I believe in sharing fair and honest information.

In this case Dolmar is claiming the damage is from the dealer's
recommendation to use Opti 2 oil at the pouch per 1 gallon ratio,
which I believes comes out to about 70:1. Dealer says cause of
failure is due to defective air filter. I used the saw for 1 gallon
of gas. Maybe that is 10 hours. I liken that to buying a new car,
driving it 1000 miles and the engine freezes. I expect a new car,
not a new engine. Do these guys really believe I'm going to every
buy Dolmar again? Simple logic -- saw is like new, cost to repair is
$200, cost of new is $400. A $200 savings to them now is going to
result in me never buying Dolmar again, probably not going back to
this dealer for anything else, and always talking poorly about this
experience. Was it worth it?


If they can prove it, they, or you, should go after the dealer. Opti 2
recommends the 1.8 oz pack per gallon. Maybe go after them?

I cannot think of a single way the air filter would cause engine failure
unless it was absent.
