My Dolmar 7900 and Solo 681.

One bit of advise. I'd recommend that you give the saws a little more warm up time before going WOT. The piston expands faster than the cylinder. So you want to let the cylinder warm up before going after it, or you increase the risk of a cold seizure. It can and has happened, though not often.

I thought the same thing. Those cold start vids had me cringing!!!

Bad saws, though. Great work Brad and Jasha. I keep giving the 372 side glances... Wanna try the 266 and the 288 myself, though.

But those blue smoke cold starts are the best though!!

I do agree on that. Firing off the old Super Wiz is a rush for that very reason. Blast of blue/white smoke for a few seconds until she cleans out. The Macs do it, too, even without vicious throttling.

So when we gonna run 'em? Be fun to put Brad's 681 against Slingers 7900 against Ericks 441. Heck, I'll even run you guys straight up even though your running 80cc saws against my 70cc

Nik - you drivin? Andre - you bring the beer!

I missed your post! Sounds like fun. to me!!!!

Just wanted to take a few pics and post'em now that my Windsor bar is finally here.

They saws are very much alike, but definitely have slightly different aesthetics and details.

Here's the 681 with it's new B&C. 24" - pulling 84 links of WoodlandPro 050, 3/8 full chizzy chain.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST SET OF THESE PICS ARE ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smooth handle - 7900.

Ribbed handle - 681.

There you have it! I shoulda waited to cut with the Solo before I took the pics. It's a bit dusty, but it works.

There you have it! I shoulda waited before cutting some wood with the 681 - she's a bit dusty in the pics.

Slick man, slick! Now you need the Makita to round out the trifecta.

 

[Andyshine77]

Nice pics man!

Just an observation, is the Scrench holder pushing the top of the 7900 to the side?

 

[the westspartan]

You should make a calandar with all those pictures! You could have your cats and kittens crawling all over the saws. Maybe a picture in the snow for December.

Thanks A-Shine!!

Nope. It does look like it a bit in the pic though.

I had to cut a 1" section off the rubber so I could get the mount to fit over the spring bracket. It clears perfectly fine with no problems.

It was pushing on the cover at first when it was below the spring, so cutting that small 1" section was a splendd idear.

Sweet pictures. Aesthetically, I can't get around that Dolmar HD filter. Sorry, just can't do it. I like the 681 more.

Funny, I like the low-top filter Dolmar and Solo, but on Huskies, I like the "Kareem Abdul" filters...:monkey:

 

[Andyshine77]

OK it's just the picture, I had to do the same to the holder on my 7900.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

And I gotta say....

That Windsor bar really makes the colors on that 681 pop.

Awfully sharp lookin' 681'er I've got there I must say.


That 681 could win a fashion show. I'm proud of me.

I was thinking of that when I was uploadong the pics to the MacBook. ESPECIALLY the pic of the 681 on the stump....

That is a winner. Great shot! And that bar does look nice on that saw.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

I already emailed the photo to a guy I work with. He has a small custom framing business. That photo is getting framed and put up on the wall!

Here's your picture with some Photoshopping done to it. I brightened the shadows, added contrast, and sharpened it.

Here's a widescreen version I blurred and removed the grain from. Kind of cool.
