Solo 650 |

|
I ran across a German made 650 at a pawn shop for $150. Still |
|
has an Ace Hardware sticker on it marked $289. Looks pretty |
|
clean but the front AV mount on the recoil side is loose. Is |
|
this saw worth a look at this price? Pretty sure they'll come |
|
down at least $25. Parts availability? Thanks for any input, I |
|
don't know anything about Solo. |

Thanks Brett for letting me know where this was. They did come |
|
down & got it for $120. It's going to need a few little things |
|
but should make a good saw. |

Found a nice looking Solo 650 for $120. I'm only getting 130 |
|
compression cold and I am having trouble with it as it warms up. |
|
130 sounds low and the fact that it wants to die out after I cut |
|
for 30 seconds or so makes it seem like a no brainer. What do |
|
you all think though? I can't find compression numbers for it. I |
|
can't open off files on this phone. |

Maybe. That should have read, I can't open PDF files on this |
|
phone. Is 130 cold, low? Sounds low for a saw thats plastic |
|
looks like new so I'm wondering if it was straight gassed. |

Ruled out straight gassed. Piston and cylinder look great from |
|
intake and exhaust. Carb kit is next with a general maintenance |
|
tune up. Air filter design sucks, no pun intended. Fuel bulb is |
|
part of it and to get the filter loose the carb comes loose as |
|
well. |

Maybe the rings are stuck. |
