Dolmar is now owned by Makita. I was just at an Echo Dealer who knew his saws yet knew almost nothing of the Dolmar/Makita Saws. Not sure if that is the route I want to go for my next saw. I will repair my Stihl 036 when I find a Donor saw, but will probably buy an Echo 051 with five year warranty.
NO, Apparently they are still German made and have the distinction of every saw being made my one individual. Good or Bad? Maybe you get the saw made by the new guy or the old guy with bad eyesight. Just sayin.
I just wrecked my Stihl 036 that I also got twenty or so years ago. I am told, I cannot replace that saw! It is what put Stihl on the map, I am told. Good saw, except it always sat in a puddle of chain oil. The new stuff? Apparently junk by comparison.
You last picture of the 115 extra literature says injection type carb for easy starting.
That is earmark for the "i" saws.
But odd they list the extra at 2.6kw and the 115i at 2.7
Do you know if current Makita/Dolmar saws are made in Germany?
I just learned there is a "chainsaw" forum here. Can someone move this thread to chainsaws?
