    Whats so bad about Homelite and Solo. I am sure Solo's would be more popular if they had a bit better service/distribution network.

    I have no problem with the Solos', but like you said their service network is slim. There aren't any Solo dealers around here that I know of, even Bailey's doesn't sell shizza for parts. I would also like to see full wraps.
    What is this chainsaw modification deal I keep hearing about?

    Put in a vote for Jred. Although my Jonsereds count is down to 3 after I sold the little 2036 today, while my Stihl count went up to 5 after I got an 028 super in a box from the dealer today for $20. I was almost sad to see the little 2036 go, after I took the screen out of the muffler and tuned it up it was running pretty good.

    I can think of quite a few old JReds I'd like to add. 621, 49sp, 920.....

    My 2095 is a bad ass saw. I need to tinker with the recoil, but when it runs it's a beast. I imagine it'll really be a monster when it's muff modded.

    :P

    Full wraps are overrated and get in the way unless you're always cutting on big stuff, and are sorta pointless on anything under a 70cc saw.

    Yeah but it might make the Solos more popular in the PNW where the get a lot of criticism from the cutters. Plus the Solos seem to have a good power/weight ratio.
