Hi all...
I have been away from the site for quite a while since I have been too busy with everything else. I popped on the other day and read something about the Solo 651 and 651SP... I couldn't find it again so I started a new thread. I hope that I don't get boo'ed off because of that. Anyway, as many of you know I am a real fan of Solo saws and I believe that they are the most under rated "good" saw out there these days. I just happened to have a few of these 651's and 651SP saws new. The major difference apart from the red top and some other minor differences is this:
1) 651 has a totally different piston (short and cropped skirt) same jug
2) the 651 has a electronically controlled variable advance ignition module (as opposed to the standard electronic ignition on the 651SP
3) The 651 has a rim drive as opposed to a spur sprocket on the 651SP
4) The 651 has a magnesium sprocket cover and different chain catch arrangement- the 651 has a composite side cover.
I think that the 651 will smoke the Stihl 026 in a straight on competition.
here are some pics of the 2... I have the .pdf parts lists I can email to any one wanting them.
