Dolmar 5105 Snellerized Style

I wasn't able to get to it this weekend.

I was to lazy to gut the 5105 like I did my 7310, not the same I know, so I instead just put a muffler from a 5100 on it. Just weighing the two side by side was an amazing difference.

Are new 5105's delivered with accessible carb adjustment screws? I had read some older AS threads where the mixture adjustment screws were buried in epoxy, and was wondering if this was still the case.

thanks

Can anyone answer this question?

From everything I have read the epoxy was only for a short time. All new 5105 I have looked at did not have epoxy.

 

[blsnelling]

That is correct. No epoxy on this one.

It looks like they have limiter caps on them. can pry them off pretty easy.

Interesting can you share a photo? Most thatI see have a double D adjustment for the high.

No. They're custom made. Contact member @fordf150 .

 

[wizz80]

OK thanks for that

I picked up a few 5105's and the parts saw I got with, had the outer spike on the clutch cover. So it must have been an optional part.

 

[wizz80]

Would be nice if it was an option

 

[wizz80]

Just found a parts diagram and it looks like you can get the outer spikes as an option from dolmar

These are the factory spike bars factory on all PS-5105's imported to the USA.

Original 5105's had plastic carb limiters, then went to the epoxied carbs for a few months, then onto the DD Carb adjustments.

Here's the back half after uncramping it and splitting the halves.

Could you tell me please what tools did you used for uncramping the muffler?

I used an old wood chisel (that I didn't care if it got damaged) a few different sized screw drivers and pliers. 1st try to find a spot that looks easiest to start to get a screw driver or chisel under the flap and when you get it opened up a little work in both directions. Once it is pried open a little you can then get a grip with pliers and open the crimp enough to take the muff apart.

Thank you! I was curious about it, because I saw just the method of cutting the muffler in 2 pieces.
I have a friend and he has the Makita 5125/Dolmar 5105 and wants to do a muffler mod to it.
