Wow, I'm impressed, was fully expecting you to say in the 90s, or even over 100.

So what makes this hybrid so unique? Does it change crank capacity?

I finally felt well enough to make a video of one of these old Solos. That said......I had to send Dave's 064 back untested. I couldn't start it. :(

This is two of only three cuts this saw has made. Seems pretty sporty.

Sha-Zammmm!!!!!!! er uhhhhhmmmm Yeah! Sporty to say the least!!!!!

Not like you might think. Of course it will be larger than it was as a 665, but barely more than a 7910.

The 7910 jug just works better on this chassis than the 681 jug....at least for me.

That's your saw there in the video Rick.......and it's on it's way to Texas.

Now......to make the unlimited saws as stout.

I've not checked the compression........my gauge says everything is blowing about 200psi. I don't trust it much these days.

I'll share my theory. Remember......it's just a idea of mine.

From the squish band down to the roof on the exhaust port is about 25mm. I see this a lot in really strong saws.

If you set this saw up at 102° or so it's way lower than that. So, I started thinking that the "power stroke" was actually too long in this case. So......I started at 98° then 97°......then 96°. I also raised the transfers as I went up. Now.....the intake floor is at 81°. That's a little too low on many saws.......but this saw has a really tight case. So......with a 81° intake, I felt like I could take all the other numbers higher to match it. Does this make any sense?
