Dolmar Sachs 120si restoring - Picture story
By: m_marc Date: January 28, 2019, 8:24 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys,
I'm new of this forum, I'm Italian and I live in Nothern Itay
near Switzerland.
I want to present you my recent project.
This autumn I decided to clean the toolshed at my granparents'
house and in the middle of junk and sundries I found this:
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
It's a 1989 Dolmar Sachs 120si in bad condition (subsequently
become 6800, if I'm right).
I immediately decided that it could not stay in those conditions
anymore and that I would have taken some time to fix it.
I did not have much time at home so far but now it's time to
start, so I decide to start this post to tell you about the
restoration live.
I want to start with some information that I collect: my grandad
buy this chainsaw used from a friend in 1991 (the production
year could be 1988-1989) and use it for several years.
Over the years it has stopped using it because of age, in favor
of lighter chainsaw for the only small jobs he do in the
woodshed.
It is in toolshed unused probably by 8-9 years.
I had not found the bar when I discovered the chainsaw but now I
can tell you that a week later (when I had ended clearing up the
closet) it had jumped out and it is in acceptable condition.
Now some technical data:

Those are great strong running saws. Worth the time to
restore. Congratulations on your saw.

Thank you all for the encouragement.
I'm sure it is a chainsaw that is worth bringing back into
operation.
I had already found the same Part List at another link:
HTML http://www.barrettsmallengine.com/partslist/dolmarpartslist995700054.pdf
In these days the works begin, I'll try to keep you updated.
The first problem I have already seen (as you can see in the
pics) it's that there isn't the hand guard anymore.
I hope that other parts of the lever and the brake are ok but I
doubt it.

In your quest for the brake parts the 116Si is the exact same
saw except for the piston and cylinder.
Many parts for the 6000/6800 are the same except the brakes are
different. In fact the brake mechanism is about the only thing
different between the two series.
I you put a Meteor piston in it, you will find that the skirt is
short about .25 mm. However, mine seems to run fine with the
free porting piston.
The regular 120 Dolmar is a different saw family.
I really like my 6800iH with a 24" bar. W8YE

Let's start!!
This morning I started to disassemble the chainsaw.
My doubts were concrete, the hand gaurd there is not and
unfortunately for me all the parts of the brake mechanism are
missing, I have only the naked cover.
The engine has a good compression, the pull start works properly
(I have to replace the cord) and there is a good spark.
Obviously I did not try to turn on the engine but this things
that make me quiet confident.
Cleaning condition are awful, there is a solid mix of oil and
sawdust encrusted in every hidden part.
Air filter is in pretty good condition, was well mounted, it is
not damaged and it hasn't holes or ruptures, this is good for
the health of the engine.
I separated engine from tank assemble and I have started to
clean them, the rubber silent blocks are good.
Also the fly wheel is good and there is not vanes broken. Fuel
hoses to the carburetor are old and stiff and brokes trying to
bend it, tank was absolutely dry.
Cylinder and muffler are encrusted, muffler have some rusty
points.
[attachimg=1]
From this view don't seem so bad
[attachimg=2]
From this it's worse
[attachimg=3]
Removing flywheel
[attachimg=4]
Tank collect years of sawdust and oil...
[attachimg=5]
For the first coarse cleaning I use kerosene. It melts sludge
and oil very well but leave on the parts a greasy layer.
The second run of fine cleaning it's performed by Arexons
Fulcron which is concentrated grease remover.
[attachimg=6]
This is the chain side cover and... I did not remove any other
parts, every parts of the brake mechanism it's missing.
This afternoon I visited my trusted chainsaw shop for buy
gaskets and carburetor's membranes; he still had in warehouse a
complete kit for Tillotson HS-236 but I did not find a cylinder
gasket (no problem, I'll make one with the old ones as a
template and gasket's sheet).
For the brake assemble there aren't spare parts available and,
as you rightly said, the actual 6800 differs precisely for the
brake.
I talked also with the mechanic at the shop, who is old family
friend (he has been working there for at least 30 years) and he
told me that he will looking for. They have a warehouse of used
items and parts, he is sure that there are something about
Dolmar Sachs but he do not remember what. Finger crossed!!
In the next days I will continue the work.
