Mastermind Meets The Dolmar PS-6100

[funky sawman]

dont let the epa see that tool, they might put it in the same class as belt fed full automatic firearms

Randy, I have one question and maybe you have the tools to check it.
The air inlet under the air filter cover is a tiny opening coming from the flywheel.
Is the flywheel able to over pressurize the air filter compartment? Or is the intake on the flywheel side only able to reject debris.

Definately not pretty - but that isn't what really counts anyway!

On the heavy side for a 60cc saw, and an inboard clutch, aren't good signs regarding the handling though.


It just is pretty hard to be exited over that creation.....

When this saw first hit the shelves I pointed out at the 'other site' Dolmar has been known to use the same basic 'chassis' for saws of different dispacement. (6400/7300/7900)

That 6100 has plenty of stroke to get it to the 75cc range.

I don't think it would be a bit "porky" at 75ccs eh?

Good work and pics as always there Randy.

I'm not sure, and honestly haven't given it too much thought. It does seem to have the ability to keep the air filter nice and clean, but I can't say if over-pressurization was on the minds of the designers.

 

[Treespotter]

Probably not.

Why not? Would be a rather simple way to increase air speed to eliminate even more "dirt".

Video is uploading. Port work was good for about a 25% increase.

 

[7sleeper]

Why does this uploading take so long....

Very nice!!!

You intend to do a little more majic?

I just ran a ported 562XP with the same chain......it was less than a second faster. That's not bad considering that this is my first attempt with the Dolly.

In my opinion that's saying something considering its a little over 500.00 saw

Randy I have a feeling you are going to get ambushed with 6100's now!!

Tell me about the felt torque in the cut compared? Pushing etc

One has to wonder know, where is the Autotune majic? You know, adjusting the settings during the cut... Kind of reminds one of the test video of 166 of the untuned saws(although the 6100 was brand new)....

Thanks for the honest update!

edit: why is your bike burning?

 

[Mastermind]

The 6100 feels slower, but has a butt load of torque. I probably ended up pushing too hard on the 562 after just running the Dolly. With a lighter touch the 562 would have been faster yet.

Down on Rocky Top they make Banana flavored Corn Syrup (wood fired) You know...

 

[fordf150]

looks good. The way that runs I'm sure your going to get a second chance at one soon. When is it that you are going to start taking more work again?

 

[Mastermind]

Sometime in mid to late April.
