how to mount degreewheel on dolmar 6400

Cool, how many cranks does it fit? I imagine you want a good fit so it is centered.

I originally made two arbors. One had a small hole for like the Stihl 026 and Husky 346 and I made one with a larger hole for the Stihl 066 or Husky 394. A few years ago I checked the arbor with the large hole on small saw, I can detect no difference on the wheel from the extra play. Its true the wheel will turn in a small egg shaped pattern but it will still read the same degree. It will still make a 360 turn, just a tiny bit egg shaped. The only thing that you will notice is when you turn the wheel you will see it move closer and farther away from your pointer. But that will only be like an 1/8 inch. I use the same arbor now for all saws. I have had it on small top handled saw- the Stihl 090's.
