Thanks for the link Tom
Yeah, I really want the Solo now, but I'm not going to run out and unload my 441 and 460. Bailey's told me that you need to order parts online directly from Solo. How's that working out? Dolmar dealers are almost non-existent around here, so a 7900, even with the HD air filter (makes the saw look like a pregnant guppy) is out. Also, what kind of muffler mod do you recommend for the 681?

I'd be tickled to get 15% out of it. That would make it nearly 25% faster than a stock 7900. I hope to run a couple tanks through it Saturday. So I don't believe I'll be porting it before then. Maybe next week sometime.
Brad your the video king, nice job using real wood not like some jokers on here. Both saws like to be loaded well to cut the fastest, as usual. Steve
Real wood , as opposed to what? Paper mache?
Cut times in softer wood may be a little faster, but if you're using the same sprocket, bar, and chain it's still a fair comparison.
Real wood, Hahahaha. I should have said; I wish you'd use a real saw, llke a 3120, or 880, or a bike saw. Everything else is just a toy.

Howdy,
We can drop ship Solo parts from VA to the end user. Our price is the same as what Solo will sell directly to the end user. If you only need Solo parts, it's more effective to go direct. If you need to pick up other supplies from us , it's cheaper on shipping to get the Solo parts drop shipped through us.

Ive ran both, timed both, stock, modded, and superduper hot rodded. Both are great saws out of the box, both mod well if you don't go crazy with the porting (the factory design team didn't leave much area for improvement). Both of them come with a POS ignition system. They build the same, act the same, even feel the same, but the Solo has the eensy weensy little bit more stroke.
There's a lot more than that to be had.
Andy
How about 35-40%
No wonder Bailey's sells Solo's so cheap THEY DONT STOCK PARTS

Just for the record, I don't need no stinking dealer, lol. .

Interesting.
You don't need no stinking dealer because as far as I know you have never used OPE to put bread on the table. To you power tools are pleasant distraction. If you are in the middle of a job and something fails a stocking dealer can save the situation. Customers don't want to hear excuses. You don't get paid until the job is done.
Point of view makes all the difference in the world.
