Chainsaw Repair

Well guys this ended up wash imho. The wood was to inconsistent.  Started off  hard and knotty and would get smaller as cuts went and wood would get softer. Ran out of 1st log so started on 2nd log and it was rock hard with swirls in heart wood and got smaller and softer too.

Also the saw that impressed me the most except for it's weight was the like new Dolmar 6000i. 

I will post saws as ran in order and you will see what I mean.

362xp  9.78  11.18 - (knot) wood  size started 16" tall x 18" wide

365 SP 9.52  9.69

415   8.44   8.78  wood seemed softer and getting smaller

4000  9.90  10.09  wood seemed lot softer

6000i  8.47  7.53  wood was a lot softer and measured 15.5" tall x 16.5" wide wood seemed to have a punky outer ring

357 8.25 7.59  same as above

PP365  9.25  9.37  " " "

3500  9.25  9.28   " " "

Ran out of log went to 2nd log, This log was rock hard and swirled hear wood. Then fell off quick to very soft smaller wood

3750 15.94  18.09 - (knot city)  rock hard 16.25" tall x 17.5" wide

036  11.53  10.85  seemed super hard

6000  12.03   11.60

365 SP 9.68   8.50  noticed wood fell off big time super soft

357   8's 7's wood was ridiculously soft now and quit


To me the 415, 6000i, 365 SP  saws were the torque saws.

Was a little frustrating not being able to do a fair comparison with all saws in consistent wood.

Still had fun and talking chainsaws. Also learned about the Dolmar i series saws. Never knew they didnt have a choke type butterfly. Was neat to check all of that out.

Sorry guys I tried but the wood was just inconsistent to call a winner.





 

I dont think I have ran your 120si?  68cc isnt it?

When I ran a 562 It didn't fell like a runner.  A watch could tell a differant tale though.  It could be because there so quiet and smooth that it didn't feel fast.  Absolutely no vibration at all, very smooth.

I had to grab some pics of the 6000i after putting it through it's cuts yesterday.
