You and your friends sure do nice work. Beautiful saw and sounds great idling in the garage.

Im just glad you are feeling better Brad. If you take jobs and you are rekindled, I think that's fantastic.

Oh yeah, that Solo is absolutely epic! Well done sir, you and your pals do nice work

For me, there is not another saw that comes close to the Solo Twin as far as desirability. It is my Holy Grail. I finally acquired one about 2 1/2 years ago. I proceeded to tear it down, clean it up, and had all everything powder coated. THEN IT SAT....and sat...and sat!!! That was until this week. While laying in bed last week, recovering from surgery, I committed to digging out the parts and getting this thing together while I'm off. I intended to take several days and just do a little each day. But, in typical Brad fashion, I couldn't quit. Twelve hours later, at nearly 7:00 AM, it was done. The way this thing is put together is unlike any other saw I've seen. It wasn't just a matter of putting it together...I had to figure out how it went together. Fortunately, my great friend Rob Yeager was stopping by later that day to check up on me, since I couldn't start it. He was on his way home for viewing the eclipse in TN, headed back to PA. Below, you'll see a video of it running. I've not yet had it in wood, although it's ready.

Here it is when I first received it.

Damn you lucky sod!! I'll get one of those beauties one day!

Nice build! The twin is too my grail. Another one that would be a dream saw is the Sachs-dolmar KMS-4 wankel saw. The way they sound idling is awesome

I finally got motivated and have the 110cc Twin disassembled and cleaned up.

These are the parts headed out for welding repair. @srcarr52

These parts are headed to Mike to be powder coated. @Glock37

All clean parts.

The 110cc topend, in like new condition. @Definitive Dave

New capacitors withe wires soldered on.

Time to repair the fuel tank.

Can someone tell me the rebuild kit PN for a Tillotson HL-185C? I don't see it listed.

That is the right number listed in the guide right?
Maybe worth an email to customer service.

@blsnelling yours looks alot cleaner than mine so far, but I did luck out, it's the 42mm, 110cc version


carb looks tiny for 100cc engine, a carb swap might be in the future for this old girl
