SOLO Solo thread

Have finished my 634 a while back and so it's time to share pictures:

Very nice!

All I've got is a solo battery powered backpack sprayer

sniff sniff

The black n decker charger flame arched out of the transformer plug in.

Here’s a Solo 70 I just got running. I cannot figure out what that loud annoying whistle is that seems to be coming from the fan side. There is NOTHING inside rubbing, touching whatever. I have looked multiple times.

 

[duwem]

Sounds similar to mine maybe a bit more whistle. You metal cylinder schroud is broke though. Should wrap around the top not be 2 pieces .

Just got this 651 for next to nothing and did fuel lines and a muffler mod and it runs real nice . Seems to leak the whole oil tank dry sitting on the shelf . Any body know why this would be before I strip it down

which could be the source of the unusual whistling sound as well

Picked up a 60126 solo. Some similarities but things changed. I’m told it’s the second version of the Solo 70, with the 60112 blue one being the first.

Nice Solo 70/626 pair!
The type variations are a little confusing, however.
I don't claim to be a SOLO expert but from what I know
there are at least 4 variations all sold as SOLO 70:
1. All blue saw with manual only oiler. The oil reservoir is integrated into the sprocket cover, engine number prior to 241000.
2. All blue saw with automatic oiler plus manual oil pump. Engine numbers between 241001 and 275914. Oil tank attached to saw body.
3. Yellow body with automatic oiler. Engine numbers between 275915 and 290800. 6 shoes clutch. Oiling system differs from the blue saws
4. Solo 70 Mark II. Engine number after 290800, 4 shoe servo-type clutch, different transfers.

and then come the 60126 which are basically still the same saws....

I have been working a little on my 61635 I received in parts last december:

But there's more to come since one Rex doesn't add up to more than 25 kg.

A 635 in parts, all body parts sandblasted and ready for a paint job. According to the donor, the second saw is complete as well,
only b&c missing and perhaps a few nuts and bolts.

I'm kind of overwhelmed by this gift I didn't ask for but I'm very happy too.

Since all body parts had been sand blasted, a complete paint job was needed.

Some bolts an nuts are still missing, but she already looks quite satisfying to me

I added/replaced the supports on the back of the air filter bracket on my Solo Twin.

Very nice Mr. H - did you make your own gaskets? I have a 60135 restoration coming up myself.

 

[old_sir_henry]

Thanks

Very nice Mr. H - did you make your own gaskets? I have a 60135 restoration coming up myself.

Yes, all gaskets were cut from Frenzelit sheets. Fortunately all old gaskets were in reasonable shape to be used as samples.

Good luck for your project, we are looking forward for pics!

My blue one does match everything on your #2

Thanks to av8or for the dual spikes.





This saw is normally on display in my "museum" but I like to take it to GTG's so others can experience the twin sound and power as well.

You like some pics of my 60135 in her final shape?
OK, spikes are still forthcoming but other than that,
the saw now is as I like her to to be:
