I just bought a 112 for short money seeing as I'm starting to really like these saws and this one is the limited edition silver one. I guess cad is really setting in! Lol!!
Happens a lot down here. A guy that I deal with a lot has just picked up an as new stihl 660 that the owner ran straight gas through because he had a couple of containers of fuel and just picked up the wrong one (it would have had less than 20 hours on what was 2000+ saw down here, same bloke has a 461 that the owner backed over on its second outing!!!. The Dolmar came from Tasmania where Australia biggest logging industry is and I would say that it was decommissioned by the company and sold on to someone who just got a cheap, big powerful saw. My friend came back from a trip with 52 saws including Dolmar 153, 143, 133 super, 123, 120si, 116si, 112 and the two 9000/9010 not to mention things like husky 2100's and big Stihls. All of these saws were just generally neglected saws that were commercial saws that were eventually just used as occasional use general public saws with all that entails. Carb settings on the one in the video were pretty good and it does no appear to be leaking air anywhere - will give it a better run today to check all is well.
I started out liking Dolmars, but I have found that Stihl guys in particular, once they start having a look at the Dolly's tend to get hooked. 112/114 is a really good little saw (which is not that little for a 50cc class saw!!). Its very well made and with a high quality closed port cylinder and tillosten carb is a true pro grade saw with metal everything except the starter. One of those saws that runs bigger than its capacity suggests it should.I don't know,.... I won't let anyone gas my saws and my gas only comes out of one can I mix myself, nuff said
Very cool! I can't wait to get it. When I re did that Dolmar for my friend I was just amazed when I put it in the wood!
There are some fantastic places to visit in Australia Mark for sure. Tassie is interesting for saw enthusiasts as there are still so many big old saws hanging around. Same trip described above netted 3xSP125's which is unheard of down here were a 125 does not come along very often. Because its an Island you cant just go for a drive to grab stuff and people have not been bothered to develop the connections down there. Still a lot of good saws to be discovered I think.
They are all like that, not the chain speed of modern saws but great functional torque. Its why the 116si and 120si are so good. The 116 thinks its a 68cc saw and the 120 a 72, and the harder the wood the more they seem to shine.Very cool! I can't wait to get it. When I read did that Dolmar for my friend I was just amazed when I put it in the wood!
Found it from a dealer I went to buy a chain for my cc 116 ; but it's only because he was in good mood ... Usually he don't want to listen everything and this day was the good . And this why I go there when I have no choice
It is that!
I just got my first Sachs Dolmar 120 and don't know a lot about them. Just starting to learn over the past 3-4 months.
