SOLO Solo thread

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:

Spectacular, Mr. H. - That turned out to be a very fine specimen.

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

I have the same problem with the same saw. I replaced the oil pickup hose and it helped but it still leaks

What about the Solo 656? Somebodys got it for sale for $125 with a scored piston? Worth it or not?

They're very difficult to get parts for. I picked one up from a member missing a couple of smalls and I had to order them from Germany.

I had it out this weekend and it seemed to be poking oil out everywhere around the bar pad . Will rip it down sometime and have a good look in there. They actually go good for a 50 cc saw

Came across this old girl. Has one hell of a kill switch.

That's pretty cool.

How would you describe the 656 JJ, I know they were a 55cc pro saw that was in their last catalogue. Did it run good?

They're a decent runner - I think they're a semi-pro saw but the big problem there is parts are very hard to come by. Unless a person can find a dealer with NOS fairly local,
parts have to be ordered out of Germany. I picked up a pristine example from a member here and my plan is to put a Husky 357 top end on it.

Hi folks,

I completed my 60126 these days and had her out for a couple of pics today.
Didn't yet try to fire her up, though ...

Another fine Solo saw found her way to my place...









Solo 616 VA nearly mint.

That is cool. Hadn’t seen one before. I have a NOS clutch cover for that saw if you ever need one.

I have a NOS (orange) clutch cover for that saw if you ever need one.

Somebody buy my clutch cover please!

 

[old_sir_henry]

Hi av8or3
as you can see there is a clutch cover on my saw so I'll leave yours for other folks in need

So I have had a solo 667 for a while now. And I’ve been wanting to get it running. I need a carb. I’ve seen a walbro hda and wj33 and a bing 48 listed. I have the bing 48 on it but I think the carb has some damage. I’ve rebuilt it but it didn’t change.

Long story short. What hda do I need
