The 681 kinda pissed me off the first I took a look under the hood and the starter...... I had to park my T-27 Torx and go find a T-25 Torx????? :deadhorse: :monkey: :bang: :bang:

That must be why it looks like a 15 year old design.
More like 20; it goes back to the 644.
The 656 is hardly all new. It is built on the same chassis as my 651pro. I recognize many parts. Crankcase, tank, muffler, air cleaner, side cover. Some small stuff that's different: primer, throttle lock is part of choke linkage instead of a button on left of handle. Starter is different but looks like it would interchange. Top cover obviously different, and certainly the cylinder under it. New model, but not a new saw.
.......Solo 656 / 56cc / 5.3kg / 3.2kW
Dolmar 5100S / 50cc / 5.1kg / 2.8kW
.....Solo 681 / 81cc / 6.6kg / 4.7kW
Dolmar 7900 / 79cc / 6.3kg / 4.6kW
Hi,
Solo-Germany told me, the 656 ist the new model with new technics. The 651pro only looks like the 656 - but technik ist like the old one. The new 651 has 1000rpm more than the old one. I`ve the new 651pro with 4 hp. Not the best ist the airfilter. But the "big" rest is a very good chainsaw. I would buy it again.

The 681 is pathetically similar to the 7900. Come on, an ounce of originality would be nice. Especially on non-functional, aesthetic elements. Geez.

EPA credits? They don't need no stinkin EPA credits! Ha.
I have heard they have something up their sleeve, but I haven't all the details yet.
It sounds like if you own a solo and don't have a solo dealer nearby, you may be able to get some parts from the dolmar dealer and vice versa. This may be beneficial for some members here. Now if we only knew all the details of what parts are in fact the same.
