SOLO Solo thread

I read somewhere Solo & Dolmar did collaborate on the 7900 series. Solo got the shaft and came out with their 6 series. Solo and Dolmars are almost identical lots of parts interchange. Big difference is 1mm stroked crank in the Solos.

I heard one of the main Dolmar engineers got his ass chapped and went to solo.
But just here say

That’s about double what I paid

That's what I was afraid of. Even though the sales are direct from a Solo subsidiary NZers are still being shafted.

Any input on the 656? Prefer hands on experience rather than “ my buddy’s friend’s cousin’s uncle didn’t like his.” Thanks.

Hi,

AL-KO, a German company of something like 80 or so years, bought Solo in 2014.

ALKO only bought the chainsaw-business from Solo, Solo by itself then has focused on sprayers, misters, blowers and small machines for communal services.

I read somewhere Solo & Dolmar did collaborate on the 7900 series. Solo got the shaft and came out with their 6 series. Solo and Dolmars are almost identical lots of parts interchange. Big difference is 1mm stroked crank in the Solos.

There was a development partnership between Solo and Dolmar (by the time already Makita owned). The result of this partnerschip
were Solo 694 / Dolmar 9000 and 9010 as one model line and the Solo 665, 675, 681 which correnspond to Dolmar PS-6400, 7300 and 7900. One the two Solo models was produced by Dolmar in Hamburg, but I currently don't remember which one.

The Solos usually had a little more displacement than the corresponding Dolmars.

Thank you for the clarification.

I haven't read anything on this thread about a Solo 634 red w/black accent similar to the Stihl 020 AVP handle I have not even tried to turn it over or cleaned it up (YET) Have a few Priorities in the way

You have a solo 610AV there

Thnks! From my digging that's what I had came up with too but the handle was attached differently that the 610av I found pics of. This seems to be a decent little saw.

Anyone used one of these kits from Greece? I’m guessing it’s a Golf?

 

[NCFarmboy]

AFAIK he doesn't do Golf. Every kit I have gotten has been New West. Plating has been excellent. IIRC Adam Clarke said these looked as good as OEM. That was a few years ago.

Thanks. I want to keep my 665 original. I’m taking it to Jamestown this fall. I may experiment with this kit and a used 7300/7910 top end.

Moparnut88, compare these 611 photos to yours. For all I know the 611 and 610AV could be the same externally with internal variations.

They look the same! That's pretty cool! Thnks! I'm curious to see how it runs and cuts.

Got this today. New oem chain tensioner for my Solo 603. A good friend of mine is from the Netherlands, and his parents ordered it and brought it with them over here for me. Pretty cool.
