Re: Sachs Dolmar KMS-4

Very Very nice KMS4, looks awesome.
Haven't seen such a good one for ages!
And the story behind, I would say it is somehow "great" but also
a quite moving, tough stuff and also kind of sad!
But the "happy end" would be if you keep it in your collection
till you are in your eighties as well,
always remembering that guy when telling someone the story of
your "Wankel"!
The prices exploded here in Europe, about 1300 Dollar is already
a common price for a crappy one.
The "problem" is that nowadays everybody wants it. Technically
it is one of the worst Dolmar the brand has ever released,
and as "mitigating circumstances" it was actually Fichtel&Sachs
that wanted that saw to be produced, being totally in the rotary
concept at that time and just having bought Dolmar in 1975. It
was also built by Fichtel&Sachs in Schweinfurt, not by the
Dolmar main quarters in Hamburg!
So, two big pieces of history unified in one saw now sitting on
your shelf 8)
Thanks for such a great thread!

What was the years made on these? Noticed they had already
started pushing 50:1 mix in the ad.

Wow.
The 166 price has risen in the same way. Six years ago, 350-550
was the norm. Now 1400 isn't uncommon. I did pay a fair price
for this one but not ebay extortion.

I'm certainly no expert on the subject, Cuttin. Production of
75 is the most common reference but have read that it lead into
76. Info is scarce and subject to to source.....

Very cool saw. Has been on my wish list for a while. At todays
prices , it will stay on wish list. I wonder what the original
purchase price was when new. Paint looks real nice too.Also
wonder how many were produced.

Hi all,
I'm new to forum. I have just purchased Dolmar KMS-4 very
similar to the on on the pics and I have a problem with it.
It runs and cuts, I believe it shows all it's power, but after a
few minutes stops working and it seems to me, like it would
overheat. After 30 minutes or so, it runs again. Any ideas what
could be wrong?

Is the saw losing spark? A common symptom of the ignition
failing can be when the saw gets warm spark is lost.
No matter the issue, be careful with her. Not to many around
anymore.
