Magnum, I believe I have read that you have quite a few Dolmars, including a 6400. How does this saw compare to the 6400?

I have a couple 7900's they are obviously more powerful than the 6800.

The 6400 has very generous open porting and they run pretty good. I believe that the 6400/7900 is a little heavier than the 6000/6800.

The porting in the 6800 is with the lower transfers (a square window) in the lower cylinder sidewall with a windowed piston. The 116Si/120Si Dolmars are almost identical to the 6000i/6800i except for the chain cover.

I don't think there are much doubt that those are pretty much the same saws!  ;D

Yes, The 6800 has a EPA inertia brake design instead of one just activated by the handle.

The old 116Si / 120Si & 6000i / 6800i certainly are likable chainsaws in the woods.

If you start counting up statistics of dimension, weight, balance, rpm, and power, they will not add up like a modern day chainsaw but they are still nice to use in the woods.

New factory parts are getting scarce though.

I like my Dolmar 120si , I made a video comparison against a husky 371XP, the Dolmar is no slouch   :)

This is my 6800 with Nick from the Cincinnati area running it at a GTG. It warmed up in the second cut.

......

I fail to see the connection between the chain brake and the EPA, sounds more like ANSI related?  ???

You're probably right for it is not emissions related but a safety matter?

Government bureaucrats anyway!
