLMAR 6100 OR 7910?

Inside the 6100 http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/dolmar/dolmar-6100/

 

I'd sure like to run a 6100, might want to get one.

 

I got to many 60cc to 65cc saws. But have always wanted to run a stock 6100 to see. I was offered by the dealer to let me run his stock and ported one but never made the hour trip.

 

If was in the market for a do-all saw, the 6100 would be on my short list.
1 tank of fuel = 1 load of wood..

 

One of the other dealers in the thread said he was getting about 45mins to a tank. = You get a pretty solid 45 minute run time on a tank of fuel! Even when brushing etc with pretty much constant throttle.

 

The 6100 has a rather large tank for a 60cc saw too. I want to try one myself. I like the regular carb being available too.

 

damm straight.. If a man played his cards right, that could equate to a cord of wood, or half a load of pulp wood..

 

When the SD 120si/6800i and Husky 262XP were current saws, some guys out west were running 28" and 32" K095 bars on them for limbing and 'bumping knots' while walking the log. Was for reach..............not so that they could be making 32"+ felling and bucking cuts with 'em.

Those saws were more than strong enough for the task at hand (remember that the majority of those limbs/knots are 8-10" or less in diameter), and those powerheads were a good 3-5 pounds less than the bigger falling and bucking saws. That's what those longer K095 bars were made for...

 

Come on up buddy. I got a couple. Lol

 

If I ever left this state I would take some of you guys up on your offer to run some saws that otherwise I would never own or see!

He went to buy a new 6100.


In Detroit.



Get well soon MICHIGANSAWER...

 

I'm generally stopping for water before my Dolly runs dry. Very serious endurance- the saw that is. Hard to miss that.

About the chain, at times I've noticed that it runs better with a 24" than the OEM 20". (Talking only sharp chains, natchully.) Sometimes the 20" has to be dogged in to load the engine properly, the 24" less so.) When I gave it a compression-test last summer, gauge read 215 psi; seems that partly explains things. I'm reluctant to run at part-throttle.

Bud I work with regularly says she has an attitude. Wouldn't have it any other way. Lots to be said for stock sweetheart bad-azz saws.

 

From mjy (admittedly limited) experience, better have some room on yer credit card, before you try one. You will find that you need one. You'll also want a "double-D" tool for adjusting H mixture. The other adjusters are simple slotted.

When you look at the price tag, you might be tempted to go for a second one. A 5105 or 421 might work better for you.

You'll also want to keep some Wheaties on the shelf for early morning mid-winter starts.

 

So do those go in with the fuel mix?

 

In with your fuel mix.

 

Note the 215 psi compression reading. Serious stuff. You had better be fueled and ready for business first thing on a frosty morning. Super-cold starts are doable, and IMO just another way processing fuelwood warms you. Don't even think about drop-starting it then, wouldn't be pretty. Once warmed up, drop-starting works fine if you show suitable respect.
