Good dealer.

As some of you may know I had a bit of a mishap that resulted in a crunched 346. Todays I made a trip to the dealer to order a exhaust gasket, set of circlips, piston ring, base gasket and and a few other misc parts. I was pleasantly surprised when they had everything in stock save one part and as a bonus the price wasnt too bad either.
Try that with a Dolmar..:jester: opcorn:

Forgot the carnage pics. 40'' maple log rolled of pile from 5-6 feet. Broke rear handle/tank, bent front handle, broke top cover in half, cracked clutched cover, cracked top fin of cylinder, broke spark plug and bent the throttle shaft on the carb.

Go to one of my local Steal dealers....they have a few 290's a few loops of RM/2 chain and zero parts inventory. They guy didnt even know what the new Ultra oil was and if he could order it or not....

Yes as a Dolmar dealer I have all that in stock for current models.. So your point? Wait a minute seems like when you crunched the famous PS7900 I sent you your crash parts as well with no backorders :taped:

[cuttinscott]

I second that Scott,I also know that a 40" Maple would do much more damage than that pictured above. That work bench looks offal clean. Ben, I would think that Dolmar leaked oil all over it??

Call me silly, but I dont like to tear down a motor in a dirty environment, hence the newspapers. FWIW Just built the bench, Seth. I dont know how you cant do more damage than that. the only thing salvageable is the starter cover and crank case..... Tried to salvage the front handle buy bending it back, but no joy. Had the log pile been any higher the crank cases might be toast as well.

Scott, dealers like yourself are few and far between for ANY brand and even fewer for Dolmar.
I prefer to get my parts local.
Thanks for your help and I would purchase form you in the future if Dolmar was allowed to sell saws over the net. I really mean that BTW.

Maybe i'm missing something, but the list of parts you got from your dealer weren't ones that were damaged from the tree? I'm not too suprised he would have those parts in stock. Did he have the handlebar, top cover, gas tank or clutch over?

Thats because you dont know how I am going to fix it.... Hint it involves another saw and a conversion to a XPG that I have always wanted. The end result will be two saws. One beater for company use and one for myself.
He had a gas tank and I might need it yet. not sure about the other stuff. I have my sight son a ebay tank right now. Just have to make sure it will work.

Mine did have bar nuts, but didn't have a price....so he charged me $5 for the pair!!! I paid it since the regular guy is nice and I wanted the spares.
Then again, I don't expect them to have too many parts for my saw....remember, I'm the "saw freak" with the 3120 the kid once tried to convince me had to be a 137.

Hey Ben....why aren't you having your honest chainsaw builder work on the saw, it'll only cost ya a couple of hundred buck....Hahahahaha!opcorn:

 

[bwalker]

Anyone can fix a crunched saw, Dennnis.
Ed already did port it.

 

[Gypo Logger]

Hey Ben, You say Ole Al is good at fixing junk, why don't you send your HT346 to him?
Hahahaha
