Sachs Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

[ARsawMechanic]

I'm all for this thread!! I have been reading through, I never knew Dolmar made anything for Mcculloch, or Poulan. Very interesting reading. I have a question, though. When I was a young sprout working for the local Sachs dealer, he dropped them when it became a part of Makita. He claimed the quality went into the toilet, & the price went up. One thing in particular he said was that they went from a chrome impregnated cylinder to a chrome plated cylinder. Is there a difference, & is/ was this true? I have always wondered.

Is 12hp correct? That is more than my snowblower

No it is not, that is a SAE rating I think, It's not that high, in the real world.

It was rated at 5.9kW which is around 8.x bHP

The 166 was introduced in 1982
and is 118cc's. Not sure when Mcculloch
signed on with Sachs Dolmar to intoduce
mccullochs SP118.

I'd say around '87 or so. Dolmar sold six different model chainsaws to McCulloch. Dolmar got McC String Trimmers in return!

Here is a link about the Yellow Dolmars.

Looks good in the new basement too Joe.
It starts and idles well but I need to find one more "brake spring" for the starter 113 166 081, and a couple of o-rings for the manual oiler.

I need one of those little springs that operate the starter pawls

Mark,

I think that spring can be found on the CC/CT Dolmar models as well, maybe a different size but I think they are the same. You could eventually make one yourself but give me a holler if you don't find them locally.

Thanks Roland, I will see what I can come up with on this side first.

Attached in .pdf format is the Australian brochure with the McCulloch/Dolmar saws listed.

Got my 133 out today. We filled my brothers wagon and my ole Dodge.

He is going to send me a few pics of the load since i forgot to take some myself.



Once split and stacked he will get well over a cord!

Whats the plastic for?

Brother is an Engineer,,,,,,,,,,

You know, anal, guess he doesn't want any to rattle out.

Grandfather was a putz too, so I understand. Why be done in 30 minutes when it can take 45?

 

[heimannm]

I finished putting this one together last night, everything seems to work O.K. I found a light spring that was about the right size and shape so I went to work and made the additional "brake spring" for the starter and found a couple of smaller o-rings that I could strech around the manual oiler.

This is the 32" bar and chain that came with the saw.

I hope to put it in some wood this weekend at the Iowa GTG, anyone who is able to attend will be welcome to run it as well assuming it works.

Thanks for posting this find Ron, it may help a lot of fellows out in the future.
On another note, I change a lot of coils out myself. The ones that can be slipped off their laminated frames can be mounted back on the saw you are needing a coil for. It is just a matter of slipping the coil from another frame and slipping it back on the laminated frame of the saw you are working on.
There is likely a small portion of a lamination at either corner that is bent over to keep the coil in place, this needs to be lifted up and somewhat straightened to allow the coil to be removed. Once reinstalled then bend the tabs back down to retain the coil. It may take some looking around to find a donor coil and sometimes a little grinding of a case is necessary to accomodate a portion of the new coil but I have done a good many swaps in my time and they work just fine.

Bing carburetor help?

One of my Sachs Dolmars is a White & Black 112. It is using a Bing carburetor, & I am not having much luck finding a carb kit for it. I haven't pulled the carb yet to get the numbers, but most of what I find online is about motorcycle carbs. I called the local Dolmar dealer, I might as well have gone to Wal Mart to try to buy a Stihl. He had never heard of a "Sachs" Dolmar. Nuff said. :bang: Anybody have any info on these?

The Bing carbs were used oin a variety of chainsaws, they are harder to find kits for but they can still be found. I will let others closer to you geographically point out places to get the kits. I change out these Bing carbs to Tillotson carb models as most of the saws made have run Tillotson carbs.
The Tillotson HK-21A,B or C will be a direct fit for the 112.

Thank you! Were there many problems with the bing? It seems to work fine for awhile, then acts like its too rich. Shut it off awhile, it goes good awhile, then repeats process. My other 112 has a tillotson, it just goes & goes.

All carbs go bad after many years of being in gasoline, especially now that there is ethanol in the gas at most pumps. The Bing was no worse than other makes of carbs, it is just getting too hard to find kits for them, I can easily get kits for Tillotson.
