Dolmar 6000i
DIR By: 660magnum
Date: May 5, 2012, 8:58 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
This is my 1997 Dolmar 6000i. I bought it used from the local
dealer in April 2011. I have not done anything to it but install
the outer spike. This one has the original 20" bar and a newer
Stihl RSC chain.
It has the Tillotson carburetor with no choke but has a orifice
valve that opens with what would be the choke lever. This valve
lets the carburetor pump squirt fuel directly into the venturi.
The chainsaw will normally start cold with the choke on. You can
shut the choke off after the chainsaw starts.
This chainsaw looks a lot like the Dolmar 116/120 chainsaws
which preceded it. It was the predecessor to the Dolmar 6400.
The 6000i had a sibling in the Dolmar 6800i.
This particular one has heated handles with a toggle switch just
under the starter handle.
It is a real sweetheart to use. A little on the heavy side with
the handle heating apparatus but excellent power for a 60cc
chainsaw. This example was a one owner trade in on a new 6400
and the guy was just a casual firewood cutter. The 6000i has few
scratches or dings and leaks little bar oil.
The listed weight for the non heated version is 14.75 lbs power
head only. Bore and stroke is 46mm X 36mm and the 6800 is 49mm X
36mm. with free running rpm at 13000.

I loved running this 6000i
The heated handles switch is 2nd pic above gas cap. Heated
handles still work.

They are definitely a great saw!
The 6000 and 6800 are both very under-rated!

Mine was made in 1997 but I have the idea that the 1st owner
didn't purchase it until a couple years later.
It also sat as a consignment at the Dolmar dealer almost 2 years
before I bought it in 2010.
The dealer told me that the owner worked as a track man for the
railroad. It looked like the owner had cut a lot of railroad
cross ties with it? There were creosote stains all over it when
I bought it. It came with a couple creosoted Stihl chains one of
which I squared and gave to you.

I think you gave me that 1 chain that was all blackened. It
cleaned up when we were doing testing that day. Only 1, and
dont recall if you left it here or not.

The cutters were real short on it. I don't have it. I was
surprised how clean it was after only a few cuts. The creosote
came right off.
