dolmar PS-421 mods

[redoakneck]

I have had the 420 for 3 years, let my buddy use it and keep it at his house all the time. This buddy of mine is hard on equipment, no foolin around, and that saw still runs great!!! He has a pile of dead poulans.

Do you have any pics of these screw drivers or is there other names for them? I just looked on ebay and could not find any d or dd screw drivers.

I'm late, but here you go. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQADGUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The epoxy can be removed, I did so on my 421. With the carb removed from the saw, I used a small cutting disk to cut through the metal housing around the needles. I than carfully spread the housing apart and removed it. The epoxy will breakup pretty easily.

I started removing the epoxy with a pick and butanetorch to hear it up and make it soft. Which worked ok but after rich did a 5105 with cut off wheel I tried that and have done 4 in the last week that way. Much faster and easier

5105 carb instead of the 421 but the problem and solution to it. 421 carb is even easier to do since it is only the high side epoxied.

Late to the 421 party, some great info on this thread.

I have a Makita EA4300 on order and wondering if there are still any Euro mufflers around anywhere for this saw? Above link shows no longer available.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ... your instructions look good. not too eager to mess with it while under warranty without a backup muffler.

Just an FYI. Was using my 421 last weekend and she started acting like it was running out of fuel, even though I just refueled, well we know the fuel lines can slip off, sure enough the line was setting at the bottom of the tank. I grabbed two green O-rings and I was back to cutting in under 5 minutes. I do wonder how long the rings will last in fuel?

If they were the same green o ring I use they will last a couple years easy. They have been on my personal saw for 4 or 5 years now.

Not sure what they are made of but the o rings I use are for air conditioning lines

Could you please tell me the Model number on that bar? i don't see a 16" .325 Oregon bar that has the oiler holes that fit the Dolmar 421.
Thanks in advance.
