New to site. Have Dolmar 5100 question?

[SawTroll]

I kind of figured the XP oil would be ok. Saw Troll what do you mean by hardly
?? not sure what you mean, ?

That it is not likely that the actual cc of the saw changed!

OK,this has me nervouse !!
the insert for the intake..
i have two new PS510's , looks like excact same intake,no steel "O" ring insert.i dont have them here now to check dates..could be old stock.
should this part be in a PS510 also ??
if there was failure what would happen to the saw ?
burn piston on the intake side ? or ouput side ? or just sieze up ??

Witchy (SawWitch) is my wife, that recently died.....


From the informal tests I have done, .325 is faster and smoother, both being Oregon LP, but not by much.

The .325 and 3/8" chain that Dolmar offer also are Oregon, but total POS designs. :censored:

I'm sorry Saw Troll for your loss, my condolences to you and your family.

With the 5100 should I stick with a .050 bar groove or go to .058? if I decided to go 3/8's pitch ?
I totally agree with the stock dolmar chain P.O.S!!

If you have other saws I would stay with what your already runnning, I have .050 3/8 for all my saws so I can exchnage between them all.

Use the gauge that is most common in your area, which one doen't matter.
