Solo 650
By: brettl Date: May 6, 2014, 2:55 pm

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.
