If your Dolmar Chainsaw engine is not starting, or only starting with difficulty, there could be several potential causes. These include a malfunction in the fuel supply, compression, or mechanical systems. Other possible issues are the STOP switch being on, a fault or short-circuit in the wiring, a defective plug cap or spark plug, the choke being in the wrong position, a defective carburetor, a dirty suction head, a bent or interrupted fuel line, a defective cylinder base packing ring or radial shaft packings, defective cylinder or piston rings, a spark plug that doesn't seal, a broken spring in the starter, or broken parts inside the engine. Check the ignition system, fuel supply, and compression system for issues.

If your Dolmar Chainsaw is not producing enough power, the issue could stem from several causes. A dirty air filter, incorrect carburetor adjustment, a clogged muffler, or a blocked exhaust channel in the cylinder could all be responsible. To resolve this, begin by cleaning or replacing the air filter. Also, inspect the muffler and exhaust channel for any blockages. You may also need to adjust the carburetor.

If your Dolmar Chainsaw engine starts but immediately dies, it could be due to several reasons. The idling might be incorrectly adjusted, or the suction head or carburetor could be dirty. Other potential causes include a defective tank venting system, an interrupted fuel line, a defective cable, a faulty STOP switch, or a dirty starting valve. To address this, check and clean the fuel supply system and adjust the idling.
