Here you go David. Some slight differences.

Calm your tits! It'll still be tomorrow later today. After work. Lol

Here’s another fun one. Red tops are less common than black tops, at least for me,, so I had the opportunity to make one. This started its life as a Makita EA7301, heated handle. I had an NOS 7900 top end, and @Wilhelm sent me some new red covers for it. Now it’s a heated handle 7900 red...

I remember that saw. Lol I didn't do any port work to it. I have the equipment to do it, but I don't know my ass from my elbow with port work yet, so maybe later. Gutting the muffler, and adding an outlet, will be the first I need to do. I'll need some more advice before the Foredom hits the...

You're correct. There were two Solo 665's that got Dolmar top ends. One got a 7300 top end, and the other a 7900. The SOLO top end, that came off one of those saws, you machined the base on to fit on a 6400 Dolmar. I remember the piston issues as well, and I think David is correct. The Dolmar...

I would expect nothing less! 🤣

From what I recall, the pistons are almost the same, except for the slight height difference. Wait a minute... I feel like I have it backwards, and that the Dolmar piston is taller, which would make a lot more sense why I did it this way. Less would have to be taken off the base that way, which...

Let's keep politics out of here.

I like it! I knew there were pics out there! Lol I'll post some more tonight, after work.

Let's see some more pics of these saws! Come on guys, I know you have them!

This thread needs a bump. Been months since the last post, and these saws are too good, and too much fun, to let this thread die. Here’s a 6400 with a closed port Solo 665 top end, so it’s now a 64cc closed port. The 6400 piston is still used, as the height from pin to top of piston is slightly...

We had 105 degrees here yesterday. I don't think I can remember another time it's been this hot, in the 16 years I've lived here. Providence, RI, set a heat record yesterday, for hottest day on record. Previous record was 98 degrees, and they had 100 yesterday.

Yes, they have been in some trouble in the later years, but seem to have stabilized now. I would often drive the southern route, which started in Porsgrunn and ended around the Lyngdal area, and covered the whole south up to about around Evje. I have been all over that area. Lot's of other...
