Buying into the hype ordering a solo 681.

[bookerdog]

Okay from all the good I have heard about the 681 from places. I think I will see for myself. Its funny you hear good things bad things about saws, but until you run them yourself. You have no Idea if there going to be good for you or not.

Make sure you write a review! I want to know as well. Please tell us which half of the saw you keep Just kidding of course. I hope it's amazing to get another saw for my addiction.

I looked into the 681. It is not hype. It might actually be truth.

I saw the videos of the Solo 681 up against the 7900.

It looks very similar in construction to the Dolmar - same spring AV, better chain tensioner, but it cuts faster.

I'm actually considering one, once Bailey's gets the decomp valves and wrap handle variants in.

Do you think the full wraps for the 7900 will work on the 681?

 

[SawTroll]

I think he did.

I know - it was a joke.....

I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Some of the Dolmar/Solo air filters and other parts are interchangeable on some models.

Did he happen to mention bigger crank bearings, and a longer stroke?

When you take the barrel off for a port job, drill and tap it out for one.....You don't have to wait till mid May.
