If your Dolmar Saw engine doesn't start easily, there could be a problem with the fuel supply, compression, or a mechanical issue. You should check the ignition system, fuel supply, and compression system.
Why does my Dolmar Saw have insufficient power?
If your Dolmar Saw lacks power, several factors could be responsible. A dirty air filter, incorrect carburetor adjustment, a clogged muffler, a blocked exhaust channel in the cylinder, or a clogged spark arrestor screen could be the cause. To resolve this, try cleaning or replacing the air filter, adjusting the carburetor, and inspecting the muffler and exhaust channel.
What to do if there is no chain lubrication in Dolmar Saw?
If your Dolmar Saw chain isn't getting lubrication, the oil tank might be empty, the oil guide groove could be dirty, or the oil pump adjusting screw may be incorrectly adjusted. Refill the oil tank, clean the oil guide groove, and adjust the oil pump to resolve this.
What to do if Dolmar Saw engine starts, but dies immediately?
If your Dolmar Saw engine starts but immediately dies, the idling adjustment might be wrong, or the suction head or carburetor could be dirty. Adjust the idling and clean the suction head and carburetor.
