Sachs Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

I posted this saw in the general forum but thought
i belonged here as well.
I picked up this Dolmar CT from a fellow member.
It needed only a good cleaning and a minor carb
adjustment. Runs nice and pulls like a frieght train.

Another old classic Lee, great old solid magnesium brute force saw.

I've been meaning to ask.......................what are those lines that run to/from the starter for? Seen them on old S/D saws as well as a couple other Euro saws from the same era.

They are the oiler lines, the oil pump is in the recoil.

Thanks Jerry. I take it the oil pump is driven by some sort of extension shaft on the end of the crank..opcorn:

You are correct.

Nice score on the CT and of course the Homelite 2100 Lee. Those CT's have really nice lines, and I hope to someday find one.

Well done,

Chris.

All that I am waiting for is the base gasket for my 114 and I will have it running it again.

You can always make a base gasket for yours. I make
them all the time.

Lee

yeah you could make a gasket or you could go without a gasket

Say, Jerry.....any idea if the Makita 520i I have would have enough squish room to run without a gasket? Or, would I have to modify the port/s? I'm still reading about all that and not real clear on it.

And, would anyone know the factory carb settings on the 520i (= 111i)?

from my reading here on AS you can safely run a saw with as little as 0.020" of squish. you need to measure your squish before you can determine whether to run without a gasket or not. running without a gasket shouldn't have that much impact on your closing and opening times/degrees; should be negligible. i'm not an expert on this but i did sleep in a holiday inn express one time. anyone else got thoughts on this?

Factory setting was one turn out from lightly seated to start .... :msp_thumbup:

Yeah, I'd read about needing to find the squish. Wasn't aware of the minimum .020", though......thanks. I was hoping somebody might already know how much squish there is seeing as the 111, atleast, was fairly common to AS folks. No matter.

Thanks for the carb info, Warped5.

because of manufacturing differences the squish is gonna be different for every saw you ever pick up so the squish for joe sh!ts 111 is gonna be different than joe schmucks 111. best to measure your own; especially before taking saw apart.

The base gasket for my 114 was in the mail today and I just got done taking it for a test cut.:msp_thumbup: It is starting and running like new again. I will post some pics when I get my new phone. The camera crapped out in the one that I have now.

Duly noted! Thanks again, Jerry.
